The Amazon Prime Video adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s New York Times best-selling novel, “Red, White & Royal Blue,” is finally here. The film, which hit Prime Video on Aug. 11, was greenlit by Amazon Studios and Berlanti Productions in April 2019 and has since become highly anticipated due the novel’s large and loyal fan base. The LGBTQ+ rom-com centers around Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the first son of President Ellen Claremont (Uma Thurman), who attends a royal wedding in hopes of maintaining a diplomatic relationship with the United Kingdom. At the event, Alex meets Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine), and following a confrontation between the two, the royal wedding cake is ruined. To avoid an international scandal, Alex and Prince Henry forge a friendship, which becomes complicated by their growing feelings for one another.
In addition to Perez, Galitzine, and Thurman, “Red, White & Royal Blue” also stars “Sex/Life’s” Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson of Hulu’s “Love, Victor,” and “Willow” actor Ellie Bamber. The on-screen, romantic chemistry between Perez and Galitzine is strong, but what about their love lives outside of the film? Here’s everything we know about who the cast of “Red, White & Royal Blue” are dating!

Who Is Taylor Zakhar Perez Dating?
As of 2023, Zakhar Perez does not appear to be dating anyone. The actor, known for his roles in “The Kissing Booth” and “Minx,” maintains a private personal life, though he did give some insight into his dating style and preferences in a 2020 interview with Us Weekly. “I’m a huge fan of dating your friend, someone that you know and you trust because that’s where it all starts, right?” he told the outlet. “For me, non-sexual intimacy is so much more important to me at first. I’m all about the sensitive stuff.”

Who Is Nicholas Galitzine Dating?
Like his “Red, White & Royal Blue” costar, Galitzine appears to be single. He is tight-lipped about his love life and hasn’t been linked to anyone in public, despite some heavy (but unsubstantiated) rumors centered around him and his “Purple Hearts” costar Sofia Carson. Romance, however, was a motivator for the “Cinderella” star to begin acting. He revealed in an interview with Wonderland Magazine, “There was a girl who was going up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival who I really fancied . . . I did [the festival] so I could go chase this girl. And I came back with this acting agency.”

Who Is Uma Thurman Dating?
Throughout her years in the public eye, Thurman has been romantically linked to Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke, the latter of whom she shares children Maya and Levon Hawke with. Currently, Thurman is dating Justin B. Smith, the CEO of Bloomberg Media Group, as reported by People. The New York Times subtly revealed the news in a June 2021 piece about elites in Washington DC, and it appears that the two have been dating since at least 2021, though an exact timeline of their relationship is unknown. Thurman and Smith’s relationship is very private, and the comment “I’m a news lover” is the only insight the “Kill Bill” actor has given into their romance.

Who Is Sarah Shahi Dating?
Shahi is currently dating her “Sex/Life” costar Adam Demos. The two met on the set of the steamy Netflix series in 2020 and confirmed their relationship via Instagram later that year in December 2020. “When I first met Adam, I was really blown away with him . . . We met in the makeup trailer and we just got on instantly. We had the exact same taste in music. We had the same taste in whiskey and tequilas and I was really blown away by him just as a person and all I knew was that I wanted more,” Shahi told People in June 2021. The two sparked engagement rumors in April 2022, and they appear to be going strong as of 2023.
