In the year 2024, with various avenues emerging and human beings discovering more aspects of hate and love of each other, dating is one tricky aspect. The hell breaks even looser when dating and celebrities are found in two meters vicinity of one another. Things go further feral when the 'dating' and celebrity is associated with House of the Dragon sweethearts, Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke.

With a cast as beautiful as that of the HBO show, the dating rumors, although do not come as a surprise, come with excessive excitement and underlying confusion.

The House of the Dragon cast even during its off-season does not cease to amaze. Despite leaving its viewers in pieces following the blockbuster finale, the show has more to offer, or at least its cast does. Following an anonymous submission to Deuxmoi, that stated two British actors from a very successful HBO show were dating aided by a picture posted by Fabian Frankel featuring Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke, viewers have accepted them to be dating.

Given their power dynamics, the House of the Dragon script would never allow the two to look even lovingly at each other, let alone warrant them to be lovers. However, the dynamics behind the scenes appear to be much different, as evidenced by the fun bond that all the cast members share with each other.

In fact, the cast members seem to share such a close bond with each other that between the trio, Smith Cooke, and Frankel, there seems to be increased speculation as to who is dating who.

While the rumors initially started about Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke, it was stated that the two would likely not go public with each other, and hence use a cast member to disguise their dates as hangouts. This divided the fanbase, with one side rooting for Olivia Cooke and Matt Smith and the other for Cooke and Fabian Frankel. 

After ensuing a 'who is dating who?' frenzy, all parties involved have chosen to remain quiet on the matter, with no official confirmation in sight. Regardless of what the truth might turn out to be, the mere thought that someone between Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, and Fabian Frankel could be dating each other has left fans reeling and even fighting. After all, this is not the first time Olivia's dating has divided fanbases.
