After a short period of modeling, Karen said she has no intention of returning to modeling. She had a goal to become an actress, and she enjoyed modeling when she did it.

Gillan later played multiple characters in the comedy stint The Kevin Bishop Show for two years. She has also played in a horror project called The Well for BBC.

But, Karen’s career indeed took off after she portrayed Amy Pond in the famous TV  series Doctor Who. She had appeared on the popular series once before as the soothsayer. Karen was awarded the Young Scot Award in 2010, following her role as Amy Pond.

She played the role time and again over the next few years, with the last time being the Christmas special of 2013 “The Time of the Doctor.”

Karen got her first role as a TV lead in 2014 in a single-camera sitcom as Eliza Dooley. The show’s name is Selfie, and it got canceled after seven episodes aired on TV, but the rest of the episodes were still later made available on Hulu shortly after.

Karen Gillan Dating and Boyfriend History

Gillan is either really good at keeping things under wraps; otherwise, she is just genuinely single. As of 2019, she doesn’t have any partner, but in the past, she’s had a flame.

Digging deep, we found that Karen was once romantically involved with a British-bloke Patric Green. Patric was a photographer and Karen’s boyfriend for six years from 2006 to 2012.

But in 2013, Karen had to move to the USA for the movie Occulus, which might have been the reason for their parting. Or perhaps Karen took on the project to get away from Patric and the place they shared.

Actress, Karen Gillan is currently single now

After her relation with Patric, Gillan has been paired with many co-stars.  But none of them ever gave a conclusion due to lack of substantial proof. She was even paired with British actor Andrew Brooke but that also just ended up being speculation only without any evidence.

Either way, we can assume that Karen isn’t gay looking at the past relationship. But if Karen might have come to acknowledge a different side of herself, she hasn’t made any comments suggesting such.

But, what we can say is, Karen is very charming, and no matter if she is gay or straight, there will be suitors who will be blessed to have a relationship with her.
