Does Justine Lupe Have a Husband or Boyfriend? The 'Succession' Actress Recently Spoke about Her Dating Life

Actress Justine Lupe doesn't have a husband and is not believed to be dating anyone. She has referred to her relationships in the media in the past but she generally keeps her love life under wraps.

Lupe rose to prominence after portraying Maddie Culpepper in "Cristela" in 2014. Soon after, she was cast in more significant roles in television series such as "Mr. Mercedes" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," both in 2017. The actress has been in several films and series but is perhaps most famous for "Succession."

With her professional life experiencing steady growth through the years, she has been cast further into the spotlight, and interest in her private life has increased. Lupe doesn't share much about her personal life but has mentioned her dating life in mainstream and social media, albeit without going into specifics.

Justine Lupe Reportedly Dated Producer Germain Gulick

Lupe's relationship with Germain Gulick was a case of fan speculation as neither of them directly confirmed being together. Still, the rumors were based on solid hints from the pair's social media.

At the start of 2021, Gulick shared a photo of them kissing on his Instagram with a caption, "Happy belated to my [heart emoji.] You are the warmest nook." On her part, Lupe reportedly shared a photo of her dog and wrote, "One long year since we adopted this Lil Champ." Unfortunately, the posts have already been deleted, perhaps a sign of love lost.

Little is known about Gulick outside his professional career. According to his LinkedIn account, he studied at Montana State University - Bozeman. He graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Film, Cinema, and Video Studies from the prestigious New York University in 2013. He has a wealth of experience in video production and writing.

Like Lupe, Gulick also works in Hollywood. The multi-talented Gulick is credited with playing various behind-the-camera roles in the film and television industries. He has worked as an assistant director and cinematographer in short films and his most telling contribution is producing the 2008 sports documentary, "Warriors of Liberty."

Justine Lupe Recently Opened Up about Her Dating Life

After the deletion of the posts from their social media, speculation about their relationship ended. Lupe has not shared anything suggesting that she is in a romantic relationship and primarily uses her Instagram for work-related purposes.

Speaking to the Independent in March 2023, the "Cristela" actress gave a brief insight into her dating life, saying that the women she worked with in "Succession" had helped her through "some really huge transitions." Those phases included her mother's health issues and the ending of a serious relationship. She added:

"Walking into dating at 33 is a very different thing to dating at 27. It's a different set of thoughts completely. The way that you handle the world, the way you think about what you want and what you care about – it all changed so vastly during that time."

Justine Had a Crush on Her 'Succession' Co-star When She Was a Teenager

Of all the men she has loved, perhaps her greatest love was Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a character in the famous 2005 romantic drama "Pride and Prejudice," starring Keira Knightley and Donald Sutherland. British actor Matthew Macfadyen portrayed Darcy and quickly became a crush for many girls and women.

During the interview with the Independent, Lupe reportedly blushed at the mention of Macfadyen. She recalled when she watched the film and fell in love with him. A then-17-year-old Lupe went to the movies with her mother, and after being exhilarated by Macfadyen's performance, instantly developed a crush on him.

Upon leaving the cinema, Lupe confessed that Macfadyen's character enthralled her so much that she changed her boyfriend's name in her phone contacts to Mr. Darcy.

Over a decade later, the actress met her childhood crush in person while working together on the set of "Succession." The overjoyed Lupe admitted that she told him that she had been "in love with him as Mr. Darcy."
