Who is Jodie Comer's boyfriend? James Burke's absence during 'Killing Eve' star's Tony Awards acceptance fuels split rumors
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jodie Comer, actress of 'Killing Eve', and her boyfriend James Burke were rumored to be dating since 2020. The 30-year-old actress was last seen in New York, where she received a Tony Award last week for her performance in the one-woman play 'Prima Facie'.
James is a 29-year-old lacrosse player and IT consultant from the United States. However, the couple has not been spotted together since 2020. It appears that their relationship has suffered as Jodie has been concentrating on growing her career. In her acceptance speech for the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play, Jodie thanked "family and friends" but omitted James.
Who is Jodie Comer's boyfriend?
Jodie Comer's rumored boyfriend, Burke, plays lacrosse for the United States. He was raised in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor's degree. He sought a career as a professional athlete after graduating.
Where the couple met?
Burke and Comer met at a party in Boston, while the actress was filming for 'Free Guy'. It's not all that shocking that she was drawn to a sports star. This is because Comer has heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson as her best friend, her father is a sports massage therapist, and she has a brother who is a sports performance consultant, as reported by Suggest.
Early in 2020, when a fan came across pictures of the couple on social media, romance rumors began to circulate. Despite not being seen with her anymore, news organizations had previously named Burke as Comer's boyfriend and she had talked about her relationship in an interview in 2022.
'All of her hard work over the years is paying off'
However, a source from the industry revealed, "Jodie and James were really loved up for a while, but they're in different parts of the world. She's at a really exciting time in her career and putting all the opportunities coming her way first. The source added, "All of her hard work over the years is paying off. She's looking forward to her future." In April, she received an Olivier Award and joined her family at London's Royal Albert Hall presentation. But James was nowhere to be seen.
