Maisie Williams joins high-profile dating app Raya, seeks 'sporty man' after Reuben Selby breakup
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actor Maisie Williams has joined the celebrity-dating app Raya. The news comes months after Williams parted ways with entrepreneur Reuben Selby. Williams rose to fame at the age of 12 when she played the role of Arya Stark in the HBO show 'Game of Thrones'.
A source close to Williams spilled the beans about Maisie's dating life in an interview with The Sun. The source said, “Maisie’s pals have got her on Raya in the last few days as she feels like she wants to throw herself into the dating game. She has a load of photos on there and talks in her profile about fitness being important to her, so she could find a sporty man. Right now she just wants some fun and to take things slow, though. She doesn’t feel the need to race into another relationship. But if it happens, it happens.”

Williams' and Shelby's relationship
Williams and Shelby dated for a few years before they were spotted in New York City holding hands in 2019. Williams soon made their relationship Instagram official after dropping a picture from Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's French wedding in May 2019. She also shared a series of pictures with Selby on New Year 2020, along with a loved-up caption. She wrote, "This year was the best. I fell in love with a boy and I fell in love with myself. I started saying “no”. I stopped worrying about the past, I stopped wishing for the future, and I started loving life for what it is today - because “today is a gift, that is why they call it ‘the present’”." She concluded the caption: "For anyone who needs to hear this: it starts with you and the changes you’re willing to make. it’s out there for you to take. so don’t just seize the day, seize your life. happy new year."
Breakup: 'End of an era'
Last year in October, Williams announced their breakup on Instagram. Sharing a picture with Selby, she wrote, "The end of an era. Reuben and I have decided to end our relationship. Since we met 5 years ago, our connection always extended deeply into our shared, and separate, creative careers… and it will continue to do so. This decision is something we are so grateful or as we can protect the magic, that we can't help but emit, whenever we put our brains together. P.s no further questions, please, we must protect our children (my dog)."
