Nicholas Galitzine is currently single and not dating anyone. Nothing about him shows that he is in a relationship with anyone. He has, however, dated and been romantically linked with many women in the past, ranging from his movie co-star to other women outside the entertainment industry.

Nicholas Galitzine is a British actor best known for his roles in the movies and TV shows Purple Hearts, Cinderella, Handsome Devil, and The Beat Beneath My Feet. He started his professional acting career in 2011 and has made a name for himself for over a decade now as a successful actor in Hollywood, thanks to his ability to interpret diverse roles seamlessly.

But apart from his thriving career and achievements, which are transparent, Galitzine has also been making headlines for his love life. Even though he tries to keep his relationship affairs low-key, rumors have constantly been peddled about it. This article divulges all the truth you need to know about Nicholas Galitzine, particularly regarding his love and relationship life.

Dissecting Nicholas Galitzine’s Relationship

Nicholas Galitzine has, since his rise to fame, had a rather colorful relationship life. Both the rumored and the confirmed, he has been linked to a number of women. Even more than his professional career, Nicholas’ relationship history has become a widely discussed topic on the internet and among his fans.

As expected, as his fame and relevance continue to grow, many people get more curious and ask questions about the actor’s personal life, ranging from who he is dating at each moment to his past romantic affairs.

What Is Nicholas Galitzine’s Sexuality?

Nicholas Galitzine’s is straight. Although for many years now, there have been rumors of him being gay, nothing has been proven. The Purple Hearts star has never openly identified himself as gay. He has yet to address or respond to these rumors. Read on to get more details about his sexual preference and the reasons or circumstances that fueled rumors of him being gay.

Is Nicholas Galitzine Gay?

Nicholas Galitzine is not gay, as much as it is publicly evident. Speculations and rumors about him being gay primarily stemmed from his portrayal of various gay movie roles over the past couple of years. Galitzine graduated from Dulwich College in London, England, where he was actively part of Pleasance Islington, a youth theatre company that helped him enter the movie industry.

He made her professional acting debut in the 2014 film The Beat Beneath My Feet. After that, he continued to take on straightforward roles that never posed a question about his sexual orientation. However, that seemed to have changed since 2016 when he landed the role of Connor Masters in the movie Handsome Devil.

His role disposition in the movie was that of a closet gay kid in an all-boys school. This role also brought out Nicholas’ acting prowess and proved his ability to take on diverse roles and interpret them excellently. He was able to dig into his acting skills, and he stood up perfectly to the challenge. In fact, it is his outstanding portrayal of the Connor Master character that left many people in doubt.

While some people applauded his excellence in perfectly interpreting a gay character for the first time, some others began to spread rumors that he may be gay in real life. But indeed, the rumor would come as a surprise only for people who have yet to see the movie. In addition to skyrocketing his fame and popularity to the next level, Galitzine’s success in the film seemed to be a missed blessing as netizens continued to spread the news that he is gay.

Furthermore, in 2020, the same questions and rumors about Nicholas’ sexuality started spreading again after he played the role of Timmy Andrews in the drama fantasy horror movie The Craft: Legacy. The film follows the story of a group of high school students who come together to form a witch oven. The Craft: Legacy is a sequel to the 1996 American teen drama horror film The Craft.

In the movie, Timmy Andrews (Nicholas Galitzine’s character) is a bisexual school bully who later becomes friends with the film’s main character, Lily, played by actress Cailee Spaeny. Just as the story goes, Nicholas stayed true to his already growing reputation and fame as a talented actor by once again pulling off the role of a bisexual as if it was his actual sexual orientation.

This time, netizens amended the rumors to say that he is bisexual. In their narratives, Nicholas Galitzine is undoubtedly a member of the LGBTQ+ community, either as a gay man or bisexual. And yes, Galitzine had once expressed the need to support the LGBTQ community.

Did Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez Ever Date?

Nicholas has once been romantically linked with a man in real life, and it was with Taylor Zakhar Perez, his co-star in the 2019 film Red, White & Royal Blue. They afterward became very close and bonded so well that people began to allege that what they have together goes beyond the small screen.

While Nicholas plays Prince Henry, Pereze plays Alex Claremont-Diaz in the movie, which tells the love story between Prince Henry, a British prince, and Alex, the first son of the United States. In the film, Galitzine and Taylor were initially enemies but subsequently became friends.

