TLDR: Tom Blyth, the 30-year-old British actor known for playing young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games prequel, is dating actress and dancer Daniela Norman. The couple made their relationship official at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025 and have since been spotted at Paris Fashion Week, the BFI London Film Festival, and on a romantic Maldives vacation to ring in 2026.
Tom Blyth’s Netflix rom-com People We Meet on Vacation dropped on January 9, 2026, and fans watching him play the lovable bookworm Alex opposite Emily Bader‘s free-spirited Poppy have one burning question: who is Tom Blyth dating in real life? Spoiler alert: it’s not his on-screen love interest.
The answer is Daniela Norman, a 29-year-old actress and former professional ballerina who’s been quietly building her own impressive entertainment career.
And while the couple keeps their relationship refreshingly private (a rarity in Hollywood these days), they’ve given fans just enough breadcrumbs to prove their real-life love story is even more swoon-worthy than anything on screen.
Who Is Daniela Norman?
Let’s get one thing straight: Daniela Norman is nobody’s arm candy. This woman has serious credentials. Born in London to a Singaporean mother of Malay heritage and a British father, she grew up in a multicultural household that valued discipline and hard work.
Her mom enrolled her in dance classes at age five because she was, in Norman’s own words, “super fidgety,” she told Mixed Asian Media in a 2021 interview.
Little did anyone know that fidgety kid would end up training at the English National Ballet, literally one of the most elite ballet companies on the planet.
By age 11, Norman was invited to train professionally, and she went all in. We’re talking Sleeping Beauty as Princess Aurora, The Nutcracker as Clara, the whole prima ballerina trajectory. But here’s where it gets interesting. Norman didn’t want to just be a dancer.
During a performance of The Nutcracker where she danced Clara, she had an epiphany: “There was definitely a moment onstage where I realised I wanted to do this everyday,” she explained. That moment launched her transition from pure dance into acting.
Her first major move was snagging the alternate role for Lise Dassin in the West End production of An American in Paris. Then came the big screen. In 2019, she landed the role of Demeter in the film adaptation of Cats, rubbing shoulders with Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, and James Corden.
But it was her 2020 Netflix series Tiny Pretty Things that really announced her arrival. Playing June Park, a hardworking ballet student navigating the brutal world of an elite dance academy, Norman proved she could bring the physical intensity of ballet to emotionally complex screen work.
The show only lasted one season, but it put Norman firmly on Hollywood’s radar as someone to watch.
The Tea on Tom’s Love Life: From Britt to Daniela
Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room. Tom Blyth wasn’t single when he first caught everyone’s eye as the villain in The Hunger Games prequel. For most of 2023 and early 2024, he was dating film director Britt Berke.
They kept it low-key (no red carpets, minimal social media), but Blyth did post a Valentine’s Day photo in February 2023 with the caption “What the monkey on the wall said,” referencing graffiti that read “I love you babe.” Cute, right?
In November 2023, an X user leaked a photo of them cuddling on a couch, claiming they’d “been together for years and live together too.”
But then came May 2024, and eagle-eyed fans noticed something. Berke started scrubbing her Instagram, deleting or archiving photos of Blyth. In the world of celebrity relationships, that’s basically the digital equivalent of changing your relationship status to “it’s complicated.”
The breakup appeared to be clean, if quick. Because just weeks later in June 2024, Blyth was spotted in London’s Soho neighborhood hanging out with a new woman in his friend group. Plot twist: that woman was Daniela Norman.
Now, before the internet detectives start screaming “overlap,” let’s be clear. All evidence suggests the Berke relationship ended in May, and the Norman sightings started in June. Tight timeline? Sure. But sequential, not simultaneous. The summer of 2024 was what relationship experts call the “soft launch” phase.
Norman started posting Instagram stories where Blyth appeared in the background. He started liking and commenting on her posts. Neither one confirmed anything, but the digital breadcrumbs were everywhere. By August 2024, it was basically an open secret.
The Big Red Carpet Debut (And Why It Mattered)
On September 10, 2025, Tom Blyth and Daniela Norman officially went public, and they did it with style. They chose the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of Blyth’s film The Fence, directed by the legendary Claire Denis.
And here’s why that matters: TIFF isn’t some celebrity circus like the Met Gala. It’s a serious film festival where real cinephiles and industry insiders gather to celebrate actual art. By debuting there, Blyth and Norman were basically saying, “We’re artists first, tabloid fodder second.”
The visual game was strong. Both wore black. Norman rocked a sleek spaghetti-strap dress, while Blyth went for a suit with a low-cut collared shirt that screamed “I’m European and I know it.”
They coordinated without looking matchy-matchy, presenting themselves as equals rather than star-plus-accessory. Photos from the event show Norman chatting easily with Blyth’s co-stars Matt Dillon and Mia McKenna-Bruce, proving she’s not just along for the ride.
She’s fully integrated into his professional world.
Living Their Best Life: Fashion Week, Film Festivals, and the Maldives
After TIFF, Tom and Daniela went on what can only be described as a glamorous victory lap. On September 29, 2025, they hit up Paris Fashion Week for the Saint Laurent show. Norman wore a sheer black dress, Blyth wore green and gold, and the fashion world collectively said, “Okay, these two get it.” This wasn’t just attending a show.
