It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the deliciously escapist Emily in Paris is back in our lives for another season. While there’s plenty of romance on-screen, we also want to know who the cast is dating in real life, and as it turns out, two of them fell in love on set.

Emily in Paris, created by Darren Starr of Sex and the City fame, the show follows a marketing executive Emily (Lily Collins) as she relocates from Chicago to provide an American perspective at a marketing firm in Paris. What could possibly go wrong?
In trying to understand and questionably assimilate to the Parisian lifestyle, Emily makes friends and falls in love, all the while wearing some of the most eye-catching, spectacularly confusing, and impractical outfits thanks to costume designer Marylin Fitoussi—we did say the show was escapist! Here’s who the cast is dating in real life.
Who is the Emily in Paris cast dating in real life?
Lily Collins (Emily)

They met on the set of his movie, Gilded Rage, in 2019, and in an interview with Live With Kelly & Ryan a year later, Collins revealed that she had an instant connection with McDowell and knew she wanted to be his wife from the moment she met him. “I knew the second that I met him that I wanted to be his wife one day, so it was just a matter of when, really,” she said.
Collins revealed to Byrdie in 2020 why McDowell proposed to her during a road trip—a tradition they started that year. “You’re literally breathing in clean air,” she said. “You’re not feeling at a loss of creativity and you’re doing things with your hands and getting outside and building fires, and feeling really at peace in a time when there’s just been so much darkness.”
Ashley Park (Mindy)

The sweetest thing about their relationship is that they fell in love on set and shared their first kiss on camera, even though Park initially was hesitant to date another actor. She did admit to Cosmopolitan in August 2024, however, that he was “eye candy.”
“I was also like, ‘Oh my god, definitely not. I am past that. I would never fall for someone who looks that impeccable,’” she told the magazine. “So we were just friends. Very platonically, we would hang out.”
She later told Access Hollywood, “It’s so funny, our first kiss ever was on camera. I think it’s that we really came into this with a friendship, and I was blown away by how respectful he was as a man, as a scene partner, and how incredibly smart and thoughtful he was. And so I was really attracted to that in terms of friendship,” she said.
Lucas Bravo (Gabriel)

Not even his social media account has revealed anything. But what he has said about finding love in unexpected places, it’s likely not to be on the set of one of his projects. “I have this rule about costars,” he told Glamour in October 2020. “Once you step on set, it’s a workplace, and I want to keep it professional. … [And] I don’t really have fans, so I don’t know. That is a question I will maybe answer some other time.”
Camille Razat (Camille)

She and her co-star, Lucien Laviscount, sparked dating rumors on the red carpet of the Brit Awards in 2023, but as far as we know, she was engaged to photographer Etienne Baret, but seemingly all evidence of their relationship has disappeared from her Instagram account. Perhaps they broke up? Not sure.
Kate Walsh (Madeline)

It’s really good for me. And then you go back overseas and you’re like, ‘Oh my god. People are insane,’” she told Daily Mail in January 2024. “I feel very fortunate I can pop back to LA, go to work, and then come back here and live my best life.”
Walsh was previously married to Alex Young, whom she wed in 2007. The former couple split in 2008 and finalized their divorce in 2010. “I don’t think anyone gets married thinking that they will get divorced,” she told Redbook. “We certainly did not.”
Lucien Laviscount (Alfie)

“Shakira is desperate to fall in love – but her friends are concerned because Lucien has slowly crept his way up the celebrity ladder while dating women who were all less famous than Shakira,” an insider told Daily Mail in April 2024.
Meanwhile, a source told Us Weekly they were seeing each other “casually” after chemistry during the filming of Shakira’s music video. “Shakira and Lucien have a light playful thing going on—and he’s very into her,” another source explained.
William Abadie (Antoine)

He told the New York Post in 2020 that he has many fans on social media, though, who often send him marriage proposals, so… shoot your shot, I guess? “They say things like: ‘Please be my boyfriend’ or ‘Take me to the Eiffel Tower,’ and it’s very flattering,” he said. “I’m always very thankful and try to reply to their comments.”
Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie)

Eugenio Franceschini
Image Credit: September 10th, 2024 Eugenio Franceschini is Emily’s new Roman love interest, Marcello. From his social media activity, it does appear he has a girlfriend or wife, and two young children, but we don’t know much about them other than the glimpses he offers publicly.
