Daisy May Cooper, known for her role in This Country, is currently enjoying a blissful relationship with her boyfriend, Anthony Huggins. The couple welcomed their son in June, with Daisy, 38, sharing the news on Instagram from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Her baby boy, Benji, arrived earlier than expected on June 6, and she humorously shared her experience, expressing gratitude to the medical team for their exceptional care during the nerve-wracking time.
“Benji, you showed up earlier than planned, and I nearly needed the Samaritans for the worst post-op constipation, but you’re absolutely perfect,” Daisy wrote, introducing her newborn. Just weeks after Benji’s birth, Daisy made her first public appearance, looking stunning in a black minidress, as she and Anthony visited Cirencester Library in Gloucestershire to register their son’s birth.

Last month, Daisy shared more updates about Benji, proudly noting that he was thriving and gaining weight, calling him their “little miracle.” Benji is Daisy’s first child with Anthony, while she also has two other children, Pip, 5, and Jack, 3, from her previous marriage to Will Weston.
Daisy and Anthony’s relationship blossomed after meeting on the dating app Hinge, with Anthony, a Bristol-based DJ, moving into Daisy’s Cotswolds home shortly after. Describing their bond, Daisy likens them to “Bonnie and Clyde,” embracing their unconventional romance.
Reflecting on her relationship with Anthony, Daisy told Fabulous Mag that she now understands true love is about living together harmoniously and enjoying each other’s company without competition or control. She praises Anthony for his calming influence and kindness, jokingly calling him “the new Jesus Christ.” Before Anthony, Daisy had brief romances, including a short-lived marriage to Will Weston, which ended in 2021, and a fleeting relationship with chef Ryan Weymouth.
