House of the Dragon Season 3: Is there a release date yet? Here's all details about Rhaenyra and Alicent's relationship
The friendship between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower once gave fans hope for a closer connection. But as House of the Dragon continues, that idea is fading. The growing conflict between the Greens and the Blacks leaves little room for reunion or emotional ties between the two characters.
Conflict Divides Former Friends
Rhaenyra and Alicent
were close when they were younger. Their bond seemed strong before political shifts changed everything. When King Viserys married Alicent, the friendship began to fall apart. Now, the two women lead opposite sides in a growing war. Rhaenyra supports the Blacks, while Alicent stands with the Greens. Each is deeply tied to their cause. The chance of reconciliation seems to shrink with every battle.

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.

Materialists, led by Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, hit the big screens on Friday, June 13. The romantic drama, directed by Celine Song, revolves around a messy love triangle between the two. At present, the cast is busy promoting the movie. In one such media interaction, Dakota, best known for her role in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise and Chris Evans, aka Captain America, revealed which rom-coms their Materialist characters would love. Dakota Johnson essays the character of Lucy, a New York City-based matchmaker. Chris Evans, on the other hand, slips into the shoes of John, a struggling actor and Lucy's ex-boyfriend. Pedro Pascal is seen as Lucy's potential love interest, Harry Castillo. Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans recently had a candid conversation with Entertainment Weekly. When asked to name the Hollywood rom-coms Lucy and John would choose, Chris was quick to reply for Dakota. He said, 'Lucy might like something more cynical." Disagreeing with her co-star, Dakota Johnson shared, 'Well, probably. But I feel like in their world, it is a different world and so they would love Woody Allen movies."

If you're not a dog person but you're a cat person, I'll allow it. But if you don't do animals at all, that's a red flag. There's no way that's going to work for me." Speaking about what he considers a green flag, Chris Evans shared, 'Just a sense of kindness. I like kind people, you know."

Jonathan Bailey Breaks Silence On James Bond Rumours: 'Would Be Hard To Say No'
Jonathan Bailey also admitted he was "flattered" to be asked whether he would be up for appearing as 007. Jonathan Bailey would find it 'hard to say no" if he was asked to be the next James Bond. The Bridgerton actor, 37, is one of several stars to have been linked to the part of the suave spy, after Daniel Craig previously bowed out of the role in the 2021 movie No Time To Die, but Jonathan is 'not sure" if he would say yes to the massive role. When asked on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on Radio 2 if he would 'want" to be Bond, he said: 'I don't … I am not sure … I don't know. I really, honestly, I mean … it would be hard to say no." However, the Wicked and Wicked: For Good actor – who plays Prince Fiyero Tigelaar in the two-part movie musical – believes the next Bond movie will be 'exciting" whoever is in the lead role. He added: 'But I know that it's going to be exciting whatever they do." Jonathan also admitted he was 'flattered" to be asked whether he would be up for appearing as 007. After radio host Scott Mills asked Jonathan about the part, he replied: 'I mean, that's an amazingly flattering ask. 'I could imagine you as James Bond, Scott." Scott replied: 'Well swerved, because that's not true." If Jonathan does become the new James Bond, then it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see the spy on horseback in the next movie. That's after the star previously formed such a bond with a horse called Jack, who he rode in Bridgerton, he requested the equine was cast in Wicked. In a clip posted to Wicked's TikTok account, Jonathan said in a voiceover as he was shown with Jack: 'I went around to see [director] Jon M. Chu before we started filming, and I said to him, I said, 'I think I know who the horse is.' And he was like, 'What do you mean?' It's Jack, the horse that I'd ridden in Bridgerton, who I had an amazing relationship with. People say, don't work with kids and animals. But if it's Jack, I'd say, 'Take the job. He's a legend.'
