Who is Emily Carey's Girlfriend?
Yes, if you were getting ready to shoot your shot, you might want to slow down, as the actress behind young Alicent Hightower is already taken.
Emily Carey, who identifies as queer and uses she/they pronouns, rose to fame after starring in House of the Dragon as young Alicent Hightower. While her character appears to channel ambiguous vibes towards her best-friend-or-maybe-lover Rhaenyra and struggles through an unhappy marriage to King Viserys, the actress herself appears to be in love.
Carey is dating Kelli Marie, a singer from the band RLY that was formed on The X Factor. Marie is 20 years old, and she is currently studying songwriting in Birmingham.
It's not clear how and when exactly the couple met, but they have already shared a lot of lovely videos and photos. In August, Marie shared some photos from House of the Dragon premiere with Carey, which she captioned "proud gf alert".
"The show is absolutely unreal and I can't wait for other people to see your talents," Marie continued in the caption. "Thank you for letting me share this moment with you. I'm so proud of you."
Carey, in turn, returned the favor by dumping a bunch of cute photos with Marie in an Instagram birthday post for her girlfriend on October 27, captioning them with "birthday baby". Marie responded in the comments with a lovely "i love you, thank you em" and a heart emoji.
Carey came out in 2021, posting several pictures from the pride parades and hinting that she posed like she was "ready to pounce on all the homophobes".
