Stranger Things: who are the partners of the protagonists in real life?

In Stranger Things the main course is the supernatural, but the recipe would not be so successful without that pinch of attention paid to human relationships, both friendship and love.

We have the most mature couple made up of Hopper and Joycewilling to die for each other, the distant couple formed by Eleven and Mike with some communication problems, Max and Lucas who bring out the best of each other and then the two factions: Nancy and Steve or Nancy and Jonathan? Personally I am team Steve, he has matured a lot and deserves a second chance, with him Nancy has much more complicity!

Anyway… as much as we’d like to think that pairs of Stranger Things are the endgame even in real life, obviously not so. Love off the set, however, is certainly not lacking.

That’s who their irl partners are.

WINONA RYDER

Even if, in our imagination, Winona is still a steady couple with Johnny Depp, in reality between the two is over for a lifetime. After other relations with the singer Dave Pirner and the actor Matt Damonit seems that Winona found in thesustainable fashion entrepreneur Scott Mackinlay his soul mate. The two are in fact together since 2011 and they have a very private relationship.

DAVID HARBOR

Our Hopper is brave in love even in real life: if in the series he is willing to fight monsters for his her, in everyday life he asks an Elvis impersonator to marry him with the singer Lily Allen in an intimate ceremony… guess where? Well yes, just a Las Vegas. The after party was pretty in line with the character too: nothing glamorous, sandwiches from In-N-Out and go.

NATALIA DYER AND CHARLIE HEATON

If I’m team Steve in the series, I have to admit that in real life they are fans of the couple Natalia and Charlie. Off the set there seems to be much more chemistry between the two.

In 2019 she said: “It’s interesting to work with someone you then go home with. It is funny”. Well, surely you always have a comfortable ride in the car. Not bad.

MILLIE BOBBY BROWN

Millie is engaged to the twenty-year-old son of Bon Jovi: Jake Bongiovi. From what he reveals on social media and on the red carpet, he seems to be finally over the moon and has left behind a bad toxic experience with an ex (not worthy of mention) who had told intimate details live on IG to taunt Millie with friends , while the actress was still a minor at the time. In short, a true gentleman. I recommend Jake, treat us well!

GATEN MATARAZZO

Gaten is in a relationship with hers Lizzy Yu for 4 years: a rather important milestone if you consider that the actor is only 19 years old. Who knows if that between the two will be one Never Ending Story like the one between Dustin and the brilliant Suzie in the series.

JOE KEERY

At the moment our Steve seems to be a steady couple with Maika Monroe. The two did not make the relationship official on their respective social networks, but they always appeared together with the most important events.

Joe and Maika first met in 2017 on the set of the film After Everything.

MAYA HAWKE

If Robin in the series is in love with her classmate Tammy Thompson and struggles to understand her intentions and declare herself, in real life she has instead won her crush. Maya is in fact with the musician Spencer Barnett, who also accompanied her to the last Parisian fashion week.

DEAR GOOD

If in the series Karen Wheeler has a slightly frivolous and unaware character when it comes to feelings, in real life Cara Buono is definitely more stable and is married for 10 years to businessman Peter Thum.

SADIE SINK

Sadie, like her character Max, doesn’t show much of her feelings, she tends to want to protect her privacy. A paparazzata, however, has started rumors about one probable relationship with Patrick Alwyn, the brother of Joe Alwyn, the boyfriend of Taylor Swift. So… Sadie’s appearance in Taylor’s short film for the song All Too Well was it an artistic collaboration between sisters-in-law ?!

FINN WOLFHARD

In June 2021 Finn confirmed his relationship with the actress Elsie Richter publishing a shot of them on IG. From that moment on, however some fans showed morbid attention towards the girl and the new relationship. The photo was deleted and the two they continued their story privately.

Now though Finn is suspected of being single againgiven her absence from the premiere of Stranger Things 4 and no mutual exposure on social media. Simple caution or final end of their story?
