If you haven't noticed, Sofia Carson is kinda having a moment rn. The Netflix romcom queen keeps churning out hit after hit—which of course begs the question: Who is Sofia Carson dating IRL?? Sadly, it doesn't seem like she has an off-screen romance with her My Oxford Year costar, Corey Mylchreest (womp), but she *is* rumored to be seeing someone (more on that later).
Back in May 2019, Sofia told Cosmo that she was currently putting romantic relationships on the back burner. 'I've never tried dating apps,' she said at the time, later adding, 'I'm dating my career.' But perhaps things have changed!
Wanna know more about Sofia's hush-hush love life? Here's who the Descendants alum has been linked to in the past—and who she's currently rumored to be dating.
Yes, Sofia was once rumored to be in a relationship with Modern Family actress Sofía Vergara's son, perhaps fueled by this video Manolo posted of himself bench-pressing Sofia back in 2018:
Or this tweet from 2017:
But tbh, I'm getting friend vibes from these two.
While filming Purple Hearts back in 2022, Sofia once again stirred up romance rumors, this time with her onscreen love interest, Nicholas Galitzine. I mean, the chemistry is undeniable, no?
However! Though the two did plenty of flirting on the press tour, nothing ~romantic~ was ever confirmed between them. Sorry!
Who is Hugh Evans, you ask? He's an Australian humanitarian who's the co-founder of both The Oaktree Foundation and Global Citizen, and he and Sofia first crossed paths (as far as fans know, anyway...) back in 2023, when they teamed up for that year's Global Citizen Festival.
Their relationship seemed totally professional—that is, until May 2025, when a DeuxMoi tipster claimed that Sofia and Hugh were actually an item:
A fan on Reddit also claimed that Sofia joined Hugh at the first Global Citizen NOW action summit in Rio de Janeiro in November 2024...but you'll have to take all of this with a grain of salt, as there is exactly zero evidence to back the claims up.
Whether they're the real deal or not, it seems to me that Sofia's looking to keep her private life under wraps—so I guess I'll just go watch The Life List again!!
