Since making a name for himself as an actor, John Boyega's dating life has piqued fans' interest. While he is yet to tie the knot, the actor joked that his Nigerian charm worked with women and that he had many wives when he was younger.

However, since reaching 30, the "Woman King" star's priorities have changed, including finding love and settling down. And not only is John Boyega "very disciplined" with the type of women he associates with, but the actor also shared that his parents' long-standing marriage inspires his relationship goals.

While John Boyega Does Not Have a Wife, He Opened Up about His Dating Preferences

In 2022, after turning 30, Boyega revealed that he had entered a chapter where he was ready to settle down, prioritize his career, and find love. When the actor was younger, he focused on getting himself together, learning to move with honesty and transparency, and devoting himself to anything he committed.

He had spent years focusing on his career, which has seen him land roles in hit films and share the screen with Hollywood stars such as Viola Davis, Jamie Foxx, and Scott Eastwood. However, the actor said:

"That's changed. I'm 30 now."

Open to settling down, Boyega shared that his dating preferences were limited. "I only date Black," he said. On top of that, the actor looked for someone whose chemistry, personality, and goals aligned with his.

"Is there a synergy? Can I help you? Can you help me? I'm very disciplined in the type of women I speak to. They don't want you in their business," Boyega shared.

During an interview, Boyega acknowledged that finding a wife and starting a family was "the ultimate PR package" for someone living a life in the public eye.

However, not only does the actor have strict rules about the women he dates, but he also looks to his parents' — Samson and Abigail — marriage as a muse for the kind of relationship he wants. Boyega said:

"But my parents have been together for 35 years. There's nothing that this world can do in terms of pressure to make me be inspired by anything else but my parents."

In 2018, Boyega and "Black Panther" — co-starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, and Lupita Nyong'o — star Letitia Wright faced romance speculation as fans took to Twitter to gush about her being his rumored girlfriend.

One fan tweeted, "Are Letitia Wright and John Boyega dating??????? When black panther and Star Wars crosssssss #what," and another shared, "Wait, are John Boyega and Letitia Wright dating and I didn't know?! #MetGala."

However, in 2020, Boyega put all romance rumors between him and Wright to rest when he revealed that the two actors had been good friends for a decade after growing up in England and attending London's Identity School of Acting together.

"Classes weren't enough time with each other. I remember speaking at McDonald's about a lot of things. It was like a motivational session after each class," Boyega said.
