You know Haley Lu Richardson best from projects like The Edge of Seventeen, Split, Five Feet Apart, and the acclaimed second season of The White Lotus. Next, she’ll star in Netflix’s romantic film Love at First Sight, based on the bestselling novel by Jennifer E. Smith.

In Love at First Sight, Richardson plays Hadley, an American twentysomething on her way to London to watch her father get married for the second time. During the flight overseas, Hadley meets a charming British statistics major named Oliver (Ben Hardy).

The two share an instant connection and treat the flight like one very long first date. Trouble strikes when they land at the Heathrow Airport and get separated at customs before managing to exchange numbers. Will fate help them cross paths a second time?

Richardson seems like a total sweetheart and she’s clearly very talented, even winning a SAG Award along the rest of her cast for their excellent work in The White Lotus season 2. Starring in many teen movies and shows has helped her earn a massive fanbase (she has more than 2 million followers on Instagram!).

The 28-year-old likes to keep her private life private, but she was publicly linked to Canadian actor Brett Dier of Jane the Virgin fame. Are they still together?

No, Richardson and Dier actually split over two years ago, but the couple chose to keep the news of their break-up private until November 2022 when Richardson told her fans they were no longer together in an Instagram post.

“We shared a deeply special chunk of our lives together. I’m so glad to have had the last couple years to heal and grow without the internet knowing but we kinda just wanted to share it and move on now,” wrote the actress.

This past May, the gossip site DeuxMoi claimed that Richardson was dating Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story star Evan Peters, but that was never confirmed. DeuxMoi said the two were spotted flirting in public, though she also wrote that their relationship had “cooled off” because Peters was traveling to film. It sounds like, if they were together, it might have just been a short-lived fling.

For now, it sounds like Richardson is likely single and, based on her social media, she seems to be enjoying her independence!

Dont forget to support the actress this weekend by watching her new movie Love at First Sight, streaming now on Netflix.
