Harris Dickinson met Rose Gray back in secondary school in East London, where their teenage connection kicked off a romance now spanning over a decade.
Both from the Leytonstone and Walthamstow areas, they bonded over shared roots and ambitions long before Dickinson landed roles in films like Beach Rats and The King’s Man.
Gray, a rising pop artist, dropped her debut mixtape, Dancing, Drinking, Thinking, Talking, in 2021, while Dickinson built his screen cred, yet they kept their personal life tucked away.
Early signs popped up on social media around 2021, with Gray posting cozy shots that fans connected to Dickinson.
By 2023, they shared glimpses of home life in East London, including their cat Misty Blue, adopted just before lockdown and treated like royalty. Dickinson called the feline Gray’s “child” in chats, highlighting how pets anchor their routine amid travels.
This foundation sets them apart in celeb circles, where quick flings dominate. Dickinson’s low-drama vibe shines through, as he dodged romance talk on shows like Drew Barrymore, focusing instead on real bonds over scripted heat. Gray echoed that in magazine spots, praising how their history weathers industry storms.
Long-Haul Love Thrives on Distance
Gray opened up in summer 2025 about handling split schedules, with Dickinson filming Babygirl alongside Nicole Kidman and her touring for the album Louder, Please. She credited time apart for strengthening ties, noting it pushes independent growth while reunions hit harder.
Their setup works because they both chase dreams separately, sharing a home base that waits through press junkets and gigs.

Professionals overlap tests and tighten their dynamic. Dickinson directed Gray’s 2019 video for “Blue” and 2023’s “Afraid of Nothing,” where she played a runaway bride in a mini-film vibe. He valued her blunt feedback on sets, saying it skips polite filters for honest collabs.
Gray saw his cinematic touch transform her nostalgic ’90s style into something fresh.
Into 2026, no breakup whispers surface, even post-Babygirl buzz. Gray’s MTV Push UK win early in the year, and Dickinson’s Cannes acclaim for directing Urchin keeps the momentum mutual. Fans dub them a power duo, with TikToks of their vibes going viral amid his rising star.
Fame’s Pull Meets Private Roots
Dickinson’s 2025 surge, from Triangle of Sadness to A Murder at the End of the World, spotlights their balance act. Gray’s EP Higher than the Sun and full album rollout drew praise, positioning her as the “real-life babygirl” beside his roles.
They dodge red carpets together, opting for Vietnam trips with friends or quiet birthday bashes Dickinson planned with party buses and home-cooked ragu.
Gray handled the solo spotlight well, chatting about tours and studio joys without leaning on his name. Dickinson, in turn, hyped her tracks privately, sending unreleased cuts to pals for surprise parties. Their directness shines in joint interviews, where bad ideas get shot down fast.
As 2026 heats up with Dickinson’s role as John Lennon and Gray’s Kesha tour opener slots, their story inspires. Shared cat duties and East London flat ground them, proving teen love scales Hollywood without cracking. Fans watch for more subtle nods, like Instagram likes or festival crossovers, betting this duo outlasts the hype.
A video from Copenhagen Airport in late December 2025 shows Jenna Ortega nestled close to Elias Rønnenfelt, the two sharing headphones and a laptop screen during a layover bound for Los Angeles. His arm wraps around her in line, and witnesses report a kiss in a secluded spot, though no footage catches that exact beat.
This clip, which blew up on social platforms, marks the boldest public display yet for the pair, shifting rumors from quiet hints to full-blown speculation heading into 2026.
Low-key sightings built the case beforehand. Back in October 2025, Ortega popped up in Rønnenfelt’s “Mona Lisa” video, their on-screen chemistry sparking talk of off-screen sparks amid limo rides and sultry glances near Paris landmarks.
Follow-up cafe hangs in Copenhagen, added layers, painting pictures of casual dates far from paparazzi glare. No official words from either side fuel the fire, aligning with Ortega’s long-standing habit of shielding her personal side to protect her on-screen edge. As January 2026 rolls on without fresh clips, the absence of denials only amps the intrigue.
Iceage Frontman Steps Into Spotlight
Elias Rønnenfelt, born in 1992 in Denmark, fronts the punk band Iceage, which he started as a teen in 2008, known for raw energy and tracks like “Hollow Noon.”
Now 33, he blends vocals and guitar with a poet’s intensity, branching into solo work like the 2024 album Heavy Glory and collabs with artists such as Dean Blunt. His great-grandfather’s Danish resistance history adds a layer of grit to his profile.

The “Mona Lisa” link thrust him into Ortega’s orbit, her brief role opposite him blurring lines between project and possibility. Iceage’s early days drew heat for edgy lyrics and visuals that some read as controversial, prompting the band to regret unintended vibes, though nothing recent ties back.
This resurfaced chatter questions if his rock scene baggage meshes with her rising star status. Fans note the 10-year age gap, with Ortega at 23, but others cheer the match of her dark roles and his punk roots.
Fan Backlash Clashes With Cheers
Online takes on the airport footage split sharply. One camp gushes over the “cute” cuddles, editing clips into heart-eyed montages and dubbing it a fresh Hollywood-punk vibe.
Privacy defenders fire back at sneaky filming, calling out fans for turning a chill wait into viral fodder. Rønnenfelt’s Iceage past stirs boycott calls from stans wary of old controversies bleeding into her world.
Ortega’s history tempers the hype. Rumors tied her to Asher Angel in 2018 via red carpets and matching costumes, but it faded without confirmation. A supposed Devin Booker dinner proved to be photoshopped fan fiction, and Johnny Depp links got her laughing on podcasts as pure absurdity.
She once shared a years-long relationship ended by work demands, stressing how romance talk could mess with roles like Wednesday Addams. This pattern of quiet exits fits her focus, with no 2026 event sightings to confirm or kill the buzz.
Career steamrolls the chatter. Fresh off Wednesday season 2’s Netflix records, she eyes projects like The Gallerist with Natalie Portman and Klara and the Sun. Silence lets her grind unbothered, headphones in despite cameras, proving tabloid noise ranks low on her list.
As awards season looms, any handholds could seal it, but her track record bets on more mystery. Supporters push live-and-let-love amid the noise, while critics probe if the punk edge suits her polish. The duo’s Denmark-to-LA hops hint at testing long-distance waters, if real.
Her privacy stance holds power. Past exes stayed vague on Armchair Expert, and recent chats reinforce work over dates. Obama’s crush mentions her stand as her only public soft spot, underscoring single-by-choice vibes.
Rønnenfelt’s off-grid style matches, their shared flights suggesting quiet builds over flash. Threads dissect frames for proof, but her poise screams control.
January stays mum, no LA walks or Insta slips. Globes or premieres could shift that, yet history says expect crickets. Stans megathread every angle, from suit styles to arm drapes, fueling endless scrolls.
Her empire grows regardless; her horror queen status is locked with Scream nods and Beetlejuice beats. Love, if it sticks, plays backup to the spotlight she owns.
