Elle Fanning made her acting debut as the younger version of her sister Dakota Fanning’s role in I Am Sam at the age of 18 months. She has now risen to Hollywood stardom and become a celebrity in her own right. She has won the hearts of the audience in recent years with prominent roles in Teen Spirit, The Roads Not Taken, and Netflix’s All The Bright Places. Naturally, popularity breeds interest, and people want to know, “Who is Elle Fanning dating?”
For those who are unaware, Fanning has been in a relationship with The Handmaid’s Tale actor Max Minghella since 2018. According to Elle, they were originally connected after being seen holding hands in Florence, Italy, in July of that year. The actress was 20 at the time, and her lover was 32. Minghella and Minghella met while working on Teen Spirit, which he wrote and directed. It was Minghella’s first time directing a film. Violet, an aspiring singer from a troubled family who competes in a reality TV singing competition, is played by the actress in the film.
Max Minghella is dating Elle Fanning.
Both Fanning and Minghella keep their connection quiet. They didn’t even confirm whether they were dating or not in the early stages of their relationship. However, because they were observed on dates, it became hard to refute. A month later, in August 2018, they were sighted on a date in London after being seen in Italy.
A person who saw the pair at the time told Us Weekly that the couple “seemed so calm and comfortable.” “They were extremely low-key and cuddly with one other, looking over for each other and gently speaking to each other while they were together looking at items,” the person claimed. Despite the dating rumors, the pair never addressed or acknowledged their relationship until May 2019, when they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the annual Met Gala.
Elle Discussing Her Relationship
During Teen Spirit’s Los Angeles press day that year, Entertainment Tonight’s Katie Krause asked her about her dating life. The actress kept her romance a secret and instead spoke about her time working with Minghella. “I mean, we just have a lot of fun working together.” “That was incredibly meaningful, and he’s such a close buddy,” Fanning remarked. She went on to say that he was such an amazing filmmaker that Teen Spirit didn’t feel like it was his directing debut.
The actress added that her partner enjoyed pop music and that the film he created was ideal. Minghella, too, remained tight-lipped about their connection, but he couldn’t stop complimenting Fanning. Fanning was the only one who could pull off the film, which he regarded as tough. “You must sing, dance, speak Polish effectively, do a British accent, reflect the age range, and lead the picture,” the director said.
Even after years together, the couple want to keep their relationship private.
