Hollywood often shines as a beacon of glamour, where stars like Chrissy Metz navigate fame’s highs and heart’s mysteries. Yet, in the glow of Tinseltown, the This Is Us actress has sparked intrigue with news of a new romance, balancing her public persona with a private joy—a dance as delicate as the adage: when hearts leap, it’s the quiet moments that matter most.
Since confirming this week that she’s dating someone new, Metz, 44, has captivated fans curious about her life after her 2023 split from Bradley Collins. The actress, known for her heartfelt role as Kate Pearson, has chosen to shield her budding relationship from the spotlight, emphasizing a desire to savor its early days. Her announcement, made while promoting her latest children’s book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings, underscores a shift from past openness to guarded optimism.
On Wednesday, Metz shared her sentiments at a Los Angeles book event, saying, “I’m cherishing this new chapter, keeping it close to my heart. There’s something special about letting love grow quietly.”
Her words struck a chord, contrasting with Hollywood’s often overshared love stories. Metz hinted at lessons learned from previous relationships, including her three-year romance with Collins, with whom she co-authored children’s books. “I’ve learned to protect what’s precious,” she added, “to nurture it before the world weighs in.”
The news stirred chatter among fans, yet details remain scarce. Unlike her past relationships—publicly celebrated on social media with Collins or marked by red-carpet moments with composer Hal Rosenfeld in 2019—Metz’s current approach reflects caution. Sources close to the actress suggest she met her new partner outside the entertainment industry, though no name has surfaced. Her decision to stay mum has fueled speculation, but also respect for her boundaries.
This reticence carries weight in an era where celebrity romances often double as headlines. Metz’s past—marked by a marriage to Martyn Eaden until 2013, a stint with This Is Us cameraman Josh Stancil, and high-profile splits—has shaped her perspective. Her warmth, evident in roles and interviews, now pairs with a resolve to redefine how she shares love. Observers note this could signal a broader trend among stars craving authenticity over exposure.
As Metz embarks on this romance, her focus remains split between personal growth and professional strides. Her book, a follow-up to When I Talk to God, I Talk About You, explores emotional resilience, mirroring her own journey.
