Elle Fanning Shares a Birthday Tribute to Boyfriend Gus Wenner
For the uninitiated, Elle Fanning was in a longtime relationship with The Handmaid’s Tale actor Max Minghella. The actress confirmed their split in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in April 2023. Despite the breakup, Fanning revealed that it hasn’t changed her mindset on love.
“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 said.
Fanning has since moved on from her previous relationship and is currently dating magazine executive Gus Wenner.