This was announcing themselves as a style power couple.
October was equally packed. They showed up at the Golden Globes Cocktail Party during the BFI London Film Festival on October 12, rubbing elbows with the British and international film elite. Four days later, Norman was right there at the UK premiere of Blyth’s gritty prison drama Wasteman, showing she’s supportive even when the project isn’t all glitz and glamour.
Then in December, they switched gears entirely, attending the launch of Guinness Open Gate Brewery in London on December 10. It was casual, it was fun, and it showed they’re not just about the red carpet circuit. They’re a real couple who does normal couple stuff, like checking out new bars.
But the real winner? Their New Year’s getaway to the Maldives with a group of friends. Norman posted sun-soaked photos on her Instagram, giving fans that perfect mix of aspirational beach content and genuine relationship vibes. It’s the kind of vacation that says, “We’re in love, we’re successful, and we’re living our best lives.”
The “Sleepover Time” Philosophy (aka The Cutest Thing You’ll Read Today)
In a January 2026 interview with Bustle, Tom Blyth pulled back the curtain on his relationship in a way that’ll make you believe in love again. When asked how they maintain their connection amid Hollywood chaos, he revealed an intimate ritual they call “sleepover time.” Here’s the quote that broke the internet: “My girlfriend and I call it sleepover time.
And it’s so nice because especially in today’s world when we’re rushing around and we’re all on our phones all the time, sometimes we have to be like, ‘Hey, let’s just put our phones away for a few hours.'”
He continued: “There’s no better feeling when you lay down to go to sleep and then you realize two hours have passed and you’ve just been doing pillow talk and just laughing. Even if you’ve been with someone for a year or more, it makes you feel that feeling of when you’re a teenager, getting to know someone for the first time.”
Stop. Just stop. This is the kind of relationship goal content that makes you want to delete your dating apps and wait for your person.
What’s brilliant about this is it reveals a relationship built on actual connection, not performative Instagram stories. In an industry where celebrities monetize every moment of their lives, Tom and Daniela have chosen digital minimalism.
Norman posts the occasional photo of Blyth, usually in group settings or vacation dumps. Blyth keeps his feed professional, with just the occasional like or comment on her posts. It’s a “soft presence” strategy that says, “Yes, we’re together, but our relationship isn’t your content.”
Setting the Record Straight on Rachel Zegler
Let’s talk about the Rachel Zegler situation, because the internet had thoughts. When Tom starred opposite Rachel in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in 2023, their chemistry as young Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray Baird was off the charts.
Fans started shipping them hard, trending “Snowbaird” across every social platform. But here’s the reality check: they’re friends. Good friends. The kind who actually support each other’s careers.
Tom showed up to Rachel’s Broadway run in Romeo + Juliet in January 2025. He attended her Evita performances in London’s West End in August 2025. In interviews, he calls her his “little sister.”
When Rachel submitted a video question during Tom’s People We Meet on Vacation press tour, she said “I’m super proud of you. I love you so much” in the most platonic, supportive friend way possible.
The existence of Tom’s relationship with Daniela has effectively shut down the shipping wars. It’s proof that on-screen chemistry doesn’t always mean off-screen romance, and that sometimes the best co-star relationships are the ones built on genuine friendship and mutual respect rather than tabloid speculation.
What’s Coming Next for Hollywood’s Cutest Couple
Both Tom and Daniela are having serious career moments right now. Tom’s riding high on People We Meet on Vacation‘s Netflix success (number one on the platform with an 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes).
After years of playing dark, complicated characters, he’s proven he can do charming romantic lead just as well. And audiences are eating it up.
He’s also got the Watch Dogs video game adaptation coming, where he stars opposite Sophie Wilde from Talk to Me. Production wrapped in September 2024, with reshoots in late 2025. Plus, there’s Michael Winterbottom’s adaptation of Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, where Tom plays Frederic Henry. That’s the kind of prestige project that screams awards season 2027.
Daniela’s not sitting still either. She’s working on The Nice Ones, playing a character named Jade. The project was in production as of September 2025, and it represents her push to be seen as a serious dramatic actress, not just “the girl who used to be a ballerina.”
Her association with Tom has definitely raised her profile, but she’s making it crystal clear through her choices that she’s building her own career on her own terms.
What makes this relationship work? They both come from backgrounds of intense artistic discipline. Tom went through Juilliard’s brutal conservatory training. Daniela survived the English National Ballet. They speak the same language when it comes to dedication, sacrifice, and what it takes to succeed in entertainment.
They understand the travel, the promotional obligations, the need to protect private moments in an increasingly public world.
As Tom’s star shoots into the stratosphere and Daniela carves her own path, they’ve figured out how to be a power couple without becoming a tabloid circus. They choose prestige events over paparazzi traps. They maintain digital boundaries.
They support each other’s ambitions without making their relationship the main story. It’s refreshingly mature for young Hollywood, and it’s working.
Whether they’re having “sleepover time” pillow talks in their London flat or walking red carpets in Paris, Tom Blyth and Daniela Norman are showing us what modern celebrity romance can look like when you’re in control of the narrative.
Public when it matters, private when it counts, and always on their own terms.
