Following the successful premiere of the new Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones & The Six, here is a look at the romantic lives of the cast...

The highly anticipated miniseries is a TV adaptation of the same-name book by Taylor Reid Jenkins and it premiered on the streaming service at the beginning of the month.

The show follows the life of a young singer named Daisy Jones who ends up being paired with a rock band called The Six - which consists of lead singer Billy Dunn, lead guitarist Graham Dunne, drummer Warren Rhodes, and keyboardist Karen Sirko.

Over the duration of the story, we are introduced to the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll mayhem of the 1970s, as we see the band go from rookie artists to music icons.

Lots of drama unfolds in the group which leads to them splitting up, with the author even confirming that she took inspiration from the real relationship between Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham for her best-selling novel.

With the popular series shedding light on the band's romances, many viewers are also eager to know about the love lives of the main cast.

Let's start off with Riley Keough who stars as the titular character - the promising singer who joined the group to create a one-of-a-kind album.

For those who don't know, the 33-year-old actress is the daughter of the late Lisa-Marie Presley and the granddaughter of the legendary Elvis Presley.

She is married to Australian stuntman Ben Smith-Peterson. The couple first met on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road and tied the knot in 2015.

During a memorial tribute for Keough's mother - who passed away from cardiac arrest in January at age 54 - her husband read a statement on behalf of her and revealed that the pair welcomed a daughter in 2022.

Next, Sam Claflin stars as the group's charismatic lead singer who later descends into a problematic love triangle with Daisy while married to Camila.

In his real life, the 36-year-old actor was married to actress Laura Haddock, who he met during an audition for My Week With Marilyn.

Although the duo didn’t land the roles, they found love and tied the knot in 2013. They also share two children, seven-year-old Pip Claflin and five-year-old Margot Claflin.

While Clafin's real love life is not as turbulent as Billy Dunne's, his romances were just as headline-making. In 2019, the pair announced their separation.

The actor admitted that he was in a "bad place," following the break-up, adding: "I'd been through quite a lot personally at the time, I think I needed to work out a few kinks in my own life," per Entertainment Tonight.

Since the separation, he has been reportedly dating model Cassie Amato, according to ELLE.

Camila Morrone makes her small-screen debut as Camila Dunne, the wife of frontman Billy. While the model's character finds herself involved in a complicated love triangle, her real-life romance seems to be the contrary.

The 25-year-old famously dated Leonardo DiCaprio for five years from 2017 to 2022. As soon as the news hit that the couple broke it off just after she hit her mid-twenties, the internet couldn't help but share jokes about the actor's dating preferences.

Since the split, Camila hasn't been romantically linked with anyone. However, Clafin's rumored girlfriend once dated her ex (the Titanic star) back in 2015, meaning that Sam and Camila may be more like Billy and Camila than we initially thought.

Lastly, we have Suki Waterhouse who portrayed the keyboardist Karen Sirko. The 31-year-old actress has dated Batman and Twilight star Robert Pattinson since 2018, but the pair have kept their romance out of the spotlight.

Despite this, the singer gave readers a rare insight into their relationship as she admitted to The Sunday Times: "I'm shocked that I'm so happy with someone for nearly five years."

"I'm always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up [on my phone] or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me," she added.

Daisy Jones & The Six is available to stream on Prime Video.
