After all, he’s let his dating life answer the rumors!

Eoin went shirtless for the cover of Gay Times in 2011, where he posed with his shirt and pants unbuttoned for the September issue of the magazine.

What featured on magazine covers soon appeared on Eoin’s Twitter as well; on 8 June 2012, Eoin tweeted that he had visited the coolest gay bar and even appreciated homosexual men for their dancing talents.

However, this was not the first message he posted that caused his fans to question his sexuality.

A year later, he tweeted once more, this time from Indonesia, saying he was in an Indonesian homosexual bar that provided popcorn with his drinks. In the tweet, he stated,

“Amazing… in a homosexual Indonesian nightclub where they feed you popcorn with a beer…”

By this point, the media was convinced that Eoin was attempting to come out of the closet through his constant tweets. However, once Eoin began seeing various women, the gay accusations looked to be unfounded.

Dating a Singer and an Actress

While the 5′ 11″ (1.8 m) tall movie director was the subject of several gay allegations, he also had various dating relationships. He began dating singer Una Healy in 2006, and the relationship lasted nearly two years till 2008.

The couple eventually separated up, but the cause for their breakup has not been revealed. Una began dating English rugby player Ben Foden in 2008 after her ex-partners divorced.

The couple later married in 2010 and welcomed their first child, a daughter called Aoife Belle Foden, on March 13, 2012. Una and Ben married on June 30, 2012, and are currently living happily ever after.

Similarly, after his romance with Una ended, Eoin dated actress Kellie Blaise. The couple dated for a while before splitting up and moving on with their lives.

Engaged To His New Girlfriend, With Plans To Marry

Eoin is no longer a bachelor and is now engaged to his lovely fiance!

The 35-year-old filmmaker is engaged to Anya Taylor-Joy, an actress 13 years his junior. Although Eoin hasn’t specified a date for their wedding, he did suggest in a 2015 interview with the Independent that the two could be dating for two years.

Eoin and his soon-to-be wife were photographed roaming the streets of Philadelphia in October 2017. Anya may be seen in the pictures wearing her huge engagement ring.

Eoin constantly mentions Anya in his social media posts. Furthermore, the gregarious and socially engaged pair has been seen attending social occasions together. In May 2018, Eoin and his soon-to-be-wife were sighted in Paris, where they were attending the Dior Cruise Fashion Show.

The couple was videotaped as they exited their hotel lobby to attend the celebration.

On June 8, 2018, Eoin uploaded an Instagram photo with Anya in which he referred to her as his adventure companion and stated that his life had improved as a result of her presence. Eoin posted on Instagram,

“You probably can’t tell, but this wonderful gal puts up with a lot from me. Keep your special friend and adventure buddy close, @anyataylorjoy just makes my life better xx”

The couple has not revealed any wedding plans, but given that Eoin and Anya already have a relationship like a husband and a wife, they may be hesitant to make it formal.

The pair not only has a love relationship, but they also work together on their professional careers. Anya, who has been cast in one of the key roles in the upcoming Irish drama “Here Are the Young Men,” will collaborate with her fiancée Eoin, the film’s writer, and director.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the highly anticipated film, and it will be exciting to see how the lovebirds’ chemistry turns out!
