Elle Fanning has been a Hollywood staple practically since birth. The 26-year-old American actress broke out as a child star, playing the younger version of her sister, fellow actress Dakota Fanning, in the 2001 drama I Am Sam before going on to appear in films like Daddy Day Care, Babel and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

In the decades since, Fanning has become a bonafide leading lady, in films like Mike Mills‘ 20th Century Women, Sofia Coppola‘s The Beguiled, Woody Allen’s A Rainy Day in New York and the Maleficent franchise. Her starring turn as Catherine the Great in the Hulu period satire The Great earned the actress a Primetime Emmy nomination and two Golden Globe nods.

Now, the blonde-haired beauty is back with another buzzy role as Sylvie Russo—based on Bob Dylan’s real life girlfriend, Suze Rotolo—in the acclaimed new biopic A Complete Unknown. Hitting theaters on Wednesday, Dec. 25, the musical drama sees Fanning act opposite Timothée Chalamet as 1960s-era Dylan, with the film already being named one of the top ten films of 2024 by the American Film Institute and Elle receiving the Best Supporting Actress prize by the National Board of Review.

Given that Elle Fanning will no doubt be attending plenty of awards ceremonies and red carpet events as the coming months roll on, you might be curious as to who will be by her side through it all. Here is everything we know about who the actress is currently dating, as well as her past romantic history.

Who is Elle Fanning’s boyfriend, Gus Wenner?

Fanning is dating Gus Wenner, a 34-year-old American magazine executive who has been the CEO of Rolling Stone since 2021. After graduating from Brown University in 2012, Wenner went into the family business—he is the son of Jane Schindelheim and magazine magnate Jann Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone and the co-founder of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Elle hard-launched her relationship with the media man in January 2024, when they walked the red carpet together at the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards.

How long have Elle Fanning and Gus Wenner been dating?

The Girl from Plainville actress hasn’t publicly spilled how she first met her business executive beau, but the pair was first linked in November 2023, when Page Six paparazzi spotted them hand-in-hand outside of The Waverly Inn in New York City. The pair were grabbing dinner with Gus’s brother Theo, pop singer Lorde and Succession actor Annabelle Dexter-Jones. And though we don’t have details of their first meeting, it was no doubt a momentous one for the star, who revealed to Harper’s Bazaar in April 2023: “I’m a hopeless romantic. I believe in love at first sight. Call me crazy, but I believe in those things. I feel that it’s my destiny.”

When did Elle Fanning and Max Minghella break up?

Prior to dating Gus Weller, Fanning was in a longtime relationship with English actor-filmmaker Max Minghella from 2018 to 2023. The son of director Anthony Minghella, 39-year-old Max is known for his roles in movies like The Social Network, The Darkest Hour, The Ides of March and Babylon, as well as TV series like The Mindy Project and The Handmaid’s Tale, the latter of which earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination in 2021.

The Great star and Minghella first met in 2018 on the set of the movie Teen Spirit, which was written and directed by Minghella. They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2019 Met Gala. However, after a four-year romance, the actress confirmed their split to Harper’s Bazaar in April 2023, telling the outlet that she was newly single.

What was the age difference between Elle Fanning and Max Minghella?

There was a bit of an age gap between Fanning and Minghella: 12 years, in fact. However, that decade-plus difference between the coworkers-turned-couple wasn’t “an issue at all,” a source told Us Weekly in January 2023. “Elle loves how mature and intelligent Max is. He’s a real intellect with a big passion for arts and culture.” Just a few short months later, though, the duo would split.
