The Spark of a New Romance

It's been a whirlwind of romance, red carpets, and New York City lights for Hollywood starlet Elle Fanning and her beau, Gus Wenner. Following her split from The Handmaid's Tale actor Max Minghella, Elle has gracefully danced into a new love story. Known for her roles in films and her enchanting presence, Elle revealed to Harper’s Bazaar in April 2023 that she's a hopeless romantic who believes in love at first sight.

“I’m a hopeless romantic. I believe in love at first sight. Call me crazy, but I believe in those things. I feel that it’s my destiny,” she shared.

Now, Elle is sharing her life with Gus Wenner – magazine executive and son of Rolling Stone's legendary founder, Jann Wenner. The duo first made waves as a couple in fall 2023, capturing attention after dining out with big names like Lorde and Annabelle Dexter-Jones.

Stepping Out in Style

Elle and Gus are no strangers to the limelight, making a splash with their glamorous appearances. They turned heads at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards and made their relationship Instagram official on Valentine’s Day with Elle's adorable post. Not stopping there, the couple graced the iconic Met Gala red carpet in May 2024, embodying the theme "The Garden of Time" with Elle in a stunning Balmain gown.

Their romantic escapades have taken them across the globe, from New York Knicks games to breezy walks through Manhattan. Even Elle’s sister, Dakota, has given her stamp of approval, calling Gus "the brother I never had," after a spirited night in Las Vegas.

A Star-Crossed Match

Gus Wenner isn’t just playing a supporting role in Elle's life. He's carved his path as the CEO of Rolling Stone and an executive producer on hit documentaries. Born a Leo and described as a fire sign like Elle, their astrology marks them as a dynamic duo full of passion and adventure.

From birthday celebrations to New Year’s skiing trips, their love story is as vibrant as a Malibu sunset. Elle shares glimpses of their life together on social media – a testament to their thriving relationship, confident enough to weather the spotlight and any storms it may bring. With both families onboard and a shared love for adventure, Elle and Gus are writing their own Hollywood love script.
