'Emily in Paris' Actor Passed Away at 69 Following ALS Diagnosis – Who Was He?
May 28, 2026

French heartthrob César Domboy is best known to fans of the Starz historical drama "Outlander" as Fergus Claudel Fraser, a man who risks everything for his beloved wife. César Domboy's real-life dating history is less clear.
In "Outlander," César Domboy's character Fergus Claudel Fraser is a man tormented by his past of poverty and abuse, who finds love and healing in the arms of Marsali MacKimmie.
The French actor has always kept his love life quiet, but he has been linked to a high-profile social media influencer, and fans are eager to see him in a relationship with his "Outlander" co-star.

César Domboy has become an household name after being cast as Fergus Claudel Fraser in the series "Outlander" with Caitríona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Richard Rankin, Duncan Lacroix, and Graham McTavish.
Domboy's fictional romance with actress Lauren Lyle is so tender and heartfelt that fans of the series have become convinced that the actor is drawing on his own experience.
César Domboy was born in France on March 10, 1990 and his first role was at 14 in the film "La Confiance Règne" opposite Vincent Lindon.
Over the next nine years, he garnered an impressive resumé on French TV and movies, and in 2013, he was cast as Guy de Leval in the "The Borgias."
Domboy and Nikolic shared several photos of themselves together in what appeared to be a romantic getaway in Paris, France between December 2019 and January 2020.
His breakthrough role into international fame was in Robert Zemeckis’ "The Walk," a film based on the true story of a French high-wire artist who walks between the Twin Towers in 1972. He has a following of over 300,000 devoted fans on Instagram.

Domboy's sizzling chemistry with the actress who plays his love interest and eventually his wife on "Outlander" has some wondering if that attraction continues after the cameras stop rolling.
Domboy and Lauren Lyle seem to spend a lot of time together and often share photos of each other on their social media accounts. Lyle revealed while they were filming in Scotland:
“We hang out together. We do a little walking. A little walk to the Botanicals in Glasgow if we’re filming in Glasgow.”
Lyle and Domboy refer to each other as "bff" and enjoy hanging out together, on and off the set of the series. They have revealed they have enormous respect for each other's acting ability.
Even though they convincingly portray a couple in love on screen, Domboy and Lyle are definetly not in a romantic relationship. They just are good friends, to the disappointment of their fans.
The woman that Domboy did date is Instagram influencer Gala Nikolic. The couple were Instagram official and shared posts dedicated to each other, like Nikolic's on Domboy's birthday, which she captioned:
"Happy birthday to my whole heart!"
Domboy and Nikolic shared several photos of themselves together in what appeared to be a romantic getaway in Paris, France between December 2019 and January 2020.
It seemed as if the actor and the influencer were living a heady romance in the City of Lights over the festive season, but since then, there were no further posts and the relationship seems to have fizzled out.
César Domboy is now single, still looking for that one person who will sweep him off his feet, just like Fergus fell head-over-heels for Marsali in "Outlander."
