Are Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo Dating? All About the Actors’ New Romance

Lucas Bravo is feeling good about his new relationship with Shailene Woodley.

The Divergent actress and the Emily in Paris star have been romantically linked since early 2025, after being spotted holding hands in Paris two days in a row.

During an October 2020 conversation with Elle Australia, Bravo opened up about what attracts him to a potential partner, explaining that while he doesn’t have a “type,” he values “instant connection.”

“Sometimes, you just run into someone, you look at this person in the eyes, and in an instant, in a second, so much is said,” he said. “There’s an entire conversation going through each other’s eyes in an instant, and you feel like you’ve known the person, or the person knows you — it’s the connection I’m looking for.”

“In order to find that, I guess you need to be willing to tear down the masks and armours and be vulnerable,” Bravo added.

From when they were first spotted to what they’ve said about their romance, here’s everything to know about Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo’s relationship.

They’ve been romantically linked since March 2025

Woodley and Bravo first sparked romance rumors in March 2025, when they were spotted holding hands, sharing a hug and draping their arms around one another during a stroll in Paris. Bravo sported a brown puffer jacket and a beanie, while Woodley wore a black trench coat and baggy gray slacks.

The pair were spotted again on a PDA-packed outing in the City of Lights just one day later, and both wore a similar casual warm attire as the previous day.

Their affectionate outings came seven months after Woodley was seen on a date with a mystery man in New York City.

Bravo is “really happy” amid their new romance

On April 3, Bravo gave PEOPLE a glimpse into his new romance while at the opening night of Broadway’s Good Night, and Good Luck, saying, “Yeah, I’m really happy.”

While he is feeling good about his budding relationship, the Ticket to Paradise actor previously opened up to Glamour about his biggest relationship deal-breakers.

“I really don’t like when the person runs away,” he told the outlet in October 2020. “I like communication. It’s the basis of everything.”

Bravo spent most of his 20s “prioritizing relationships”

During an October 2024 appearance on Podcrushed, Bravo reflected on spending much of his life until his late twenties “prioritizing relationships” — and explained why he is “fascinated” by love.

“Early on I discovered that it was the fastest way to grow up. It was the fastest way to accept some of the things you thought were issues, physically wise or mentally wise,” he said. “To be able to be fully yourself in the presence of someone else, and to see that you’re not a monster or you’re not weird, it’s mind-opening, it’s crazy.”

“This was the only thing I was interested in,” Bravo added. “I didn’t see why I should spend any time on anything else than finding the most intense form of love possible.”

On the flip side, Bravo said that “losing someone” makes you “grow up 10 times faster.”

Woodley was previously engaged to Aaron Rodgers

The Fault in Our Stars actress was previously in a relationship with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The pair got engaged in 2021 and called it quits the following year. During a December 2024 conversation with Outside magazine, Woodley shared that talking about her relationship with Rodgers made her emotional.

“I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry,” she said. “It was not right. But it was beautiful.”

Woodley has frequently opened up about wanting to be a mom

Although the Big Little Lies star has largely kept her romantic life private, Woodley has spoken frequently about her desire to become a mom, which she told Outside magazine was one of her “biggest dreams.”

In June 2024, Woodley, who is an outspoken advocate for the environment, spoke to PEOPLE about why she wanted to help clean the planet before welcoming a child into the world.

“I want to be a mom and I’m not going to give this world to a child and go, ‘Oops, sorry, we messed it up for you. Have fun for as many years as you get to be here,’ ” she said. “That’s just so not on my agenda.”
