Ncuti keeps a low profile and keeps his personal life private. He has not publicly stated whether or not he is in a relationship, and everything seems to indicate that he is currently single. However, rumours suggest that he was in a relationship with Jessica Hardwick for several months in 2018. The young lady is a London-based photographer who has worked with several celebrities.
