Innocent face, cute smile, and talking eyes, Joey Batey is the current heartthrob. Making many interested and invested in his love life, the topic of Joey Batey Girlfriend is the hot take now.

Could Joey Batey be Dating His Bandmate Madeleine Hyland?
Since very little of Joey Batey is known, many rumors and speculations have been flying around surrounding his love life and his girlfriend. While some think he is dating his co-star Anya Chalotra, others think he might be dating his bandmate, Madeleine Hyland.
Joey posted a picture with Anya for the first time in 2019. Dated 9th November of 2019, the actor posted a picture of himself with Anya with the caption, "Getting ready for the oncoming @witchernetflix storm. With pudding. And @anyachalotra ... ‘Eternity is hidden in every moment...’ Steel yourselves, wolves. # December 20th."

The seductiveness and mystery portrayed in the picture, made many questions if they have something going on or are they just friends.

The Witcher Season 2 Sees Jaskier Bringing Two New Songs
Few would have predicted that one of the most memorable moments from season one of The Witcher, which premiered on Netflix in 2019, would be the absolute banger of a song strummed by humble bard Jaskier played by Joey Batey in the second episode, rather than the special effects, fight choreography, or even Henry Cavill's central performance. Toss a Coin to Your Witcher's viral success surprised Batey and the song's creators; composers Giona Ostinelli and Sonya Belousova, as well as lyricist Jenny Klein.
Coming with another banger in season 2, released on Netflix on December 19, Batey followed up the season with the grittier Burn Butcher, Burn, performed in Episode 4. Jaskier's song is darker in tone than his previous, focusing on how he felt after his last encounter with Geralt of Rivia, in which the Witcher and bard parted ways on poor terms.
When asked how did he compose Burn Butcher, Burn, Batey explains, "The main thing that we wanted to do coming into Season 2 was explore Jaskier's discography and his musicality, and how he can shift and change and develop his own musical style," in an interview with Newsweek. He further added he wanted Jaskier to "step away from perhaps the poppier, catchy tunes and no longer rely on the stories of others to translate into the songs but rather explore his own stories and his own."
Will the song be a hit like his first Toss a Coin to Your Witcher, or will it be just another tune playing in the world-famous series? The Witcher season 2 is currently streaming on Netflix. The cast of the series is led by Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, and Freya Allan as Ciri.
