All About ‘The Abandons’ Cast & Their Real-Life Loves: Lena Headey & More
Netflix’s new western drama, The Abandons, is all about the clash between the wealthy Van Ness family, led by Gillian Anderson‘s Constance, and a found family of orphans, put together by Lena Headey‘s Fiona. There’s plenty of murder and revenge as the groups go head-to-head, but the show also features a star-crossed love. Even in the midst of such chaos, there’s always time for love.
Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, Lucas Till, and more star alongside the iconic actresses. When we’re offered any cast as stacked as The Abandons, we naturally start to wonder about the actors’ off-screen romances in addition to what’s happening in their characters’ love lives. If you’ve found yourself curious about Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey’s real-life partners, whether or not Nick Robinson is single, and more, you’ve come to the right place. Swooon has all the latest on the ensemble’s dating lives and romantic histories below.
The Abandons, Season 1, December 4, Netflix
Lena Headey
Lena Headey is off the market! She married Ozark actor Marc Menchaca in 2022 (and a number of her Game of Thrones costars were in attendance at the ceremony). Headey never publicly confirmed the change in their relationship status, but photos of her big day circulated online. The couple was first linked in 2020.
The actress has had a few relationships before her latest. She was married to Peter Loughran from 2007 to 2012, during which they had one son together. Three years later, Headey gave birth to her daughter, who was fathered by her then-boyfriend, director Dan Cadan. They got engaged in 2018 and eventually spli, which was confirmed in 2019.
Gillian Anderson
Gillian Anderson’s love life has been of interest to the public ever since her X-Files days. The actress was last known to have been dating The Crown creator Peter Morgan. They’ve been together since 2016, though they took a break from their relationship in 2020. Anderson and Morgan were at the 2024 Emmys together, which fueled reconciliation rumors.
Anderson has been married in the past. In fact, it was on The X-Files set that she met her first husband, production designer Clyde Klotz. Three years after tying the knot and having a daughter in 1994, they divorced.
Anderson divorced her second husband, documentary producer Julian Ozanne, after a little over a year of marriage in 2007. It was a few months later that she and her then-partner, Mark Griffiths, announced that they were expecting a son. After welcoming another son in 2008, Anderson and Griffiths broke up in 2012, having never married.
Lucas Till
Lucas Till, who plays Garret Van Ness, keeps his love life private for the most part, including his marriage to Disney Channel alum Skyler Samuels. They wed and had a baby in 2024. In May of that year, the actress spoke about becoming a mother to OK! Magazine.
Michiel Huisman
He doesn’t speak about his love life often, but Michiel Huisman has been married to his wife, Tara Elders, since 2008. He’s occasionally posted his wife on social media, and in 2025, the New York Post confirmed that they were still together when the couple put their NYC apartment on the market. In a 2015 interview with InStyle, Huisman confirmed they also share a daughter.
Nick Robinson
Nick Robinson, who plays Elias Teller, isn’t known to be dating anyone currently. Most recently, the Love, Simon actor was with musician Samantha Urbani. They started dating in 2019, after they were introduced through mutual friends and felt a spark during a game of spin the bottle, per Urbani’s Instagram. They appear to have broken up sometime in 2022, though Robinson supported his ex when she released an album in 2023, via Instagram post.
Diana Silvers
Diana Silvers, who stars as Dahlia Teller in The Abandons, hasn’t revealed whether she’s currently in a relationship. She most recently was in a relationship with musician Dominic Fike. They spoke about their romance in a 2021 GQ interview. “We’re in a full-blown relationship,” she said. “On our first date, we talked about Paul McCartney, and I hadn’t talked about Paul in so long or The Beatles. It kind of manifested the Paul [collaboration].”
They never publicly confirmed their breakup, but it was sometime before Fike started dating his Euphoria costar Hunter Schafer in early 2022.
Lamar Johnson
There are no signs of a significant other on Lamar Johnson‘s social media, so it’s possible that The Last of Us actor, who stars as Albert Mason in The Abandons, is single. He also hasn’t spoken publicly about his relationships since stepping into the spotlight.
Natalia del Riego
Natalia del Riego hasn’t shared her relationship status, though there’s no mention of a partner on her social media. So, there’s a chance that the 24-year-old actress, who plays Lilla Belle, is single, unless she’s choosing to keep her dating life private.
Aisling Franciosi
Like several of her costars, Aisling Franciosi‘s relationship status is unknown. The Abandons star, who plays Trisha Van Ness, doesn’t have any social media that could give us a hint. However, in a 2019 interview with Vogue, she mentioned having a “Calabrian boyfriend” that she would “speak and cook Italian” with.
Toby Hemingway
Toby Hemingway hasn’t revealed if he’s taken or not, and there isn’t much information out there about his romantic history. In 2010, he was rumored to have been dating Taylor Swift after starring in her “Mine” music video, but it was never confirmed.
Michael Greyeyes
Michael Greyeyes has been married to Nancy Latoszewski, a former professional dancer, for decades. They share two daughters.
