Now she has been dubbed a "performative ally" as a result of her alleged choice of partner being incompatible with her previously stated position.
She is said to be dating an American named James Burke. After Twitter users trawled through social media and discovered his voting register for the GOP - the party of US President Donald Trump.
Another user discovered that he followed her on Spotify and had a playlist called 'Jodie's songs'.
And that she tagged him in an Instagram story. He also follows President Trump on the account, which has now been deleted.
