Who is Rufus Sewell dating now?

After welcoming Lola, Sewell stated the importance of spending time with his children to the BBC while performing in the 2016 production of Art. He said that he would not have done the show if his daughter could not have joined him in London for Christmas. He said, “I couldn’t have taken the job if that hadn’t happened. It’s the most important thing for me.”
On the other hand, Komai revealed in an interview with The Weekendjaunts that the inspiration for Bright Lite came when she was pregnant with her daughter. When she gave birth to her daughter, some of her deepest insecurities surfaced, particularly those concerning gender. So she was terrified of being a mother to a young girl, and Bright Lite was her way of coping.
Moreover, Komai’s goal in creating Bright Lite was to provide a space for people to communicate and support one another while navigating some of their lives most influential and frightening times.
Rufus Sewell and Ami Komai have significant age differences
Komai is 19 years younger than the actor; she is 36 years old as of 2022, and Sewell is 55 years old. Despite their significant age difference, the couple supports and understands each other.

However, Sewell hasn’t shared any photos of himself with his girlfriend on social media. As a result, we don’t know whether the couple is together because they haven’t posted anything about their relationship. But as nothing is confirmed, it’s better to assume the love birds are still together.
