Annewil and Tygo met in 2015. Annewil—previously in a relationship with GTST star Dave Mantel—and the actor managed to keep their relationship quiet for six months. "During the first six months, without any external pressure, we took the time to get to know each other well. That was very nice," said Gernandt. Although he was certain of their love, Tygo did not feel ready to settle down with Annewil. Regarding living together, he told Story: "Not now, and not in the future either." Consequently, the relationship ended in 2017—after more than two years.
