Earlier this month, Richard gave very little away about his girlfriend in a newspaper interview.
But he confirmed to The Sun: “I am sleeping with someone. I am very happy with someone.”
Richard was reportedly in an on-off romance with Doctor Who and Victoria actress Jenna Coleman for four years until they split in 2015.
He has also been linked to ITV2 host Laura Whitmore and Suki Waterhouse, who starred alongside British actress Ellie in the comedy-horror film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Richard’s fame has rocketed in recent weeks thanks to his role as Metropolitan Police officer David Budd who was assigned to protect Home Secretary Julia Montague, played by Keeley Hawes.
The pair ended up in a dangerous relationship before tragedy struck when Julia was killed in a terrorist attack. (Or was she…?)
