The new Prime Video series The Girlfriend is all about Laurie Davidson‘s relationship with his new girlfriend… so, who is he dating in real life?
The 33-year-old English actor plays Daniel, who brings home his girlfriend Cherry (Olivia Cooke) to meet his parents, including mom Laura (Robin Wright). Laura’s convinced Cherry is hiding something. Is she a manipulative social climber, or is Laura just paranoid? The truth is a matter of perspective.
Laurie got his start playing William Shakespeare in the series Will and he has also appeared on shows like Mary & George, The Sandman, and Masters of the Air, as well as the movie musical Cats.
So, who is Laurie‘s girlfriend?
Laurie appears to be dating actress Ruby Hartley!
The couple made their red carpet debut while attending the premiere of The Girlfriend in September 2025, as can be seen in the photos here.
Ruby is best known for playing Stiorra on the Netflix series The Last Kingdom. Laurie had a role in the sequel movie The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die.
It’s unclear when they started dating, but Ruby appears to have visited Laurie on the set of the series The Road Trip when he was filming that in 2024. She is featured in a photo of the cast on Instagram.
Ruby shared photos from the premiere on Instagram and wrote, “IT’S SO GOOD !!! 
.”
Ruby‘s friends left comments on the post that made it pretty clear that her and Laurie are a couple. One friend wrote, “Love love love in every way love 
.” Another said, “!!!!!! You guys!!!!!”
