The Real-Life Partners Of Emily In Paris' Leading Ladies

Love it or hate it, you can't deny that "Emily in Paris" has become one of Netflix's most iconic shows. Since 2020, fans (and hate watchers) have followed the escapades of American marketing exec Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) as she navigates life and love in Paris.

If you haven't given the show a try because of the online hearsay and the overall reputation of it being such an unrealistic depiction of life, know that the heightened escapism is actually part of its charm. While the storylines are often over the top, the show does a superb job delivering breathtaking views of the best parts of Paris, allowing viewers to sate their wanderlust (or spark it).

While the show has no shortage of memorable male cast members, it really is the leading ladies, their fabulous wardrobes, and their often unrealistic romantic tropes that really have the viewers hooked. This fascination naturally extends beyond the screen. Fans are often eager to know more about the women behind the characters, including what their actual love lives look like. From co-stars to lovers to a nepo couple who met as director and actor on set, the leading ladies of "Emily in Paris" have love lives that are just as compelling as their on-screen romances. 

For those of you who didn't know already, Lily Collins, who's known to embrace the bushy brow trend, is quite the famous nepo baby as she's the daughter of iconic singer Phil Collins. She's definitely no stranger to the spotlight and growing up around fame and the entertainment industry. It may be part of what brought her and her husband, Charlie McDowell, together. Charlie is the son of showbiz icons Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. His parents' careers clearly had a great impact on Charlie's life, as he's a filmmaker and screenwriter. 

The couple met on the set of "Gilded Rage" as actor and director in 2019, and while they kept it professional on set, Collins admitted in a 2020 interview on "Live with Kelly and Ryan" that she instantly knew he was the man she wanted to marry. Before Charlie tied the knot with Lily in late 2021, he dated other well-known Hollywood actors, including Emilia Clarke and Rooney Mara.

While Lily and Charlie largely keep their lives private, they do share glimpses of their life together and major milestones on social media with fans, including the announcement of the birth of their daughter in January 2025. The couple were proud to announce that they had welcomed their daughter, Tove, via surrogacy on Collins' Instagram. The "Emily in Paris" actor wrote a heartfelt caption: "Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way." 

For many stars, their place of work often becomes the setting for romance, and that was just the case for Ashley Park (who made our best dressed stars of 2024 list) and her "Emily in Paris" co-star, Paul Forman. The two clearly had chemistry on screen, which carried over into a real-life love story. In a July 2023 People interview, Park mentioned a boyfriend who was beyond supportive of her and her career, but did not publicly identify him. Rumors surfaced about the pair in late 2023 with no confirmation from either side. 

However, in January 2024, Park ended up announcing their relationship via an Instagram post in an unexpected and deeply personal way, sharing that she had suffered a life-threatening episode of septic shock in December 2023. Then she went on to thank Forman for being by her side. She wrote: "Grateful most of all to @peforman for being unconditionally by my side through all this ... You calmed my fears ... all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know. I love you Paul. More than I can ever say." The post made it clear just how important Forman's support was during one of the scariest periods of her life all while in an unfamiliar place, the Maldives.

Unfortunately, the "Emily in Paris" co-stars reportedly parted ways after being together for nearly two years in late 2025. Unlike many celeb couples who step away from shared public appearances after they call it quits, the two still attended the premiere of the show's fifth season together in December 2025.

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays the iconic Sylvie Grateau — the epitome of a chic French woman — commands the screen with her effortless style and quick wit. Off-screen, Leroy-Beaulieu takes a similar approach to the character she plays and likes to keep her personal life largely private, especially her love life. While there's little known about her love life, she's never been married, but she does share a daughter with ex-partner Richard Bean. 

The French actor, who just may be one of the best-dressed nepo babies to exist, shares very little about her personal life even on her official Instagram. There's just a whole lot of promotional clips and behind-the-scenes photos and footage. She did, however, get candid about her love life on a December 2025 "Clique" interview. When asked how men often behave around her, Leroy-Beaulieu said she can sense that they are bit intimidated and at times, even scared of her. The reason? According to the actor, it's because she's someone who can't easily be tamed, and believes many men are more comfortable with partners who reassure them by allowing them to be the hero. 

When asked about the kind of person she's attracted to, she said it's all about depth. She wants to continue to uncover new layers in a person and find more to admire the deeper and longer she gets to know them. It's a refreshing perspective and a reminder that confidence and knowing exactly what you want look good at any age. 

Minnie Driver joined the cast of "Emily in Paris" in Season 5, bringing added star power and a fresh dynamic to the series. In a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Driver said she ultimately said yes to the role because she loved the "idea of these different versions of women" and that her character wasn't one-dimensional. 

Off-screen, the actor has embraced the same sense of complexity in her own life, particularly when it comes to romantic relationships. Although she's in a happy long-term relationship with filmmaker and writer Addison O'Dea, it took time for Driver to understand what truly worked for her. In a 2024 interview with the U.K.'s Sunday Times, she reflected on how early experiences shaped her views on love and healthy relationships. Driver said even when the relationship wasn't right, she wanted to get married. It was a way for her to feel like she was fixing what had gone wrong in her childhood due to her parents' failed marriage. 

Today, Driver has a very different perspective on love and marriage, and it's all thanks to her long-term boyfriend, O'Dea. While they may not be married, she often describes their relationship as being loving and secure. The actor described her filmmaker boyfriend as being "most devoted, loving, extraordinary ... Everything I could have wanted in my childhood idea of a husband, he actually is."  

Camille Razat bid farewell to the series after the fourth season. In a heartfelt Instagram post full of photos with her co-stars, she wrote, her time on the show had "been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories." Her castmates quickly filled her comments with messages of support, and it was evident fans had so much love for her as well. They thanked her for her dedication to the show and shared just how much they enjoyed watching her character develop. 

While Razat is no longer on the show, her character, Camille, was an essential part of the plot for the first four seasons. As a result, interest in Razat hasn't faded, especially when it comes to her life off-screen, including her love life. Unlike her character's dramatic on-screen relationships, her real-life romance has unfolded far more quietly. Razat got engaged to French photographer Etienne Baret in 2021. While the couple keep their lives very much private, Razat did share glimpses of their home with Architectural Digest in August 2024.
