Daisy May Cooper and Anthony Huggins’ Whirlwind Romance
Daisy May Cooper, the beloved star of This Country and Am I Being Unreasonable?, has reportedly found love again with her boyfriend, Anthony Huggins, after a whirlwind romance. The couple, who met on the dating app Hinge, have taken their relationship to the next level, welcoming their first child together, son Benji, in June. Now, sources close to the pair have revealed that Daisy, 38, and Anthony, 46, are engaged to be married, with friends and family overjoyed by the news. Daisy even appeared to confirm the engagement herself in a post on Instagram Stories, affectionately referring to Anthony as "her fiancé."
The couple’s journey began when they matched on Hinge, and their relationship quickly blossomed. After meeting, they moved in together just a year later and welcomed Benji, their adorable son, in June. Despite the challenges of parenthood, Daisy and Anthony have clearly found a deep connection, with insiders describing them as "madly in love." Their relationship has been described as a "success story for dating apps," proving that true love can be found in the most modern of ways. The pair made their relationship public in May when they attended the BAFTA TV Awards together, marking their first major red-carpet appearance as a couple. Daisy also gave fans a glimpse into their relationship during a promotional video for her BBC series Am I Being Unreasonable?, where she playfully referred to Anthony as her "fit fiancé and baby daddy" and revealed that he would make a cameo in the show.
New Beginnings and Challenges
Daisy has been open about the challenges she faced during her pregnancy and the birth of Benji. In an interview with Closer, she revealed that her experience with childbirth was "terrible" and "so scary," as Benji was born seven weeks premature. The actress admitted that she hasn’t fully processed the ordeal, jokingly calling her son a "miserable b**" while reassuring fans that he is now "fine." Daisy has also spoken candidly about her decision not to have more children, citing the traumatic experience of childbirth. "No way, oh my God. It was terrible," she exclaimed, adding that she still struggles to reflect on the ordeal. Despite the challenges, Daisy has embraced her new role as a mother and has spoken glowingly about the joy Benji has brought into her life.
The couple’s relationship has been a source of strength for both Daisy and Anthony, who each have children from previous relationships. Anthony, a DJ on the Bristol night scene under the moniker "Fuse One," has two children of his own, while Daisy has two children—daughter Pip, seven, and son Jack, four—from her previous marriage to Will Weston. The blending of their families has been a seamless process, with Daisy describing how Benji has brought all the children together as brothers and sisters. "They get on so well," she shared, expressing her gratitude for the loving and supportive environment they have created together.
A New Chapter in Love and Personal Growth
Daisy’s relationship with Anthony has also sparked a newfound understanding of what love and partnership mean to her. In a recent interview with Fabulous Magazine, she reflected on her past experiences, revealing that she had previously believed love involved drama and conflict. However, her partnership with Anthony has shown her that true love is about "being able to live together on a day-to-day basis, enjoying each other’s company, being completely yourself and having that accepted." Daisy has also praised Anthony’s kind and laid-back nature, describing him as her perfect match. "He doesn’t want to compete with me," she said. "He earns £1,500 a month and he’s the sweetest, kindest, most chilled-out man."
Daisy’s journey to finding love with Anthony has not been without its ups and downs. Prior to their relationship, she had a string of high-profile romances, including a brief marriage to Will Weston, which ended in divorce in 2021 after just two years. Daisy later revealed that she had grown tired of married life and felt that the relationship wasn’t built on "real love." She also had a whirlwind romance with chef Ryan Weymouth in 2022, which ended abruptly after five months. Despite these setbacks, Daisy has emerged stronger and wiser, embracing the calm and stability that Anthony brings into her life.
Career and Personal Transformation
In addition to her personal milestones, Daisy has also undergone a dramatic image transformation over the past few years. The actress has credited the keto diet with helping her slim down after lockdown, and her newfound confidence has been evident in both her personal and professional life. Professionally, Daisy continues to shine as one of Britain’s most talented comedic actresses, with her hit series Am I Being Unreasonable? garnering critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. Her ability to balance her career and family life has been a testament to her resilience and dedication, inspiring fans and followers alike.
As Daisy and Anthony prepare to tie the knot, their love story serves as a reminder that true love can be found in the most unexpected places—even on a dating app. With their son Benji bringing them even closer together, the couple is set to embark on an exciting new chapter in their lives. Daisy’s journey from heartbreak to happiness is a true fairy tale, proving that love can conquer all, even in the chaos of modern life.