Although their on-screen chemistry seems to be enough to prove the claims, the two actors are not dating and have never dated in real life. Fans have since held on to their roles in the movie to conclude that they are gay. But this time, Taylor Zakhar Perez was the one who indirectly debunked the claims and laughed it off.

 “It comes from that level of trust you get when you work with somebody you’s been close to,” Perez told PEOPLE. Meanwhile, Perez is a very vocal advocate of the LGBT community, even though he has never openly spoken about his sexuality. Moreover, he always seems to be more at ease portraying homosexual roles.

He Has Not Responded to The Gay Rumors

It has since become evident that Nicholas Galitzine has chosen to remain tight-lipped on the issue of his sexuality since the rumors started making rounds. Even though it is believed that expressively stating his sexual preference would have been the easiest way to put an end to these rumors, the actor chose to focus on his acting career, leaving everyone with his opinion.

Considering the publicity the rumors have given him over the years, it seems he is enjoying the whole story as it has boosted his public relevance and profile, bringing him to the attention of many movie producers. With his approach, it is difficult to know exactly what his sexual orientation is.

He has continued to prove that he can interpret any role given to him, notwithstanding the character’s sexual preference. So, for now, we believe he is not gay, but the fact is that his sexual preference will continue to divide opinion until he decides to address it exactly.

Who is Nicholas Galitzine’s Girlfriend?

Nicholas Galitzine does not have a girlfriend at the moment, as he is not known to be in a relationship with anyone. The actor has maintained a relatively private life regarding his romantic involvements with women, but that has not ended speculations about his love and dating life. In fact, it is seemingly his discreet nature about his relationships that has kept fueling rumors about him being gay.

Galitzine has never officially introduced any woman as his partner or love interest. However, that does not wish away the fact that he is interested in women. But to get a glimpse of his romantic and love life, one must return to the actor’s earlier years before he became popular in the movie industry. Nicholas Galitzine, in 2019, revealed in an interview that he actually got into acting due to a crush on a girl.

He reportedly went all the way to an Edinburgh Fringe Festival just to catch his crush’s attention, only to come back with an acting agency. This would go a long way to further establish the fact that he has interests in women. 

Even more than this, Nicholas has subsequently been romantically linked with some of his co-stars, although most of them only seem to be fans’ wishful thinking, and he never confirmed any of them.

As of 2023, Nicholas appears to be single, even though some people believe he may be keeping his woman entirely out of the public eye. If that in any way has been the case, then he deserves some awards.

A Look at Nicholas Galitzine’s Relationship History

Even though Nicholas Galitzine has not been romantically linked to many women, below are a couple of whom he has allegedly dated in the past.

In the film, Sofia stars as Cassie Salazar, while Nicholas plays the Luke Morrow character. The two fell in love in the movie and subsequently got married. In July 2022, in an interview with PEOPLE, Sofia described her chemistry with Nicholas in Purple Hearts as “immediate.” The two costars met for the first time in Zoom, just a night before they started shooting  Purple Hearts.

Following the film’s release, they were seen together in public a couple of times and never again to date. Like Nicholas, Sofia is known for consistently keeping her personal life under wraps. She has clearly explained that keeping her personal life private is an “absolutely intentional” decision. So, neither she nor Nicholas ever confirmed or debunked their relationship rumors.

Camila Cabello and Nicholas Galitzine’s Relationship

Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao, simply known as Camila Cabello, is an American singer and songwriter born on 3rd March 1997. She came to prominence for being a member of Fifth Harmony, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Cabello has been active in the music scene for over a decade and has maintained relevance in the industry.

She and Nicholas were romantically linked in 2021 after they starred together in the romantic musical film Cinderella. However, the two have all along been very open about their friendship even before they starred in the film. But after meeting on the set of Cinderella, they seemed to have become more than just colleagues but best of friends.

Speaking in an interview with Vogue, Nicholas, in a bid to praise Camila Cabello’s singing talents, said that he has never felt as untalented as he does whenever he had to sing alongside Camila. They usually gush over themselves on social media and do not fail to celebrate each other on their birthdays and any other special occasions.

During her 24th birthday celebration in 2021, Nicholas posted her photo on his Instagram page with a caption that partly reads, “Happiest birthday to the goofiest little pooper a Prince could ask for!” He also gave his fans a glimpse of their close relationship by saying that he found a mate for life. He rounded up the post with “Love you.”

But as the story goes, neither he nor Camila Cabello cared to address whether they were truly dating or not. But from what can be deduced, it is likely they do not have a relationship beyond being just good friends.
