Love life and relationships
Like many celebrities, Felix was also the subject of numerous rumors about his love life and his sexual orientation, however, he hasn’t so far commented on these assumptions.
In one of his interviews, he said that his girlfriend was the first person to text him after releasing “Ginny & Georgie”, so many of his female fans were disappointed with the fact that he isn’t single.
It was rumored that his girlfriend is his co-star from “Neighbours”, Zoe Cramond, and people mostly commented about their age difference, since she is 14 years older than him. The two were often seen together, attending various red-carpet events, however, neither Zoe nor Felix confirmed (nor denied) these assumptions.
Another rumor was saying that Felix is dating Australian model Lucinda Everist, but he hasn’t commented about this either. What we do know is that they follow each other on Instagram.
As of October 2022, it seems that Felix is in a relationship, but hasn’t been engaged or married.

Less known details about Felix
When he was younger, he wanted to be a graphic designer.
For his role as Marcus in “Ginny & Georgie”, he had to learn American Sign Language (ASL) because his character’s father was deaf.

Felix enjoys music, and learned to play guitar aged seven, and would practice listening to Jimi Hendrix, BB King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He also plays the piano and drums, as well as singing in a local punk band called Enemies Alike.
When he first read the script for “Ginny & Georgie”, he didn’t like Marcus – he thought the character ‘mean and a bit of a jerk’. Now, what he most likes about this character is that he is a kind of an advocate for mental health since in the series, Marcus recognizes that he’s depressed and that he needs therapy. Felix thinks that this would help some teenagers who feel isolated and misunderstood to seek help.
