Haley Lu Richardson's Boyfriend: The Actress Was Recently Linked to Evan Peters

Haley Lu Richardson has been a welcome fixture in the film industry in the past several years, and as anyone in the spotlight would admit, her love life has been of utmost interest to fans. Even as she takes on significant projects, the questions remain: Is she dating? And if she is, who is her boyfriend?

Haley Lu Richardson loved to dance long before she became a household name in Hollywood. Her love for art pushed her to move to Los Angeles at only 16, and from there, she danced her way into the film industry.

She became famous after appearing as Kendal in the 2014 "The Last Survivors" and Leslie Mallard in "The Young Kieslowski." She has also appeared in "Support the Girls" alongside Regina Hall.

Acting aside, the actress has also had an interesting personal life that involved a long-distance relationship, an engagement, and a secret split.

Haley Lu Richardson Got Engaged to Brett Dier in 2018, but They Secretly Split Two Years Later

In 2019, Richardson opened up about her longtime beau, "Jane the Virgin" actor Brett Dier, disclosing that, at the time, they had been together for seven years.

The lovebirds had gotten engaged the previous year, with Richardson confessing her love for the actor — who played Michael Cordero Jr. in "Jane the Virgin," alongside Jenna Ortega and Brooke Shields — and expressing her desire for them to get married one day.

Like Richardson, who has gained immense fame in the past several years, Dier has also risen to fame with his appearances in the acclaimed Canadian series "Bomb Girls" and "Ravenswood."

His latest projects include "The New Romantic" and playing the supporting lead in "About My Father" alongside Robert de Niro. The actor also recently finished filming "Good Bad Things," to be released toward the end of 2023.

Dier and Richardson's relationship may be one of many in Hollywood, but it is unique because it was Richardson who proposed to Dier.

They had been eating pizza at an outdoor strip mall, and she had not prepared to propose. However, in the spur of the moment, she asked Dier to marry her. And the best part? He said yes.

Since it was spontaneous, they did not have rings and had to get some twigs from the bush. Richardson recalls them taking turns kneeling down and tying the twigs around each other's ring fingers.

Unfortunately, the engagement was short-lived, and the pair split in 2020, albeit privately. In November 2022, the actress shared that they had kept their split low-key to allow them to heal in private.

Despite the relationship not working out, they remain friends and have each other's photos on their social media pages.

Haley Lu Richardson Was Recently Linked to Evan Peters

Recently, Richardson was spotted with "American Horror Story" actor Evan Peters at the SAG Awards afterparty. Shortly after, the gossip account Deuxmoi posted a message from an informant claiming that the actors were spotted being affectionate in public at Zebulon in Los Angeles.

Fans of the pair think the sighting was enough to deem them a couple and are excited about the possibility of them being together.

According to Peters, his ideal woman would be someone that is okay with him being imperfect and would give him a second chance to do or say the right thing. And while not all girls would do that, he has faith that some still would.

"But there are a lot of girls out there who do, and those are the ones — the only ones — I can really go for. I need a couple more chances than just the first one," he shared.

Haley Lu Richardson Had Amazing Onscreen Chemistry With Cole Sprouse

Despite the uncertainty about her real-life romance, the chemistry between Richardson and her onscreen boyfriend, Cole Sprouse, in "Five Feet Apart" was undeniable.

Their characters, Stella and Will, cannot be within six feet of each other, or they would risk death due to their medical conditions. Yet, despite the circumstances, they have a relationship that fans have praised.

Richardson opened up about working with Sprouse, saying she liked him because he cared about what he was doing. "Whether he's acting or taking pictures like he's a really artistic guy, and he cares a lot. He really is a thoughtful person and a caring actor," she gushed.
