Oh no! Maisie Williams and her longtime boyfriend have decided to go their separate ways. Well, that’s not exactly correct — they’ve decided to stop dating. But from the sound of this announcement they are very much going to remain both friends and collaborators.
The Game Of Thrones star has been with Reuben Selby for nearly five years! At their ages — Maisie is just 25 years old — that’s a lifetime! Maisie revealed the breakup on her Instagram Stories Thursday night, opening with the dramatic — but too real — “the end of an era

She broke the news to fans, saying:
“@reubenselby_ and i have decided to end our relationship. Since we met five years ago, our connection always extended deeply into our shared, and separate, creative careers… and it will continue to do so.”
The conscious uncoupling sounds like it will allow them to stay business partners on endeavors like the Daisie app without relationship issues causing bigger problems. Maisie continued:
“This decision is something we are so grateful for so as we can protect the magic that we can’t help but emit whenever we put our brains together.”
She ended the announcement with the adorably cheeky request:
“P.S. no further questions, please. We must protect our children (my dog).”
She and the modeling agency founder went public in Summer 2019, right in time for Reuben to serve as Maisie’s plus-one for Game Of Thrones sister Sophie Turner‘s wedding. They have been seemingly inseparable since.
Reuben shared his now ex-girlfriend’s post on his own Stories, including another cute one in which she captioned a grab of a story about their breakup — featuring one of many photos of the gorg couple wearing matching outfits:
“Please don’t be sad for us — just appreciate the fits.”
So glad they’re keeping their sense of humor! As for Maisie, this gives a little bit of a different context to her recent posts living her best life all over the world — but with no Reuben in sight.
We just hope both of them can find happiness through this change. Like we said, it’s a BIG one — they were together almost her entire adult years!
