Fact of life: Everyone loves a good showmance, which is why the Regretting You press tour had the internet positively spiraling. For months, the film’s stars Mckenna Grace and Mason Thames teased fans about whether or not they were dating in real life with their flirty off-screen behavior…but now it seems that, at long last, they’ve officially hard-launched their relationship.

And by hard-launched, I mean Mckenna brought Mason as her date to the biggest night in Hollywood, the 2026 Oscars.

June 2025

Mckenna and Mason first spark dating rumors after they’re photographed holding hands while spending time together in New York City. I mean...

Later, Mason chats with Seventeen and has nothing but good things to say about Mckenna calling her “one of the most driven people I’ve ever met in my life” and “one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

When asked how it feels to have so many people speculating about their relationship (particularly after *that* TikTok) he says, “Yeah, it is strange. But I’ve always sort of been off the internet. I’ve always kind of kept everything to myself and been very personal. Having people speculate so much, especially having mutual friends texting me and asking…it’s wild. I’m still not used to it.”

August 2025

Mason celebrates his birthday...with Grace! As he explains to People, “I was home back in Texas and I got like a little birthday week and Mckenna was also there, and that was really nice. We spent that together and I spent some time with my family and some of my best friends, and it was nice. It was chill.”

Of Mckenna, he adds, “She’s so funny and such a nice person, so she gels with everybody.” Asked about their experiencing filming together, he continues to gush, “I've never met somebody with a work ethic like hers. She pushes herself every day harder and harder and she’s so incredibly talented. So just watching that, it really motivates me.”
