YOU: Cast’s Real-Partners Revealed (*Shocking*)

Netflix’s YOU has had everybody completely gripped with over 43 million people tuning in
just to watch this psychological thriller. YOU shows the worst and most extreme forms of
love and dating or what some people would call obsession. It would be a relief to many fans
of the show to know that things are a lot less messed up when it comes to the cast’s real
love life. So, here are who the show’s cast are dating in real life as compiled by the Focus.
Penn Badgley (Joe Goldberg)
When it comes to Penn Badgley, it's quite a different story altogether as compared to his
character Joe. Badgley has had a pretty exciting love life with his partners off-screen and it
started when he dated Blake Lively back in 2007, who was his Gossip Girl co-star. It was
what every fan of the show wanted to hear at the time, that their favorite couple on screen
were also dating in real life. However, Penn Badgley and Blake Lively dated for 3 years
before they broke up, but they kept their break up under the wraps that most people did
not even know until some time after. Unlike Joe who kills whoever doesn’t conform to his
demands or wishes, Penn kept things civil and friendly after the break up. After Blake, Penn
moved on with Zoe Kravitz, another familiar face that is known in the Hollywood world.
They dated for two years from 2011 to 2013, then he started dating Domino Kirke around
2014 and the two got married in 2017. Penn keeps his marriage private and oh Domino has
a son called Cassius from her previous relationship and that makes Penn the step dad but
they have a very close bond.

Victoria Pedretti (Love Quinn)


As an aspiring chef working at a grocery store, what we didn’t know when we met Love is
that she is like the female version of Joe. Love meets Joe while shopping for her dinner and
plans to get to know him. Things don’t go smoothly because when Candace appears on the
scene Love becomes suspicious and begins to investigate. In the process, she discovers Joe’s
lock-up and instead of being horrified, she likes it. Well as for Victoria Pedretti, she first
came to our screens in 2018 when she played Eleanor ‘Nell’ Crain Vance. Eleanor was one of
the siblings in the Netflix horror series The Haunting of Hill House. Then she played Leslie
Van, a fictional version of the Manson Family member in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. In
real life, Victoria has so far managed to avoid any romantic links or speculation when it
comes to her love life. Even with her huge following, she has managed to keep her private
life under the radar. Although there was a tip featured on TikTok which hasn’t been said to
be true, that Victoria was dating a long-term boyfriend, Dylan Arnold, she attends events
either alone or with co-stars.
Tati Gabrielle

Tatiana Gabrielle Hobson is an American actress mostly known for her role as Gaia on the
CW science fiction television series The 100 and acts as Marienne Bellamy on Netflix’s
original series YOU. She is also one of the cast members of YOU who keeps their off-screen
life and partners very private. However, according to Celebs Couples, the gorgeous actress
has had at least one relationship in the past but the site does not delve much into too many
details about who she was linked to. The 25-year-old actress is possibly single and just like
many celebrities and actors in this day and age, she is keeping the details of her love life to
herself. After all, with her stunning look, beaming personality, and her incredible talent we
would find it pretty hard to believe that she’d struggle to get herself a partner...if she
wanted one that is.

Saffron Burrows
Saffron is an English actress and model who made her film debut in 1993 with a small role in
Jim Sheridan’s 'In The Name of the Father.' Born in a politically active family with socialist
parents, she was involved in many political activities in her childhood, including selling
Socialist Worker newsletters for pocket money and has even shared her home with striking
miners. When it comes to her love life, Saffron has gone through a journey of self discovery.
In the 1990s, she was engaged to actor Alan Cumming and later dated director Mike Figgis
for a few years before she came out as being bisexual. Saffron was romantically involved
with actress Fiona Shaw once and after becoming an American citizen, Saffron married her
love, writer Alison Balian in 2013. Saffron also has a son who was born in 2012, and a
daughter in 2017.
Travis Van
After the third season introduced us to some new faces, many have undoubtedly developed
a crush on new eye-candy castmate Travis Van Winkle. But is he single? We are actually not
100 percent sure if he is single because many sources suggest that he has been in a
relationship with a fellow actor and producer since 2016 while others claim that he is single.
However, after digging deeper in his social media profiles, we are actually inclined to believe
that Travis is indeed single. Travis is heavily active on social media and often posts updates
about his personal life and although he made things on Instagram official with the rumored
girlfriend in 2016, those posts have since been deleted. Well, it’s also possible that the actor
could be linked to someone at the moment but is choosing to keep things out of the
spotlight.
Shalita Grant
Shalita is an American actress best known for her role in NCIS: New Orleans as NCIS special
agent Sonja Percy. She is also well known for her roles in Mercy Street, Santa Clarita Diet,
Search Parties, and most recently as Sherry in Netflix’s YOU. About her dating life, Shalita
was formerly married to her ex-wife Sabrina Skau, a commercial director, in San Francisco.
Unfortunately, the pair divorced after some time and they have not disclosed the reason for
the separation. They however, began dating back in 2016 after they met on a dating app.
Currently, Shalita is in a relationship with her girlfriend, Jessica Aguilar, who is an MMA
fighter. The two met through a mutual friend when Grant was ready to date again. She is an
active user of Instagram and regularly posts her photos with Jessica.
Michaela McManus
Like most celebrities, Michaela tries to keep her personal and love life private. Born on May
20th 1983, Michaela has 30 acting credits to her name and is most famously known for
portraying Lindsay Strauss on One Tree Hill. According to multiple sources, the YOU actress
is currently married to TV producer Mike Daniels. Although we are not 100 percent sure as
to when the pair began their romance, it is rumored that they tied the knot on June 3, 2011,
and welcomed their first child together on April 3, 2014. The couple have three children
together namely, Gabriel October Daniels, Declan Daniels, and their daughter, Indigo Irene.

