Hannah has an eight-year-old daughter Kitty, whom she shares with Italian hotelier Gianluca Cugnetto.
Her last red carpet appearance was at the Olivier Awards in London in April 2022, and although Hannah has never spoken about the split, she described herself as a single mother in an interview in 2023.
When Michelle Visage asked on the Rule Breakers podcast if she had time for men, Hannah initially joked, “No,” before adding, “I mean, I think we all have time if you make time.”
