Dating Life
Myles was in a relationship with actor Charles Dance, thirty years older than her, from 2004 to 2005.
Then in late 2005, Myles started dating actor David Tennant after shooting an episode of the TV series Doctor Who. The couple met on the shooting of Doctor Who shortly after Tennant landed the role.
In 2006, Myles mentioned she was happy with Tennant and wanted to start a family. However, reportedly, Tennant ended the relationship over the phone, blaming the distance between them in October 2007. The pair dated for more than two years and stated it was difficult for both because Myles was filming in Los Angeles and Tennant was in the United Kingdom.
Father's Death
Myles' father, Peter, died at 67 on 21 March 2020 after contracting coronavirus. She considered herself fortunate because she was permitted to see her father for five minutes a day before he died.
In an interview in 2020 with Good Morning Britain, Myles explained she was allowed into his father's ward under strict medical supervision and clinical advice, wearing a visor and full protective uniform. However, she could only be in the room with him for five minutes and had to stand at a two-meter distance.
"They did allow me one moment to go in and hold his hand. I was wearing protective gloves, so it was so hard. You can't have that flesh-to-flesh moment… to kiss your loved one's brow and hold their hand, and it was very obvious that his breathing was starting to slow down massively," she added.
Days after her father died, she began posting Q&A videos on Twitter, where she talked about her fears and interacted with fans to get through the difficult time.
