News about Hardy and Plummer calling it quits broke early this year. The exes reportedly dated for 18 months before opting to separate. Sources claimed the pair grew apart mainly because of their demanding careers, which made them stay apart for a long time.

The insiders also claimed that the couple broke up after Christmas, with Plummer unfollowing Hardy on social media. They had separate stints on the drama series, "EastEnders," but began dating in 2021 after meeting on the set of the thriller series, "The Girl Before."

Ben Hardy's Relationship with Olivia Cooke

Hardy dated Olivia Cooke in 2020. The pair, in love then, were over the moon and didn't shy away from publicly displaying affection. The two reportedly found romance while on the set of the crime comedy film, "Pixie," in which they co-starred.

The film centers around a woman and two men who become fugitives in the Irish countryside after a heist goes wrong. This crime movie also features Alec Baldwin and Daryl McCormack, among others. Hardy's romance with Cooke was short-lived.
