Jordan Firstman has revealed he briefly dated Andrew Scott during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“This is my husband, a hundred per cent going to happen” – Firstman on dating Andrew Scott
“You know I used to have the biggest crush on you,” Firstman told him.
He went on to explain how their relationship began, recalling the excitement of discovering they were both interested in each other.
“I remember when we first started messaging, I was just gagged. I was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m texting with a hot priest.’ I’m like, ‘This is my husband, a hundred per cent going to happen.’”
Scott responded: “But I belong to the church.”
Firstman also spoke about their dates during the pandemic, telling Scott: “The pandemic, we were going for dates. And the banter.”
“I still think we flirt every time we see each other” – Firstman
Scott agreed with his assessment of their connection, describing their exchanges as “excellent” before adding: “We were good.”
However, things did not develop into a relationship. Firstman identified a party as the point when he began to think it was unlikely to happen.
“It was at the W party,” he said, explaining: “I was like, ‘I feel like this is just not going to happen,’”
Despite that, Firstman suggested there is still some chemistry between them.
“I still think we flirt every time we see each other,” he added.
