Luke Evans' Partner: The Actor's Romance with Fran Tomas and His past Flames

"Nine Perfect Strangers" actor Luke Evans has dated many men but never found love. He is now in a romance with Fran Tomas, a talented Spanish graphic designer.

Dashing British actor and singer Luke Evans is known for his tough-guy roles in action films like "Clash of the Titans," "Fast & Furious 6," "The Hobbit" trilogy, and "Dracula Untold."

He has a very British penchant for keeping his personal life private, and fans are eager to know more about Luke Evans' dating history. The actor has been discreet, but he showed up on the "Pinocchio" red carpet in 2022 with a plus-one, and everyone is curious about Luke Evans' partner.

Luke Evans' career started on stage in London's West End musicals, where he starred in "Tabboo," "Piaf," "Rent," and "Miss Saigon." Then in 2008, he starred in Peter Gill's play "Small Change," and the world discovered that apart from his superb voice, Evans could act.

Hollywood took notice, and in 2010, Evans made four films, including his breakthrough movie "Clash of the Titans," in which he played the Greek god Apollo. Evans started landing tough-guy roles in action movies like the "Fast & Furious" franchise with Vin Diesel.

Despite his critics' accusations of hiding that he is gay, Evans had been in several openly romantic relationships with men.

Born on April 15, 1979, in Pontypool, Wales, Evans became a film actor at the age of 30, long after he'd come to terms with his sexuality, with himself, and with the world. However, the move to film and Hollywood affected how the previously openly gay actor presented himself.

Fans Were Shocked to Discover That Luke Evans Was Gay, Though He Never Hid His Sexuality

Even though Evans had never hidden his homosexuality, some fans were surprised to discover he was gay. In Los Angeles, his publicists didn't say he wasn't gay; they didn't say anything at all. They avoided the question of Evans' sexuality altogether.

The actor was criticized and accused of sacrificing his truth to further his career in an industry that tends to typecast openly gay actors. Evans denied being in the closet at all and commented:

"It may have looked like I wasn't the proud gay man that folks were expecting me to be. But you know, to me, I was just trying to be myself... to cut my own path. Cutting my own path means not walking in someone else's."

In 2020, Evans was named Attitude's Man of the Year and spoke openly about being homosexual and playing roles that do not conform to his sexual identity. He pointed out that sexuality does not affect ability or talent and should not limit a person's achievements.

Luke Evans' Past Relationships

Despite his critics' accusations of hiding that he is gay, Evans had been in several openly romantic relationships with men. In 2019, he was in a relationship with Argentinian-born Rafael Olarra, the art director for a chain of luxury hotels based in Miami.

The two were Instagram-official and dated for 18 months, but it became clear that the relationship ended when they unfollowed each other on social media in 2021. Before Olarra, Evans dated actor Victor Turpin.

Turpin is a Columbian actor and worked with Evans on Netflix's "Murder Mystery." He is best known for his role in "Shades of Blue," in which he co-starred with Jennifer Lopez. But despite effusive messages by Turpin on Instagram, the relationship fizzled out.

From 2014 to 2016, Evans dated international model Jon Kortajarena, best known for lending his face to ad campaigns for high-end brands like Versace, Giorgio Armani, Bally, Lagerfeld, and Tom Ford. There were rumors that the two were getting back together in 2017, but the romance was over.

Luke Evans Found Love Again with a Graphic Designer from Spain

In September 2022, Evans showed up at the world premiere of Disney's "Pinocchio" in Burbank, California, with handsome Spanish graphic designer Fran Tomas. Tomas and Evans started dating shortly after the actor broke up with Rafael Olarra​​​​.

Evans and Tomas were spotted vacationing in Ibiza in August 2022, and the relationship has gone from strength to strength. The actor has revealed that he wants to be a father, and the Spanish designer may be the man with whom he settles down.
