Harris Dickinson’s Longtime Girlfriend Rose Gray Shares How They Navigate Long Distance

“Rose is always playing her music, unfinished versions,” Dickinson told Hunger Magazine in 2023. “And when I write, I sometimes write with music as well. I feel like music often inspires you, inspires ideas, and inspires direction. Regardless of whether I would make it, I’m always thinking, ‘This would be a good video idea for that song.’”

He continued, “It’s also testing for a relationship because you’ve got to open yourself up to a different kind of dynamic. But it definitely helps with the closeness because you can get to things quicker without that sense of carefulness and trepidation around being offensive. We’re so close that we can just be very direct. And I think she was the same with me, where if I had a crap idea, she’d say, ‘No, we’re not doing that.’”

Gray told the outlet that Dickinson “brought an element of chaos and rawness that I’ve never had before in a video. I was able to lose myself completely. I love a pop girlie video, but Harris brought the cinema.”

She explained how their different styles blended together in “Afraid of Nothing,” in which she plays a runaway bride racing through the streets of Hackney, London.

“I come from a music world, and a lot of my videos to this day have felt quite nostalgic and ’90s, and some of them are quite lo-fi,” Gray said. “Harris comes from a real cinema background, and I think the combination of us both just brought about this really interesting premise. It feels like a little film.”
