June 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Amber Midthunder is keeping busy these days, thanks to the success of "The Ice Road" of course, but also her CW series "Roswell, New Mexico," and her leading role in the Disney+ film "Prey." Yet, it seems the former "Legion" star did find time to find love and made it clear just how smitten she was on her Instagram.

In October 2021, Midthunder shared several photos of her cuddling a man named River Thomas. The two's body language hinted they were more than just friends as did her caption, where she wrote, "Like ya lots." Her "Roswell, New Mexico" costar Jeanine Mason seemed excited for her making it IG official with her man since she commented, "Well this is too much for my sister heart!" Thomas even shared the same caption on his own Instagram post but posted different photos of him and Midthunder canoodling. 

According to CBC, Thomas is a co-host of the "Foxing Around" podcast, where he highlights stories of Indigenous people. Both Thomas and Midthunder are both members of tribes and are passionate about representing Indigenous people in the mainstream. "To have a native character and have it be female and strong I think it just important for native people to see," Midthunder explained in Interview. "For my family, or people on the reservation, I think that the more we see our own people doing things that we want to do, the more it breaks down the mental barrier to access."
