The duo first met on the sets of Emily in Paris back in 2022, with Norman’s entry slated for season 3. Ashley and he clearly seemed to have a gala time, as evident from the BTS glimpses emerging from sets. While it was all platonic in the beginning, Lily Collins picked up on their ‘more-than-friends’ connection quite early.

After a myriad of speculations, gossip columns as well as netizen chatter, Ashley stamped their relationship with the official seal via an Instagram post. In January 2024, Park landed herself in a health scare that resulted in a critical septic shock. In these troubling times amid her hospitalisations etc, Paul was her closest confidante. Talking about her experience in an Instagram post, Ashley finally confirmed that she’s dating Paul.

“Grateful most of all to @peforman for being unconditionally by my side through all this. You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know,” she wrote and finally stated how much she loved him.

It was followed by Paul reciprocating her declaration of love. Sharing a series of pictures with Ashley on his Instagram, the actor wrote, “By your side, no matter what.”

Following their relationship announcement, Ashley has been vocal about adoration for Forman, both in interviews and on social media. She even shared throwback pictures of the duo from January 2023, one of which shows the duo (almost) stealing kisses while the other one is of Forman pushing Ashley in a wheelchair after she sprained her ankle at Beyoncé’s Dubai concert.

2. Ashley Park and Lucas Bravo

Shocked? Surprised? Yes, we were too. Emily Cooper and our favourite French hottie Gabriel aka Lucas Bravo might’ve had a fling with Ashley Park. Bravo and Park mentioned each other in interviews quite a few times, with the former even being Park’s personal guide, showing her around Paris when she moved to the city for filming. Several Reddit users also pointed out that they were actively commenting on each other’s pictures on Instagram, before pulling the strings in 2022. The two seemingly unfollowed each other on the platform, because of a possible breakup. Who knows.

However, they’re following each other again now, putting an end to their reported rife. As they say, all’s well that ends well.

3. Ashley Park has rumouredly dated Broadway actors too

Back in 2018, Ashley was also linked with Broadway actor Zach Adkins after the duo attended a series of events together. Ashley also visited the Broadway actor in New York to support his work on Anastasia. Nothing was ever confirmed by the duo and currently, they also don’t follow each other on social media.

Ashley Park and Benjamin Tyler Cook

After Adkins, Park found herself caught in relationship rumours again with Benjamin Tyler Cook. The two worked together on Mean Girls The Musical in 2017, and again after the show moved to Broadway in 2018. However, relationship rumours started brewing only in 2019 after fans spotted them posing cosily in pictures and Ashley commenting heart eye emoji on Adkins’ Instagram. Their final red carpet appearance was at the Tony Awards in June 2019. The duo no longer follow each other on Instagram.

So, that’s all for the dating history and relationships of Ashley Park.
