Eleanor went public on social media with Will in February 2021.
She first sparked engagement rumours in November 2021 when she stepped out at the supermarket with a diamond ring on her finger in London.
Sources at the time of the engagement claimed the Poldark star is ‘absolutely smitten’ with her beau after taking her time before entering a new relationship following her split from co-star Harry Richardson in 2018.
Eleanor first hinted she had a new man in her life when she shared a loved-up social media snap with Will in February 2021.
A source told The Sun: ‘The pair have been seeing each other for quite a few months and are absolutely smitten.
‘She gets on really well with his family and they decided to be together with them during quarantine.

‘It’s been a while since her last boyfriend. She took her time, didn’t rush into anything and she really thinks things can go far with Will who is a proper man’s man.’
The star also revealed she’d been spending lots of time with Will’s family as they isolated together during the lockdown.
She told the Overrated podcast: ‘We’re just having a real laugh. Just sitting out in the garden doing a lot of drinking.’

Will plays for Clifton Rugbybut also played for Coventry Rugby, Leicester Tigers, Doncaster Knights and Nottingham Rugby Club.
Speaking about Poldark in a new interview with The Teleraph, Eleanor admitted: ‘My life changed so much both professionally and personally.’
‘Suddenly, when you become part of something that’s very successful, people treat you differently: they start coming to you for answers. Actors on set would start asking me things as if I were the person who would know, when really I was just 22, and trying to find my feet.’
She is currently starring in Matthew López’s Reverberation at Bristol Old Vic, which will play for one month from October 2 to November 2

‘You’re always trying to find the next role that will break the mould in which people see you,’ she told The Telegraph this week. ‘And yes, it can be hard, when you’ve done something like Poldark for a very long time, to prove that you can do something different.’
