Before her relationship with Wenner, Fanning was romantically linked to Max Minghella, the director of Teen Spirit. They were seen together in London in 2018, which led to rumors about their relationship. The couple kept their romance relatively private but eventually parted ways after a few years. In an interview, Fanning described herself as a “hopeless romantic” and expressed her belief in love at first sight, which seemed to hint at her future with Wenner.
Fanning and Wenner’s romance first made headlines in November 2023, when they were photographed holding hands after a dinner date in New York City. Despite the initial speculation, they kept their relationship out of the public eye for several months. However, on Valentine’s Day 2024, Fanning made their relationship official by posting a photo of Wenner on Instagram, calling him her “Funny Valentine.” This marked the beginning of their more visible presence as a couple.
The couple has been spotted together on several occasions, including at dinner dates and at a New York Knicks game. They also made public appearances at high-profile events like the Met Gala and the Golden Globes, where they appeared as a couple. Their growing relationship continues to capture the attention of fans and the media, as they embrace both their personal lives and their professional success.
