Here’s what we know about Lily Colins and her dating history.

She’s a marketing genius, an au naturel influencer who gains gazillions of Instagram followers by just posting random looney photos, she devours croissants and she’s living the IT girl life as an American in a pool of Parisians and most importantly, piquing the fancy of hot French men – Oui, we’re talking about Emily. Lily Collins has stirred up quite some drama in Netflix’s Emily in Paris, entangled in a love triangle in the world’s most romantic city with two handsome guys. While Collins’ on-screen love affairs might be in shambles, things are the opposite in real life as the actress is happily married to director Charlie McDowell. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t had a series of spicy relationships before. Let’s take you through the dating history and relationships of Lily Collins, from Zac Efron to Chris Evans.

When not navigating complicated relationships with Gabriel and Aflie on-screen, Lily Collins is enjoying a smooth-sailing relationship with Charlie McDowell, whom she married in 2021. “It’s so nice to be able to finally say that I’m a wife, (but) sometimes it makes me feel very old, “Lily told Nylon in an earlier interview. In another conversation, the Love, Rosie star further gushed about her beau, calling him a ‘wonderful and supportive’ partner.

Before her relationship with McDowell though, Collins has been mired in many dating reports and internet gossip with some famous A-listers like the Twilight star Taylor Lautner, Marvel superhero Chris Evans to even Stranger Things’ lead antagonist Vecna aka Jamie Campbell Bower. So, let’s dive straight into her past romances:

Who is Lily Collins married to?

Lily Collins is married to director Charlie McDowell, who she reportedly met on the sets of Gilded Rage which was led by the filmmaker and starred the actress. The duo stirred romance rumours with paparazzi sightings in LA in 2019. The rumours soon received the stamp of confirmation in 2020, when Lily announced her engagement via an Instagram post encapsulating Dowell’s romantic proposal and gorgeous ring.

The engagement materialised into marriage a year later, as the two exchanged vows in a 2021 ceremony in Colorado. They’ve been going strong since (at least Lily’s Instagram establishes so).

Sorry guys, she’s off the market for good.

Lily Collins’ dating history: The Emily In Paris star’s past relationships

Lily Collins and Taylor Lautner (2010)

Circling back to the start, Lily’s first-ever high-profile romance was with the Twilight werewolf Taylor Lautner. According to Us Weekly, the duo came together while filming Abduction in 2010, with Lautner revealing how they hit it off right away. The whirlwind romance came to an end one week before the action film’s red-carpet premiere and after-party in September that year. A source told the publication that, “It was a clean break that Taylor initiated.”

Lily Collins and Zac Efron (2012)

The High School Musical and Baywatch hottie dated Lily Collins in what’s reported to be a ‘casual fling’, in 2012. Us Weekly reported that they dated briefly for about three months, with sources mentioning, “They were never serious, though; it was just a casual thing, and it fizzled.” Another source mentioned how Zac wasn’t serious about Lily and never spoke about her to friends. Adding to this was their conflicting schedules, which made things go further downhill.

The duo continues to be on friendly terms though, even starring together in the 2019 project Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower (2012 and 2015)

While Stranger Things’ Vecna is all things dreadful on-screen, the actor portraying him, Jamie Campbell Bower, is a fine-looking man. Campbell and Collins sparked romance rumours on the sets of the 2012 project The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Their topsy-turvy romance finally reached its end in 2013. However, this was just the end of the first innings. The duo got back together in 2015, only to call it off again in a year.

Lily Collins and Thomas Cocquerel (2014)

If you’re wondering what Lily was doing during her relationship hiatus with Jamie Campbell Bower, she was seeing the gorgeous Australian actor, Thomas Cocquerel. According to Us Weekly, the duo was introduced by a mutual friend. There aren’t many publically known details about this low-key romance, whose ending was followed by Lily’s reconciliation with Bower.

Lily Collins and Chris Evans (2015)

Collins also dated the hunky Captain America aka Chris Evans. You know what’s interesting here? While Collins was rumoured to be dating Evans, her Emily In Paris love interest Gabriel aka Lucas Bravo, was rumoured to be dating Evan’s now wife Alba Baptista. Well, it’s a small world!

Coming back to Collins and Evans’ relationship, the two met at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2015 following which they went on plenty of mushy dates. However, this romance too fizzled out in less than a year.

Lily Collins and Nick Jonas (2016)

Finally, rounding up the dating history of Lily Collins is her romance with Nick Jonas. Priyanka Chopra’s now-husband and Lily went on multiple dates, including a night out at a bowling alley. A source told Us Weekly that while Nick ‘really likes’ Lily, they’re in a casual fling. “Nick’s single and having fun,” the source said and added that they were not exclusive. Things didn’t work out between them and within months, Jonas met his now-wife Priyanka Chopra.

So, that’s all for the dating history and relationships of Lily Collins.
