Are Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo Dating? All About the Actors’ New Romance

Lucas Bravo is feeling good about his new relationship with Shailene Woodley.
The Divergent actress and the Emily in Paris star have been romantically linked since early 2025, after being spotted holding hands in Paris two days in a row.
During an October 2020 conversation with Elle Australia, Bravo opened up about what attracts him to a potential partner, explaining that while he doesn’t have a “type,” he values “instant connection.”
“Sometimes, you just run into someone, you look at this person in the eyes, and in an instant, in a second, so much is said,” he said. “There’s an entire conversation going through each other’s eyes in an instant, and you feel like you’ve known the person, or the person knows you — it’s the connection I’m looking for.”
“In order to find that, I guess you need to be willing to tear down the masks and armours and be vulnerable,” Bravo added.
From when they were first spotted to what they’ve said about their romance, here’s everything to know about Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo’s relationship.

Woodley and Bravo first sparked romance rumors in March 2025, when they were spotted holding hands, sharing a hug and draping their arms around one another during a stroll in Paris. Bravo sported a brown puffer jacket and a beanie, while Woodley wore a black trench coat and baggy gray slacks.
The pair were spotted again on a PDA-packed outing in the City of Lights just one day later, and both wore a similar casual warm attire as the previous day.
Their affectionate outings came seven months after Woodley was seen on a date with a mystery man in New York City.

On April 3, Bravo gave PEOPLE a glimpse into his new romance while at the opening night of Broadway’s Good Night, and Good Luck, saying, “Yeah, I’m really happy.”
While he is feeling good about his budding relationship, the Ticket to Paradise actor previously opened up to Glamour about his biggest relationship deal-breakers.
“I really don’t like when the person runs away,” he told the outlet in October 2020. “I like communication. It’s the basis of everything.”

During an October 2024 appearance on Podcrushed, Bravo reflected on spending much of his life until his late twenties “prioritizing relationships” — and explained why he is “fascinated” by love.
“Early on I discovered that it was the fastest way to grow up. It was the fastest way to accept some of the things you thought were issues, physically wise or mentally wise,” he said. “To be able to be fully yourself in the presence of someone else, and to see that you’re not a monster or you’re not weird, it’s mind-opening, it’s crazy.”
“This was the only thing I was interested in,” Bravo added. “I didn’t see why I should spend any time on anything else than finding the most intense form of love possible.”
On the flip side, Bravo said that “losing someone” makes you “grow up 10 times faster.”
Woodley was previously engaged to Aaron Rodgers
The Fault in Our Stars actress was previously in a relationship with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The pair got engaged in 2021 and called it quits the following year. During a December 2024 conversation with Outside magazine, Woodley shared that talking about her relationship with Rodgers made her emotional.
“I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry,” she said. “It was not right. But it was beautiful.”
Woodley has frequently opened up about wanting to be a mom

Although the Big Little Lies star has largely kept her romantic life private, Woodley has spoken frequently about her desire to become a mom, which she told Outside magazine was one of her “biggest dreams.”
In June 2024, Woodley, who is an outspoken advocate for the environment, spoke to PEOPLE about why she wanted to help clean the planet before welcoming a child into the world.
“I want to be a mom and I’m not going to give this world to a child and go, ‘Oops, sorry, we messed it up for you. Have fun for as many years as you get to be here,’ ” she said. “That’s just so not on my agenda.”

Kate Beckinsale Sues Canary Black Producers for Allegedly Exposing Her to ‘Dangerous and Unsafe Conditions’ on Set

