Dean Gaffney, known for his role on the TV show EastEnders, seems to be using the dating app Hinge and is reportedly interested in women much younger than himself – around 15 years younger, in fact.
A TikTok user revealed that actor Dean, age 47, attempted to connect with her on a dating app and complimented her, calling her ‘gorgeous’.
I was completely stunned when I saw Dean Gaffney trying to match with me on Hinge – it was the last thing I expected to happen!
I really enjoyed watching EastEnders. My mum would be absolutely thrilled to hear that – she’s a huge fan!
A comment asking who has been directly messaged or ‘swiped’ on by Dean Gaffney has gained nearly 900 likes.
Many other users on the app shared similar experiences, with comments like ‘This has happened to me too’ and ‘It’s happened to everyone.’ One person even said he messaged her, calling her ‘stunning’.
This news follows reports from less than a month ago that he had begun dating Kate Black, a Harvard graduate 16 years younger than him, starting in April.
Last year it was revealed how Dean had signed up to a dating app in a bid to find love.
The actor, a father of twin daughters with his former partner Sarah Burge, has started using the dating app Hinge.
He stated on his profile that he doesn’t want to date smokers, calling it his biggest dealbreaker.
His profile said: ‘Be a nice humble person, it’s nice to be nice… you’ll get the same from me.’
Let me tell you, Dean really knows how to make an impression! His dating profile isn’t just about photos of him looking sharp – seriously, he always looks amazing – but also a fantastic line: he says dating him is like winning the lottery every day. And honestly, who wouldn’t want that kind of excitement?
After ending his relationship with Sarah in 2015, Dean joined the dating app Bumble in 2019, hoping to meet someone new.
After not having success with Bumble and Tinder, Dean joined the exclusive dating app Raya in 2021.
On his profile, Dean is said to have chosen Kate Bush’s 1989 track ‘This Woman’s Work’.
