Chrissy Metz revealed she is officially off the market! The This Is Us actress shared that she is currently dating someone new in a rare update about her very private love life.

“And what’s the intention of talking about it and sharing it?” the actress continued. “I am just being very cautious and careful.”

She was previously in a relationship with Bradley Collins for nearly four years before announcing their breakup in October 2023.

“After three and a half years together, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship amicably,” the former couple wrote in a joint statement shared on Instagram at the time. “While we continue to love each other very much, we believe this is the best path for us both. We still have books to write, songs to sing, and a special friendship to keep us in each other’s lives forever.”

Before their split, they collaborated together on their debut children’s book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About You. It became a New York Times bestseller. Their second children’s book together, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings, is out now. She spoke about what it was like working with Bradley on the project after their breakup.

“Any collaborative art is always so hard. Because you’re like, ‘Well, I have this idea,’ and trying to meld it together. I think we did a great job with that. I think that it’s cool because we both have different, obviously, experiences when we were young. You can lend his experience to my experience,” the American Horror Story alum explained.

“It was also one of those things where we were transitioning out of our romantic relationship into friendship when we put in our second draft,” she continued. “And it was cool because I was like, ‘Oh, in real time, we’re assessing our feelings. We’re actually so meta. It’s helping us.’ I think everything happens as it’s supposed to. It was not lost on me. I was like, ‘Oh, OK. What can I glean from this?’”

Amid the release of the first book, Chrissy spoke to Closer about the experience of working on the project with Bradley.

“I taught preschool. The kids always used to love to sing, and they loved us reading stories to them,” she said in June 2023 of the collaboration. “The book’s foundation is a gentle introduction to prayer, so a children’s album just felt like a natural extension. The songs are all about bolstering young minds and hearts with encouragement, self-esteem and unconditional love. Like my grandmother always said, ‘Singing is like praying twice.’ I love that.”
