The actress was previously linked with her Call The Midwife co-star Olly Rix, who played her onscreen husband Matthew Aylward.

They reportedly grew close following splits from their respective long term partners.

Olly had separated from his make-up artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri, who he had been dating since 2016.

In November 2023, she was snapped leaving Olly’s home which sparked rumours of a growing connection between the pair – but they have since unfollowed each other on Instagram. 

However, Helen and Olly drifted apart and after joining Raya in a bid to find love, she is now dating the property marketing agency boss.

According to Dan’s LinkedIn profile, he has worked in real estate for more than 25 years and his specialist skill is that ‘he sees the bigger property picture – which now activity embraces technology’.

He was brought up in North Wales and attended Newcastle University before moving down to settle in London.

Dan is currently the managing director and founder of real estate consultancy firm Innesco.
