While many of you might be attracted to Gabriel’s low-key red flag energy in Emily in Paris (oh, his gorgeous face though), we’d still root for the green(est) flag on the show, Alfie aka Lucien Laviscount. His character is quite unlucky in love on the show (so far), thanks to Miss Cooper’s constant first-world dilemmas. But what’s his status IRL? Let’s take you through the dating history and relationships of Lucien Laviscount, from Shakira (yes, you read that right) to Keke Palmer and more.

While the Netflix show catapulted Laviscount to unparalleled stardom, the British heartthrob has been in the industry for over 15 years. After rising to prominence in 2007 with Grange Hill, he appeared in a number of shows like Coronation Street and Waterloo Road before hitting the popularity jackpot with Emily in Paris. Naturally, the actor had his share of linkups throughout his showbiz journey. Moreover, he recently starred in Shakira and Cardi B’s music video for Puntería, sparking dating rumours with the Colombian singer with supposed ‘dinner dates’.

One thing Lucien knows how to do best is to keep us all guessing. Here’s a full rundown of all his rumoured relationships so far.

Is Lucien Laviscount currently dating someone?

Since there’s no official confirmation about Lucien Laviscount’s relationship, one can hope he’s single. However, we don’t know for sure. Laviscount most recently gained attention for his rumoured relationship with Hips Don’t Lie hitmaker Shakira, after joining hands with her for a music video. Let’s dig into the juicy details of his romantic escapades.

A look at the dating history of Emily in Paris’ Lucien Laviscount

1. Lucien Laviscount and Shakira

Sparks flew when Shakira and Lucien collaborated on the music video for Puntería, featuring the pair in many steamy scenes which sparked curiosity among fans. The professional association soon turned personal when Laviscount attended Shakira’s surprise performance in Times Square, New York City, followed by a dinner outing at Carbone, as reported by TMZ.

According to the Daily Mail (via Marca), an insider revealed that the two were indeed dating as of June 2024, but the relationship wasn’t serious. The source noted that since Laviscount hasn’t dated anyone as famous as Shakira, he might be seeking to leverage her fame. The source said that Shakira’s friends are concerned since “Lucien has slowly crept his way up the celebrity ladder while dating women who were all less famous than Shakira.”

Is this relationship a real deal or a whirlwind romance? Well, let’s see.

2. Lucien Laviscount and Jesy Nelson

Former Little Mix members Jesy Nelson and Lucien Laviscount might’ve been a thing. In 2021, the duo was spotted stealing a kiss while enjoying dinner together in Soho and later riding around Central London in a rickshaw. According to reports, they ended the night at a club in Mayfair and the singer was mortified to witness their cosy snaps. However, sources later confirmed that they weren’t dating. So, what was all that mushy PDA about?

3. Lucien Laviscount and Kelly Osbourne

In 2019, Lucien was papped leaving an LA restaurant, holding hands with TV personality Kelly Osbourne. While these glimpses obviously gave rise to romance rumours, it reportedly lasted for a very short time.

4. Lucien Laviscount and Keke Palmer

The Emily in Paris star was caught in another high-profile celebrity dating rumour with actress Keke Palmer. The duo crossed paths on Scream Queens sets in 2015, turning their on-screen chemistry into a real-life romance. They didn’t shy away from going out on dates in LA and packing in some PDA. However, their romance reportedly fizzled out in a few months. As of 2024, Keke shares a child with former partner Darius Jackson.

5. Lucien Laviscount and Kerry Katona

This rumoured relationship dates back to 2011 when Lucien was only 19. The actor appeared on the reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother, indulging in a romance with the then 31-year-old Kerry Katona. They shared mushy moments throughout the show and continued this public relationship even after the show ended. The duo even went on to say that they hoped to be together forever during a shoot for OK! Magazine. No brownie points for guessing what happened later. The whirlwind romance came to an end a few months later.

That’s all for the dating history and relationships of Lucien Laviscount.
