Tahkyah Brings Plenty Confirms Relationship with Bella Ramsey Amid Growing Public Interest and Franchise News

After months of online speculation and subtle clues scattered across social media, Indigenous actress Tahkyah Brings Plenty has officially confirmed her relationship with The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey. The announcement, made via a direct Instagram post earlier this week, puts an end to swirling rumors that had been circulating since early 2023 and 2024 — and adds a deeply human element to the on-set chemistry fans have long admired.

The confirmation came just days after Bella Ramsey deactivated their own Instagram account, leaving fans wondering about the state of their online presence. But Brings Plenty wasted no time filling in the silence: in a now widely shared post, she included a candid photo of herself and Ramsey together, arms wrapped around each other at what appeared to be a private gathering. The caption read simply:

“my peace, my partner, my person. 🌿”

Below the photo, Bella Ramsey was tagged. That tag, plus the addition of Bella’s name in Brings Plenty’s bio and a series of Instagram Stories showing sweet, personal moments between the two, cemented the reality of a relationship fans had only speculated about—until now.

Love Behind the Lens

The couple first met during early pre-production for The Last of Us Season 2 in late 2023. While both actors maintained a degree of professional privacy throughout the shoot, insiders and fans alike began noticing the deepening bond between them.

By early 2024, Bella had begun to drop emotional — though unnamed — references to a significant person in their life. In an interview promoting The Last of Us Season 2, which premiered in April 2024, Ramsey made headlines by saying:

“I’m in love. Properly in love, for the first time. It’s something that grounds me.”

At the time, many assumed Ramsey was referring to fellow performer Maisie Stella, with whom they’d been previously (and inaccurately) linked. However, multiple sources now confirm that the person Bella was referencing was, in fact, Tahkyah Brings Plenty. This is backed up not only by timing but also by behind-the-scenes accounts from production assistants and cast members.

“Everyone on set knew,” one crew member shared anonymously. “They tried to keep it lowkey, but the care and connection were impossible to miss. It was real.”

A Subtle, Yet Powerful Confirmation

In a world saturated with celebrity overexposure, Brings Plenty’s approach to confirming the relationship feels refreshingly grounded. Rather than opt for a headline-making press release, she let the truth speak for itself—through visual intimacy, personal captions, and the simple act of naming Bella in her bio.

The now-viral photo shows the two in soft lighting, their expressions relaxed and happy. Fans immediately picked up on the deeper significance of the post, which quickly circulated across TikTok, Twitter, and LGBTQ+ forums.

Ramsey, who uses they/them pronouns and has long advocated for LGBTQ+ visibility, has not issued a direct public comment since the post—but given their recent decision to step away from social media, many interpret Brings Plenty’s post as a mutual, pre-agreed reveal.

Representation and Impact

The relationship between Tahkyah Brings Plenty and Bella Ramsey represents a significant moment in media visibility—particularly for queer and Indigenous audiences. Brings Plenty, a Lakota actress and activist, has spoken in interviews about honoring her identity and uplifting Native representation through her work. Ramsey, who rose to fame as Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones and reached global recognition as Ellie in The Last of Us, has consistently used their platform to advocate for queer youth, gender inclusivity, and mental health.

Together, the two represent something rare in Hollywood: a young, queer relationship that isn’t performative, commodified, or forced into the spotlight—but instead tender, honest, and deeply respected by those around them.

What’s Next for the Couple and the Franchise

Though their personal lives are now public, both Brings Plenty and Ramsey remain focused on their professional work—most notably within the The Last of Us universe. Season 2 premiered in April 2024 to widespread critical acclaim, following Ellie’s evolving narrative in a darker, more mature arc.

But the biggest franchise news came shortly after: Season 3 of The Last of Us has officially been greenlit by HBO, with a planned release window of late 2026 or early 2027. According to series creator Craig Mazin, the third installment will place significant focus on Abby’s perspective, continuing to adapt key storylines from The Last of Us Part II and potentially exploring original material.

Tahkyah Brings Plenty, who plays a new supporting character is not tied to Abby’s journey, is expected to have a larger role in Season 3, though details remain under wraps. Bella Ramsey is confirmed to return as Ellie, further deepening the emotional complexity that has defined the show’s legacy.

A Quiet Power

In a media landscape often defined by oversharing and spectacle, the way Tahkyah Brings Plenty and Bella Ramsey have chosen to confirm their relationship stands out. It’s soft. It’s clear. It’s rooted in mutual respect, culture, and love.

While the headlines will continue, fans and followers alike seem to agree: the real story is not in speculation, but in the calm strength of being seen—exactly as you are, with the one you love beside you.

And that’s exactly what Tahkyah and Bella are showing the world.