Scott Speedman
Apart from YOU, Scott Speedman is a British-Canadian actor who played Barry Baz Blackwell
in the TNT crime drama series Animal Kingdom. Scott has been dating his girlfriend Lindsay
Rae Hofmann since 2016. As their wholesome relationship radiating on Instagram was not
enough, Scott has even more love in his life after welcoming his first child, a daughter
named Lucia Speedman. In an Instagram post he announced his daughter’s arrival with two
photos of himself with the newborn. One picture showed Scott lying face to face with little
Lucia in bed, and he was shown cradling the infant in his arm in another
shot. https://www.instagram.com/p/CV3urIHvM4g/
Dylan Arnold
The love triangle Dylan’s character in YOU, is wrapped up in the show sounds beyond messy
and potentially tragic that even his real-life relationship has come into question, with
rumors linking him to co-star Victoria Pedretti. If you take a scroll through his Instagram
handle, you’ll find that Dylan enjoys spending time in nature, socializing with friends,
posting sweet throwbacks, and occasionally showing off some of the artworks he finds more
intriguing. However, there aren’t any pictures, highlight reels, or videos posted to show off a
partner. It is possible that he is single at the moment or he just keeps his relationship
matters under wraps.

Mackenzie Astin
Mackenzie is an American actor who is best known for his role as Andy Moffet in the sitcom,
The Facts of Life, from 1985 to 1988. He won Camie Award for ‘Love’s Enduring Promise’ in
2005, won OFTA Television Award in the category Best Actor in a Drama series for Lost in
2005, and a Young Artist Award for Best Young Supporting Actor in a Television series for
‘The Facts of Life.’ Mackenzie lives a quiet life and has not been involved in any type of
rumors or controversies in his career up to this time. He has been married to Jennifer Bautz
since April 11, 2011 and the couple has not welcomed any children yet, but they spend their
quality time with each other.
Elizabeth Lail
Guinevere Beck was probably one of the most likeable characters in the show because of
her good heart. She appears throughout the first season where she meets Joe and they fall
in love in an instant. Beck has a rocky relationship going on with a guy named Benji and gets
upset when Benji disappears but in actual sense it is Joe who has killed him. After officially
becoming an item, Joe’s clingy and jealous behaviour pushes Beck away and Beck decides to
end the relationship. Beck then gets jealous of Joe’s new relationship with Karen and
decides to get back with him. When she discovers Joe’s box of souvenirs hidden in his
bathroom ceiling, including a jar of Benji’s teeth, Joe locks her into the glass cage, and ends
up strangling her to death. Elizabeth Lail, who stars as Beck, is also known for her starring
roles as Amy Hughesin the horror series Dead of Summer. She has only had one previous
relationship with the Australian model and actor Julian Haig. The two started dating in 2015
and spent 3 years together. They went on various trips together including to Disney world,
but in 2017 they split up. Elizabeth has not been in any relationship since and she just
focuses on work rather than her love life.
Ambyr Childers

Candace was one of the characters that viewers grew to dislike because she was intent on
getting revenge but who can blame her really? She was buried alive after all. She is plagued
first by Joe then by Love and when we first hear of her, it is through flashbacks in season 1.
When she comes back in the second season, we discover that she cheated on Joe and then
left him. Joe kidnapped her and when Candace tried to run, she was knocked out and buried
in a shallow grave by Joe who believed that she was dead. As for Ambyr, who plays Candace
in the show, she has had a very successful career and she’s probably well known in the film
The Master. She also co-creates jewellery for her line called Ambyr Childers Jewellery. In
2009, she married film producer Randall Emmett, and in 2010 they had a daughter called
Ryee Emmet and another one later on called London. Sadly, the marriage ended in 2015
when they filed for a divorce which was a very messy one. She later found love with Jeff
Tinsley and the pair got engaged in January 2018. Jeff has 3 children from his previous
relationships whom Ambyr has welcomed into her life with open arms.
Carmela Zumbado
Although Delilah Alves was not a huge character in YOU, she made quite an impression as an
independent woman who stood up for herself and her sister and fans loved her. This might
be the reason many fans took to her because she stood up for what she thought was right.
Unfortunately, she ended up being locked in Joe’s glass cage and got murdered in season 2.
So disappointing that we weren’t going to see more of her. She was a charming journalist
who had worked really hard to get to where she was and raised her younger sister who she
was really protective of. Carmela Zumbado who played the role is fairly recent to the
limelight and her breakout role was in YOU. She started acting in 2012 and when she was
cast in Netflix’s YOU series, she was over the moon and took to Netflix to express her joy
and gratitude. Because she is less known than most of her fellow cast members, little is
known about her private life but soon we will find out more about her so stay tuned.
Don’t you just love the contrasts of the cast members to their love life in real life? We would
