Rosie's Dating Red Flags
In January 2023, Rosie revealed her biggest dating red flags, stating she can tell if someone is more interested in her character than her. She told The Mirror: "The biggest red flag is when someone says, 'So, tell me what's going to happen next.' It's obvious they're not interested in me, just trying to get spoilers."
Preferring Normal Guys
Rosie admitted she has never dated anyone in the public eye and prefers "real blokes." Speaking to The Sun, she said: "I've always been quite cautious when it comes to love and have never dated anyone in the public eye. The guy I'm getting to know is just a normal guy."
Secret Boyfriend Revealed
In September 2025, Rosie confirmed she has been in a secret relationship for nearly three years. Her boyfriend is a quantity surveyor from Yorkshire who prefers to stay anonymous. Rosie shared: "He has never been one for fame. He likes to stay anonymous, and I respect that." She added that he enjoys attending events with her, but they rarely discuss Emmerdale at home.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8:00pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
