'HOTD' star Matt Smith's mystery love interest's identity revealed

House of the Dragon star Matt Smith recently made headlines as he was photographed passionately kissing a mystery brunette on a Rio de Janeiro sidewalk.

Now, the brunette has been named Jessica Felix, a Brazilian model and trainee doctor, who’s 26-years-old, per the Daily Mail.

Jessica documents her glamorous lifestyle in Brazil on her Instagram account, which has more than 4,000 followers.

Matt’s last high profile romance was with actress Lily James, which ended in 2020. He was then reportedly dating businesswoman Caroline Brady in 2021.

Matt met Lily while filming Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in 2014. The duo kept their relationship strictly private and made it official in 2015 at the Milan premiere of Lily's film Cinderella.

In February 2024, the Doctor Who star made his feelings clear about marriage and settling down.

When asked by The Guardian if he wants to settle down, he replied: “Oh, my mum asks me that every day. I don’t know, I don’t know … I’m in no rush at the moment."

He added that his Irish terrier Bobby is the "anchor" of his life.

"Dogs are a wonderful thing," he remarked.

In another interview with Esquire, he shared that he’s hard to live with due to his indecisiveness.

"I always seem to find myself dithering things out ... I’m a ... nightmare to live with, let me tell you … I’m lucky, though. I’ve got friends and family who’ll try to pull my head out of my a*** as much as possible."

Matt Smith added: "I would imagine having children allows this all to fade away a bit. Because there just isn’t the time ... There isn’t the time to be so self-involved, not if someone needs to go to school or they’ve got spaghetti hoops up their nose."
