On screen, Emelia Clarke’s character Daenerys Targaryen is often seen locking lips with Kit Harrington’s character, Jon Snow, despite the fact that, SPOILER ALERT: she’s his aunt. But off-screen, the London-born 32-year-old is more secretive about her personal life. Here are some of her rumoured romances.
1. Charlie McDowell
Emilia is rumoured to have begun dating Charlie McDowell, Rooney Mara’s ex, in autumn last year.
There were a series of tweets and Instagram posts which seemed to give it away, though the couple never confirmed it.

3. James Franco
Emilia and actor James Franco were linked for a long time, and were even rumoured to be engaged.
One small blip, however: they were never seen together apart from at two official engagements, let alone with any sign of a ring.
Emilia laughed the rumours off on the red carpet telling press they had only actually met twice briefly.
She said: “He is, of course, beautiful.
“But I feel there’s only a handful of women who could form an engagement after two meetings, and I’m not one of them.”
4. Jared Leto
Rumours of a burgeoning romance between Emilia and actor and singer Jared Leto after he brazenly flirted with her at the SAG Awards.
On camera, he confessed he hasn’t actually seen Game of Thrones, but that he was a fan nonetheless.
He said: “I haven’t seen your show, but I know people are obsessed with it and say it’s absolutely amazing.”
He then turned to the camera and said: “Have you looked into her eyes? They’re absolutely insane!”
