My two cents: Lately I’ve seen some fandom narratives suggesting that Alan Rickman “wasn’t interested in sex” or couldn’t have been attracted to Rima Horton.
This is confusing privacy with absence. Not talking about your private life is not the same as not having one...
Alan Rickman shared his life with his wife Rima Horton for over 50 years. A realistically, an intelligent, independent woman wouldn’t stay in a relationship for half a century if her partner were incapable of emotional or romantic involvement...
Sometimes love doesn’t announce itself. It just lasts.
