Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer had a date night in the upside down.
The pair, who began their relationship in 2017, stepped out for a rare outing for the opening night of Stranger Things on Broadway April 22. Keeping it chic for their date night under the lights, Natalia, 30, wore a green shirt and black skirt, while Charlie, 31, rocked a loose-fit pinstripe suit.
Natalia (who plays Nancy Wheeler) and Charlie (who plays Jonathan Beyers) were seen posing arm-in-arm on the red carpet. And after getting some shots together, the couple posed with fellow Stranger Things costars Jamie Campbell Bower, Noah Schnapp, Priah Ferguson, Cara Buono, Brett Gelman and Matthew Modine.
On the other hand, a few costars appeared to have been MIA from the red carpet of the Broadway premiere including Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Joe Kerry, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo and Millie Bobby Brown (who is filming the latest season of Elona Holmes).
Charlie and Natalia’s date night comes two months after they appeared together during London Fashion Week at the Burberry Winter 2025 show. Prior to their big night out, the private couple were seen together at the Brooklyn Artists Ball hosted in Brooklyn, N.Y., by Dior in April 2023.
And while fans will see the last of Nancy and Jonathan’s romance with the end of Stranger Things—after five seasons—this year, the pair’s offscreen love is still stronger than ever.
“It’s an interesting thing to work with somebody who you go home with,” Natalia told Refinery 29 in 2019. “It’s always really fun. We’re really comfortable with each other, so we can play and feel more free, and we can talk about it before.”

Millie Bobby Brown
Millie’s relationship with Jake Bongiovi—the son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi— dates back to at least June 2021, when Jake posted a photo of the couple on Instagram with the caption “bff <3.”
After making their red carpet debut as a couple at the BAFTA Film Awards in March 2022, the two proved that their fashion sense was in sync when they stepped out to Stranger Things‘ season four premiere in May wearing matching black-and-white ensembles. And later that month, Millie posted a throwback photo of Jake hanging out with her Stranger Things co-star Finn Wolfhard on set, proving that her man has her work family’s stamp of appoval.
Millie announced her engagement to Jake in April 2023, posting a photo of the two sharing a laugh while the actress wore a diamond sparkler on her wedding ring finger. She captioned the snap with lyrics from “Lover” by Taylor Swift: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.”
The couple tied the knot in May 2024.
We rate this relationship an 11 out 10.
Finn Wolfhard
Finn isn’t lacking in the love department himself! The actor is currently dating actress Elsie Richter, though the two keep their relationship very private. In a November 2021 interview with The Washington Post, Finn said a fan threatened to expose Elsie’s address unless Finn confirmed their relationship. He was forced to comply.
“They’re like, ‘Oh, OK, I’m so sorry. We love her,’ ” he told the paper. “It all fades literally once you’re like, ‘Hey, calm down. It’s cool. I’m a real person.’ It’s almost like a trance or something. Maybe it’s a power thing.”
Most notably, Elsie appeared in seven episodes of the HBO series Doll & Em.
Finn and Elsie have been together since mid-2021.
Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton
Love blossomed in Hawkins!
Natalia, who plays Nancy Wheeler, and Charlie, who plays Jonathan Byers, have been linked since 2017 when they made their red carpet debut at The Fashion Awards in London.
Their characters are intrinsically linked, which has led for plenty of on-screen time together, which Natalia doesn’t take for granted.
“It’s always really fun. We’re really comfortable with each other, so we can play and feel more free, and we can talk about it before,” she told Refinery29 in 2019. “There’s that sense of who knows if you’ll ever work together with this person ever again? Who knows? This might be your only chance to play like this.”
Despite the fact they’ve been public about their relationship, don’t expect the couple to put everything on display. “Some people are very good about being open and sharing,” Natalia told Cosmopolitan in May 2022, “and other people feel a little more comfortable holding some things for themselves.”
Gaten Matarazzo
Gaten, who plays Dustin, has been dating girlfriend Lizzy Yu for more than four years. He made note of their anniversary with a cute Instagram post on March 7, posting a picture of Lizzy captioned: “Four years? That’s dope. I love you. Thanks for being my best friend. Happy anniversary goob.”
In May 2021, the couple attended prom together! Gaten posted a photo on Instagram of the couple all dressed up with caption: “Got to go to prom with this goober. Thanks for letting me tag along broski. Love you”
Gaten and Lizzy live together in New Jersey—with three cats!—which was revealed in a May 2022 interview with Esquire. Lizzy is an actress herself and will soon appear in Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation.
Joe Keery
Joe dated It Follows actress Maika Monroe from 2017 to 2022. The two broke up around the time he wrapped filming in Rome for Finally Dawn.
“It’s a weird job, being an actor,” Joe he told Variety. “You fly to a random place, move your whole life and that is basically your new life for the next six months.”
He continued, “I had also gone through a big breakup, right as I was leaving Rome, so I was really isolated and focused on my work.”
The actor was spotted packing PDA with Chase Sui Wonders in October 2023.
Maya Hawke
Maya, who joined Stranger Things as Robin in season three, has been dating musician Spencer Barnett since early 2022. The two were spotted celebrating Valentine’s Day together in New York City and were seen in Paris together later in the month.
Maya previously dated actor Tom Sturridge.
Noah Schnapp
While there were rumblings that Noah, who plays Will Byers, dated Millie in the early days of the show, the two appear to simply be the best of friends. In February 2022, Noah posted a series of photos from Millie’s 18th birthday party on Instagram, which included shots of Millie’s boyfriend Jake.
He came out as gay in January 2023, noting in a TikTok video that his friends and family were unfazed when they learned of his sexuality. “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years,” he recalled, “and all they said was ‘we know.'”
At the moment, Noah appears to be single.
Caleb McLaughlin
In an interview with Wired in 2021, Caleb, who plays Lucas, said he was single.
However, Caleb maintained that he’s always going to keep things close to the vest. “If I’m actually dating someone, if I’m in a relationship,” he said, “you wouldn’t know.”
