Sex Education is one of the best TV shows on Netflix right now, with the second season about to premiere on January 17.
This hilarious, heartwarming show about a misfit group of teenagers fumbling their way through high school, has turned out to be a smash hit for the streaming service, earning millions of fans around the world.
And a huge part of its success is the awesome cast, who manage to perfectly portray all the complicated emotions that come with learning about sex and relationships as a young adult.
But did you know that two of the show’s lead cast members are actually dating in real life?
Connor Swindell, who plays the sexually-confused school bully Adam Groff, is in a long-term relationship with his former on-screen love interest Aimee Lou Wood, who plays the adorable Aimee.
Aimee and Adam have a brief relationship that quickly fizzles out after a less-than-impressive sexual encounter – so yes, this real-life couple has performed sex scenes together on-screen.
Fans first discovered the pair were an item after they started posted loads of cute couple snaps on their respective Instagram accounts.

“Aimee and I have been approached together a lot. People see her and then me and there’s no doubt we’re ‘that couple off Sex Education‘,” Connor told The Telegraph.

To mark Connor’s birthday, Aimee wrote a huge post to celebrate her man.
“HAPPY DAY OF BIRTH SWINDELLS YOU BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT MAN. You’ve been a warrior king forever in the hundreds of lives you have already lived but now you’re my [king emoji],” Aimee wrote.
“AND I DONT GIVE A F IF ANYONE THINKS THAT IS CRINGEY cuz I’m trying to be as brave as u are. I’m owning my narrative. Big thank you to Adam Groff and Aimee Gibbs for making all this possible… Not going to say any more because I feel vulnerable but YOU KNOW THE REST”.

Although they probably won’t be having any more romantic scenes together – it’s becoming pretty clear that Connor’s character Adam is gay – we can’t wait to see the second season of this awesome show and see how each of their characters evolve!
