Mimi Keene's Relationship: The Actress Keeps Her Love Life Private & Has Found Friends on 'Sex Educa

At the time of writing, Mimi Keene had yet to confirm if she was in a romantic relationship. However, the actress has opened up about the other relationships in her life, including how she feels about her cast mates.

Mimi Keene is a British actress best known for playing Ruby Matthews in the hit Netflix series, "Sex Education." Since her rise to fame, the actress has seen her fans take an interest in her life away from the camera, including her relationships.

The young star has yet to speak about her love life on social media — as she revealed social media platforms were unimportant to her — or during interviews. Instead, she's spent her time growing into her famous role and found herself amid romance rumors.

Mimi Keene Has a Close Relationship with Her Cast Mates

In "Sex Education," Keene plays a high school socialite who develops feelings for an unexpected love interest. And while the actress joked that she did not relate to her character's meanness, she admitted, "I feel a lot more confident in myself after playing Ruby."

"Everyone's so nice! We've known each other for quite a long time now as it’s the third season. But I'd say my first close friend was Chaneil Kular who plays Anwar. Me, Chaneil and Simone Ashley (who plays Olivia) all sat together when we went for our first read through and we just got on straight away. They were my first crew."

Mimi Keene's Relationship with Her Co-star Asa Butterfield

Asa Butterfield plays Keene's character's love interest in "Sex Education." Despite being an unlikely pairing, the onscreen couple became fan favorites. However, social media users seemed to think the two actors also had a romance brewing in real life.

In 2021, a social media user shared a TikTok video insinuating that something might be going on between Butterfield and Keene after they shared pictures of themselves on Instagram appearing to be in the same field of flowers.

Keene left no clues about her love life on social media at the time of this publication.

However, the two actors ended the dating rumors when they confirmed they were just friends after taking "a little deep dive" into their "friendship" while participating in an interview in early 2022.

Mimi Keene's Relationship with Social Media

Since making a name for herself as a talented actress, Keene has garnered a large social media following and had over three million followers on Instagram at the time of writing. However, the actress admitted:

"To be honest, social media has never been that important to me. I've never been very good at it. [...] It's great for weird facts and news and things like that. But I don't know if I would say it was particularly important to me right now. I tend to dip in and out, but when I dip in, I do really enjoy it."

Keene left no clues about her love life on social media at the time of this publication. Instead, her Instagram account documented her life as an actress, including her public appearances at events, and gave fans a glimpse at her life away from the camera.