NEED TO KNOW
- Kate Beckinsale starred in the Amazon thriller, Canary Black, in October 2024, which began production in 2022
- The actress alleges in a new complaint that the film’s producers exposed her to “dangerous and unsafe conditions”
- Beckinsale initially filed a complaint as Jane Doe in December 2024, before amending the complaint and going public with her name in May 2025
Kate Beckinsale is suing the Canary Black producers after allegedly being exposed to “dangerous and unsafe conditions,” according to a complaint obtained by PEOPLE.
The 51-year-old actress starred in the crime film in 2024, which was released on Oct. 3. Over seven months later, the actress is accusing the film’s production company, Anton Entertainment Media Services, Inc., and its employees, including producer John Zois, of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and battery. Puck was the first to report the news.
Beckinsale initially filed against the producers in December 2024 as “Jane Doe.” However, she issued an amended complaint on Wednesday, May 21, including communications with the defendants and more details of her on-set injury.
Prime Video/Amazon MGM Studios
Beckinsale first suffered a complex meniscus tear in her left knee while filming in December 2022. She then needed surgery, which subsequently paused the production for months.
Before she returned to set, she claims her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Jason Snibbe, said she should not be asked to perform stunts that involved running, jumping, harness suspension, squatting or kicking, per the complaint. However, Dr. Snibbe’s requests were allegedly ignored.
Beckinsale’s complaint claims that she suffered further aggravation of the knee injury as her doctor’s orders were repeatedly ignored and she was allegedly coerced into performing “unsafe action sequences.”
In the newly amended complaint, Beckinsale allegedly suffered a “significant trauma” to her knee after she was exposed to “dangerous and unsafe conditions” on the Canary Black set.
“Ms. Beckinsale and her team repeatedly raised red flags regarding unsafe conditions on and off set to Defendants, including long, dangerous set days, often lasting fifteen hours, inadequate equipment and medical personnel to help manage the high physical workload and recover from the exertion off set, and failure to adequately inform Ms. Beckinsale of what stunts she was expected to perform until often the moment she had to perform it,” the complaint read.
The actress also alleges that although she raised her concerns repeatedly, the producers put her ” in harm’s way” after they “continued to recklessly and intentionally forge ahead with unsafe filming conditions, forgoing safety to maintain profit margins.”
Prime Video
Along with several reach-outs from Beckinsale’s team about their concerns with the set, her agent, Shani Rosenzweig, allegedly emailed Zois, saying, “No one is actually taking real action to put a plan in place to fix this situation so it never happens again… [Ms. Beckinsale] keeps showing up to set for her call time and everyone around her has been made aware it’s going to be a 15 hour [or more] day except for her.”
Rosenzweig then demanded immediate action to address the unsafe conditions. “If you’re trying to kill a person, you’re doing a great job,” she wrote to Zois, after asking him to explain his plans to remedy the situation. The complaint alleges Zois responded and agreed to shorten the actress’ “unsustainable” work days, saying, “I don’t know what else to say other than you’re right.”
Despite Zois’ response, Beckinsale’s attorneys alleged she still worked 15-hour days, was tasked to “perform dangerous action sequences, without pre-clearing or pre-training,” and the “set conditions continued to be dangerous.”
As a result of the alleged negligence and “conscious and reckless decisions, Ms. Beckinsale suffered further injury, including aggravation and exacerbation of her existing injuries, which was entirely avoidable,” per the complaint.

Former MTV VJ Ananda Lewis dead at 52

Former MTV “Total Request Live” host Ananda Lewis has died following a nearly 5-year battle with breast cancer. She was 52 years old.
“She’s free, and in His heavenly arms,” the video journalist’s sister Lakshmi wrote in a Facebook post announcing Ananda’s passing on Wednesday. “Lord, rest her soul 🙏🏽.”
Lewis revealed her cancer diagnosis in October 2020.
“This is tough for me, but if just ONE woman decides to get her mammogram after watching this, what I’m going through will be worth it,” she shared in her Instagram post, urging her followers to “practice early detection.”
In October 2024, Lewis shared that her tumor had metastasized and her cancer had progressed to stage IV after she chose to go against her doctor’s advice and refused to have a double mastectomy, according to People.
“My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made,” Lewis said at the time.
“I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way. . . . I wish I could go back. It’s important for me to admit where I went wrong with this.”
Lewis continued to share her message of early detection up until her June death. In her January essay published in Essence, she also pushed for women to pay attention to their health as she reflected on her lingering mortality.
“We’re not meant to stay here forever. We come to this life, have experiences — and then we go,” she wrote.
“Being real about that with yourself changes how you choose to live. I don’t want to spend one more minute than I have to suffering unnecessarily.”
“That, for me, is not the quality of life I’m interested in. When it’s time for me to go, I want to be able to look back on my life and say, ‘I did that exactly how I wanted to,’” she added.
Lewis became a household name in 1997 when she started as one of MTV’s VJs. She hosted several popular shows on the network including “Total Request Live” and “Hot Zone.”
After being named “the hip-hop generation’s reigning It Girl,” by the New York Times, she left MTV in 2001 to host her talk show, “The Ananda Lewis Show.”
The series ran for one season. Lewis later made appearances as a host on “The Insider,” A&E’s “America’s Top Dog” and TLC’s “While You Were Out.” She also starred on “Celebrity Mole: Yucatán.”
Lewis is survived by her son, Langston, whom she welcomed in 2011 with Harry Smith — the brother of Will Smith.
