The Real-Life Partners Of I Love LA's Leading Ladies

HBO's "I Love LA" entered the TV landscape in late 2025 as an irreverent comedy centered around a group of ridiculous 20-somethings chasing success in LA. The series, which has been compared to "Girls" and "Broad City," was created by notable star Rachel Sennott. The Connecticut native, who headlines as aspiring talent agent Maia, made her mark in hit films like "Shiva Baby" and "Bottoms," while also being associated with "Brat" party girl Charli XCX and fellow comedian Ayo Edeberi.

Fans of the series may be interested to learn more about the star behind "I Love LA," including the details of her love life, but Sennott isn't the only leading lady who makes the show what it is. Odessa A'zion, seen in projects like "Grand Army," stars as up-and-coming influencer and messy It-girl Tallulah, while True Whitaker appears as the spacey-but-lovable nepo baby Alani. Leighton Meester, who's undergone a stunning transformation since starring on "Gossip Girl," rounds out the cast as Maia's boss and mentor, Alyssa.

Only time will tell what LA has in store for these characteristically unlikeable characters, but fans can take a peek into the lives of the real-life actors in the meantime. So, while romance has been a solid element of the show, several of the leading ladies have interesting real-life partners of their own. Otherwise, they're demonstrating how to confidently lead that single life.

Rachel Sennott has undoubtedly garnered the envy of Team Peeta fans on "I Love LA," as her character Maia dates and lives with Dylan. The down-to-earth and unwaveringly supportive middle school teacher is played by Josh Hutcherson of "The Hunger Games" fame. While the duo's bond is tested onscreen, Sennott's real-life romances have spawned their own set of headlines. The "I Used to Be Funny" star previously dated fellow actor Logan Miller, with the two connecting during quarantine before sparking breakup rumors in 2024. 

Since then, she's been connected to Grammy-winning music producer Blake Slatkin, who's known for working with artists such as Lizzo, Sam Smith, and Ed Sheeran. The Hollywood figure is even credited on Charli XCX's "360" music video, which famously featured Sennott. Although they haven't confirmed their relationship, the two were pictured kissing during a visit to the popular West Hollywood restaurant, Sushi Park, in June 2025. 

A fan account also reposted a snapshot of them kissing in September, with the intimate photo reportedly being shared to Slatkin's Instagram Story. Social media moments from Charli XCX's September nuptials to George Daniels also suggest the rumoured couple were in attendance together, with Sennott and Slatkin posing together with Troye Sivan in a photo shared to "I Love LA" actor Jordan Firstman's Instagram. So, though Sennott hasn't confirmed her relationship status, it definitely seems like her affections are occupied.

Similar to her co-star, Odessa A'zion has left her romantic entanglements up to fan interpretation. As up-and-coming influencer Tallulah, the actor explores a queer connection with a chef played by Moses Ingram on "I Love LA." The California native has referenced her own sexuality on social media, writing a 2021 New Year's post that mentions being queer and Jewish. Her close friendship with pop icon Billie Eilish has also sparked speculation about a potential romantic connection between the two celebrities, but nothing has been confirmed.

As mentioned when discussing the leading ladies of "Marty Supreme" and their real-life partners, A'zion is most popularly linked to fellow actor Drew Starkey. The North Carolina native might be most recognizable for playing Rafe Cameron in "Outer Banks," but he's also appeared in projects like "Love, Simon" and "Queer." The rumoured couple originally appeared as love interests in the 2022 film "Hellraiser" and have seemingly maintained a connection since then.

Not only did the "Marty Supreme" actor share a photo dump of friendly snapshots to celebrate Starkey's birthday in 2022, but they've been photographed by paparazzi leaving events like the Loewe afterparty and a pre-Oscars party in subsequent years. He was even seen lending his support to the cast of "I Love LA" in a set of photos shared by True Whitaker in December 2025. Overall, whether or not Starkey and A'zion are officially dating or not, it's clear that they share a long-running connection.

True Whitaker plays fan-favorite nepo baby Alani on "I Love LA," with the role mirroring her real-life in some notable ways. The up-and-coming star is actually the daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker and late actor Keisha Nash Whitaker, giving her a similar Hollywood status to her on-screen character. Otherwise, True's real-life seemingly overlaps with her "I Love LA" persona in that she doesn't seem to be repping an official relationship at the time of writing. Admittedly, little is known about the actor's personal life, though she does chronicle some of her travels and late nights on her Instagram.

While she doesn't appear to be connected to anyone romantically, her famous father has expressed a pretty positive attitude when it comes to his children's dating lives. "Whatever would make my children happy," he told Cleveland back in 2010. "It's really about the quality of the kid they bring home. I'm very open with my daughters. I try not to put my own fears onto them. I trust they will find a man who will let them grow. They're strong. They wouldn't let somebody treat them wrong." With this in mind, it's safe to say that if True does ever debut a new partner, it will definitely be someone worthwhile.

Leighton Meester rounds out the leading ladies of "I Love LA" as Alyssa, with Episode 5 providing insight into the publicist's marriage to a music producer played by Ben Feldman. In real life, the "Gossip Girl" alum is married to fellow actor Adam Brody, with the relationship ranking among celebrity marriages we think will stand the test of time. They began dating in 2013 and tied the knot in 2014, going on to welcome two children together.

The "Nobody Wants This" star opened up about the start of their relationship on the "Unqualified" podcast hosted by Anna Faris. Accordingly, the celebs were first introduced through Josh Schwartz, who produced the teen shows they each appeared in throughout the 2000s. From there, they reconnected when working on the 2011 movie "The Oranges," going on to date roughly a year later when Brody was no longer in a relationship. "Even when we did the movie, there was like chemistry there, but I was seeing someone," said "The O.C." star. "Come to find out, like, she's literally Joan of Arc. She's like the strongest, best person I know."

While the Hollywood figures keep the details of their shared life together private, Meester has similarly echoed positive things about their heartwarming relationship. "We're super, super lucky, and I think we recognize how lucky we are with one another," she told E! News. "We give each other a lot of respect and time and attention and focus." So, while the leading ladies of "I Love LA" provide plenty of laughs on our TV screens, they're serving up major relationship goals in real life.
