War and Separation Take Over Their Lives
The civil war has created distance not only between Rhaenyra and Alicent but also between others close to them. Rhaenyra's husband, Daemon, travels to Harrenhal and remains away for much of Season 2. Aegon II, Alicent's son, recovers from battle injuries and shares little time with his wife. These separations affect each character's emotional and political choices. Love and passion give way to survival and strategy.
Cast Denies a Romantic Theory
Some fans believe that Alicent and Rhaenyra once had deeper feelings for each other. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly,
Olivia Cooke
and
Emma D'Arcy
addressed this idea. They laughed at the suggestion. Cooke called it strange and dismissed the theory. D'Arcy did not support it either.

Patrick Mahomes' sweetest win started in high school — thanks to his mom Randi and a Valentine's Day card
How Patrick Mahomes' mom Randi helped him spark his love story with Brittany (Image credits: IG/X) Before Patrick Mahomes became a two-time Super Bowl champion and one of the most recognizable faces in the NFL , he was just a Texas high schooler trying to win over a girl who saw him only as a friend. That changed one Valentine's Day when Mahomes, with a little nudge from his mother Randi, made a small gesture that would alter the course of his life. The high school Valentine's surprise that turned friendship into first love In 2012, Mahomes was a sophomore at Whitehouse High School, known for his athletic talent but not for bold romantic moves. Brittany Matthews, a year older, considered him a friend — until one February lunch in the school cafeteria. Mahomes appeared with a single rose and a folded card, a gesture that caught her completely off guard. 'He did this little, cute thing for Valentine's Day one day at lunch in high school,' Brittany later recalled. 'He brought me a rose and a card.' Randi Mahomes ' quiet hand in her son's first romantic 'play' That moment wasn't entirely Patrick's idea. 'My mom had given me a card to give to somebody,' he admitted. 'I was like, I'm gonna give it to Brittany, I'm gonna surprise her at lunch.' That decision, simple yet heartfelt, cracked the 'friend zone' open. From that day, their conversations grew longer, their bond stronger — the cafeteria gift marking the unofficial start of a relationship that would endure far more than teenage hallways. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Harry Potter Actors Who Grew Up Stunningly.
