When it comes to relationships, he’s been linked to several high-profile names over the years. He was in a long-term relationship with Zoey Deutch from 2011 to 2016, which drew attention from fans and media alike. Then, in 2017, he began dating Cleopatra Coleman, sharing a quieter chapter of his love life. Fast forward to September 2023, when news broke that he had started a new romance—with singer Halsey. The couple quickly captured public interest, and by September 2024, they joyfully announced their engagement, sparking excitement among fans who’ve followed his journey for years. Through every phase, he’s remained a compelling figure—not just on screen, but in life.
He landed his first major television role, appearing in three episodes of The CW’s Aliens in America—a moment that really put him on the map. It was a solid early break for him, showcasing his talent and setting the stage for what was to come. That role, though brief, gave him the kind of exposure that helped build momentum in his career. For him, it was more than just a few scenes; it was the start of something bigger. And looking back, it’s clear that this was one of those pivotal moments where everything began to shift in his favor.
