Who Is Josh Hutcherson's Girlfriend?

Josh Hutcherson's girlfriend, Claudia Traisac, is a Spanish actress. She was born Claudia Hernández Traisac on December 14, 1992, in Leganés, Spain. Traisac is known for her acting roles in 2014's "Escobar: Paradise Lost," "Apaches" in 2015, and "El Principe," also in 2014. The actress has also acted in many television shows like "Unauthorized Living" and "High Seas."

Traisac and Hutcherson's acting careers are what brought the two together. They reportedly met in March 2013 on the "Paradise Lost" film set in Panama. They were confirmed to be dating after they were spotted in June 2013 in Los Angeles kissing. They were seen in June during an outing, taking a drive in Hutcherson's Harley-Davidson and having a meal together.

During an interview with E! News in mid-2015, Hutcherson spoke about his girlfriend for the first time. The two had already dated for about two years then, and the actor expressed that their relationship was going "pretty good."

He also said they found the distance hard but "make it work." Traisac was just as excited about the relationship and gushed at the time, saying how happy she was and that it was going "really great."

Hutcherson spoke to Glamour in October 2013, revealing his feelings about dating co-stars. The Oscar winner said it was "a very natural thing to have happen" as both people are actors and "understand each other's lifestyle."

The couple doesn't usually share many posts on their social media. The first and only picture Hutcherson posted of Traisac was in September 2017. His girlfriend also shared a photo of him a few months later, in December of that same year. They were seen in public together in April 2018 after being spotted walking in LA and often comment on each other's posts.

Only years later, in June 2021, the couple was seen together again. They enjoyed quality time together by sea during a romantic getaway to Ibiza. The two were joined by their friends on vacation, spent time on a luxurious yacht, and swam in the ocean.

They enjoyed their time in the sun and displayed a lot of PDAs. Josh Hutcherson's girlfriend stepped out in a black one-piece costume with polka dots, and Hutcherson wore black swim shorts. Their most recent outing was in early February 2022. The pair were out in Los Angeles and picked up some iced drinks and were also seen kissing.

What Has Josh Hutcherson Said about His Sexuality?

In October 2013, Josh Hutcherson spoke about his sexuality during an interview with Out magazine. He opened up that he defined himself as "mostly straight." Hutcherson went on to detail that he was "100% straight."

But he wasn't sure if that would change in about a year or so and if he would be attracted to a guy. Hutcherson revealed that he had met guys who he thought were good-looking but never wanted to kiss them.

According to Hutcherson, he "really" loves women, but defining oneself as "100% anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded." He has a skepticism of labels when it comes to sexuality and doesn't understand why gay people are judged.

Hutcherson has since co-founded an organization for youth called Straight But Not Narrow, which aims to help kids have the confidence and tools to speak out against homophobia. He expressed how "frustrating" it is for him how people "are not OK with it."

In late 2013, he also spoke to the publication about his male crushes. Sam Claflin is at the top of his list, followed by Hollywood heartthrob Liam Hemsworth. Next is "Drive" star Ryan Gosling and the legend Lenny Kravitz.

Another one of Hutcherson's romances was with actress Victoria Justice. They reportedly started dating in 2008 and were seen together on numerous occasions at different red carpet events. About a year later, they were rumored to have split but seemed on good terms when they appeared at the GLAAD Media Awards in 2017.
