He mentioned Rylance briefly in his funny acceptance speech. Goldstein stated, "I was very, very specifically told I'm not allowed to swear, so this speech is going to be f**king short," he added, "Beth, I love you."

'Couldn't make it work'

While no one knows when exactly the pair started dating, speculations and rumors about their breakup began as early as April 2022. However, as per the Mirror, a source said, "They’re both in exciting times in their careers and really busy and they just couldn’t make it work." As their careers took precedence, the pair also unfollowed each other on social media. However, they have not given any public statements about their relationship status. Brett Goldstein has reportedly been single since then, but based on how secret he was about his relationship with Rylance, fans can only guess.
