All About Natasha Lyonne's Boyfriend, Bryn Mooser
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in October of that year, Lyonne confirmed the break up when she was asked about whether she still lived in Los Angeles.
'I'm not. I had been there living with Fred and during COVID,' she replied, before joking, 'I honestly think we broke up because I wanted a swimming pool.'
More seriously, she added, 'We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we're still talking all the time. But Freddy doesn't like a swimming pool. It might seem like a mundane reason for a breakup, but during that pandemic, you've got to get your laps—I'm like Burt Lancaster in The Swimmer...So that's the real scandal. I guess I finally am an actual bicoastal.'
Here's everything we know about Bryn Mooser and his relationship with Lyonne so far.
Bryn Mooser is known as a director and producer, but also a business mogul, especially in regards to media companies. The 45-year-old co-founded Ryot, which focuses on documentaries with virtual and augmented reality, according to his IMDb page. He sold the company to Verizon in 2016, then launched another film and TV studio in 2019, XTR, which also focuses on non-fiction content. He became the CEO of Documentary+ in 2020, per SCMP.
Mooser's documentary Body Team 12 won him an Emmy in 2015 and an Oscar nomination for producing. In 2019, he was nominated at the Oscars again for the documentary Lifeboat.
Mooser also launched A.I. animation company Asteria Film with Lyonne in 2022, which they both claim is ethically sourced A.I.
The pair knew of one another at least as early as 2022, in order to found their company. But rumors that Lyonne and Mooser were dating popped up in 2023, according to the Daily Mail. That was the year they started making appearances at red carpet events, including Macaulay Culkin's Walk of Fame ceremony, followed by the 2024 Golden Globes, the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards, the SNL 50th Anniversary Special, the Chanel Pre-Oscar Awards Dinner, and Vanity Fair's Golden Globe party.
At the ISAs, Lyonne told photographers, 'I think I will take a boyfriend picture, thank you so much,' inviting Moser to pose with her.

Emily Makes a Long-Awaited Return in 'The Handmaid's Tale' Series Finale
Spoilers below. The Handmaid's Tale has put us through the wringer throughout its final season (and the whole series, really), but luckily, not all of the surprises have been brutal. In this week's season 6 finale—the show's final episode—June (Elisabeth Moss) and viewers at home were treated to Emily's (Alexis Bledel) shocking but welcome return. The character, who was introduced in the show's first season, was written off after season 4 when Bledel stepped away from the series. In season 5, Emily's wife, Sylvia (Clea DuVall), tells June that Emily returned to Gilead on a personal mission to seek revenge and find Aunt Lydia. Since then, she's been missing in action, until this week's finale scene, where Emily and June reunite and take a walk together in a freed Boston. 'It was an immediate yes,' Bledel told The Hollywood Reporter of returning to Handmaid's for the finale. 'It felt right to bring closure to Emily's journey and offer the audience a sense of completion. Bruce put together such a kind and talented group, and so many of the original crew were still there in season six. The production runs like a well-oiled machine — everyone brings their best. I'm excited to see what they create in [sequel series] The Testaments.' Bledel added, 'I hope viewers take away to keep hope alive when things seem impossible. Even if it seems like seeds you plant couldn't possibly grow, plant seeds of hope anyway. You never know; they might find a way.' The actress announced her departure from The Handmaid's Tale in May 2022, ahead of the season 5 premiere. 'After much thought, I felt I had to step away from 'The Handmaid's Tale' at this time,' she told Variety in a statement. 'I am forever grateful to Bruce Miller for writing such truthful and resonant scenes for Emily, and to Hulu, MGM, the cast and crew for their support.' At the time, Moss told Entertainment Tonight that Bledel's exit 'wasn't the easiest thing in the world to handle, I'll be honest with you, because she's such a great, fantastic part of the show. But I do think that it was handled in a really good way.' Years later, the star, director, and executive producer opened up about bringing Bledel—and Emily—back to Handmaid's for its emotional conclusion. 'Bruce talked to me about bringing her back a while ago, before there was even an outline or script,' Moss told THR. 'I think I said to him at the time, 'You realize now that you've told me that, we have to do it.' It's not the easiest thing in the world to call an actor and be like, 'Can you come back for this one episode?' They're busy. But I was like, 'She has to do it.' I get very passionate about these things! And she wanted to do it from the beginning. She didn't need convincing at all. My first official scene on day one [on set] was with Alexis. So it meant a lot to get to work with her again.' That surprise cameo meant a lot to fans, too. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
