As of 2019, Comer is believed to still live with her parents in Liverpool where her dad works for Everton Football Club as a sports massage therapist. Her brother works for Huddersfield FC as an analyst.
In interviews, Comer has spoken about her experience of classism and imposter syndrome as directors and producers have asked if she can lose her accent. Many have been surprised at her ability to act and adopt different accents.
She also publicly thanked Liverpudlian actor Stephen Graham as he recommended her to his agent after he had seen her perform in a play when she was just 15.

On her Instagram, we see Comer appear on plenty of magazine covers as she has impressively shot to fame having been acting since the age of thirteen.
However, we rarely see any snaps of her personal life. Comer explains:
“I’ve seen comments where people say, all you do is post work stuff. And it’s so hard, because I understand that it’s about balance and engaging with the people who support you, but I also have to be protective of my own world, you know?”
“It’s an adjustment. Doing gorgeous glamorous magazine shoots and all the rest of it, that is a part of this world that you don’t know about until it happens.”
