Wondering who (if anyone) is Hailee Steinfeld's boyfriend? You're not alone on that one, as the actress/singer is keeping her romantic life very much on the DL—but is she dating anyone right now? Here's what we know about her relationships, past and present...

For anyone who's clued up on Niall Horan's girlfriend history, you'll know that the former One Direction band member and Pitch Perfect actress famously dated back in 2018. Since then though, things have been a little quiet on the Hailee dating front, with the Starving songstress seemingly not giving much away about her current romantic sitch.

So, here's an investigation into sheer dress trendsetter Hailee's love life, past and present—from whether she's currently single to who she's been linked to previously...

Hailee Steinfeld boyfriend: is she dating anyone right now?

Much like that of Selena Gomez's dating history and Sabrina Carpenter's boyfriend news, sadly there's not a ton to go on.

As far as we can tell, Hailee Steinfeld is single. In fact, the last person she's been publically linked to was her ex, Niall Horan, back in 2018. Since then, she's been keeping her love life out of the public eye, which is unsurprising as she actually told US Weekly in 2018: "I am a very private person. I do love that I have the opportunity to share with [fans] what I’m comfortable with and they’re there to listen and support me."

So for now, it seems we have no new Hailee boyfriend news, but we do have a new single called 'Sunkissing' to play on full blast!

Hailee Steinfeld's dating history

So, while we sussed out Hailee's current dating sitch, who has she been linked to previously?

While he's known as one of the best smelling in the biz (yes, we know Niall Horan's cologne of choice), the Slow Hands singer also famously dated Hailee in 2018, after sparking dating rumors in 2017 with an Insta tribute to her.

They dated for a few months, after seemingly confirming their relationship in August 2018, when they were snapped kissing while out and about in LA. 

Alas though, they split in December of that same year with a source telling US Weekly: "Niall wrapped up his tour and had more free time, but Hailee’s work schedule really ramped up, so they didn’t have time for a relationship. They still have a lot of love for each other."

Before her relationship with Niall, Hailee also dated Cameron Smoller, who according to Daily Mail, is the younger brother of Anthony 'Cully' Smoller—a close friend of model Gigi Hadid. 

The pair dated in 2017, making their red carpet debut on January 6, 2017 at the W Magazine Celebration of the Best Performances Portfolio. They seemingly split in November of the same year, though their breakup timeline is a little hazy.

Hailee was also linked to singer Charlie Puth in 2015 after they were spotted hanging out at the American Music Awards, though neither artist ever confirmed the dating rumors.
