Antony Starr Dated Costume Designer ​​Lucy McLay

They also worked together on three projects, including "Outrageous Fortune," "Without a Paddle," and "Mercy Peak." However, it is not known if they are still a couple.

The actor enjoys keeping his personal life away from the press and rarely posts information about himself on social media. Because of the limited access to his life behind the scenes, it's hard to say if he is single or taken.

In 2022, Starr pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in Spain, where he was filming a movie. The legal consequences he faced included a 12-month suspended sentence and a fine of $5,500.

However, fans believe that Starr is dating his co-star, Erin Moriarty. The news came after an unverified celebrity gossip account received emails about the duo's love life.

Starr and Moriarty play enemies in "The Boys," but things are the opposite when cameras stop rolling. The actors share a close relationship and enjoy each other's company outside of work, such as in restaurants, bars, and Comic-Con panels. They also appear on each other's social media accounts.

The actress even referred to Starr as her "off-screen BFF" in an Instagram post. According to Moriarty, she and Starr are "[two] dork besties" who also share close bonds with other cast members, such as Chase Crawford and Jack Quaid.

Erin Moriarty Defended Antony Starr after He Was Arrested for Assault

Given their relationship, it was no surprise when Moriarty defended Starr following his arrest. In 2022, Starr pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in Spain, where he was filming a movie.

The legal consequences he faced included a 12-month suspended sentence and a fine of $5,500. Admittedly, he knew he had made a mistake and took accountability for his actions. Starr also addressed questions about the assault during interviews, knowing he had learned his lesson.

Despite the incident, Moriarty feels safe and comfortable around Starr and won't have second thoughts about working with him again. She said:

"I think he's a wonderful dude that got caught up in a moment and is implementing the lessons appropriately. It's not impacting my perception of him at all, as an actor and as a human."

Like Starr, Erin Moriarty keeps her personal life, including her dating history, away from prying eyes. The actress, known for her roles in "Captain Fantastic," "The Miracle Seasons," and "Jessica Jones," never confirmed or denied any dating rumors involving her.

However, her character in "The Boys" was linked to Hugh "Hughie" Campbell Jr. (Quaid) and Supersonic (Miles Gaston Villanueva). Given she and Starr don't share personal details of their lives, fans may never know if they are a couple.
