Does Evan Peters Have a Girlfriend? A Closer Look at His Dating History

Evan Peters may have impressed fans with his portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer—by far one of his most intense roles yet. But did you know that the actor was originally looking to star in a rom-com?

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the 35-year-old star wanted to play someone "normal." And given his history with playing more sinister characters, we'd definitely love to see the actor showcase his range in a fun romance flick. Until then, though, we're taking a deep dive into the actor's relationships off the screen. For example, what is Evan Peters's girlfriend status IRL? Keep reading to see his dating history.

1. What is Evan Peters’s dating status?

Since the actor hasn't publicly confirmed whether or not he's seeing someone, we're assuming that he's single (for now). However, the American Horror Story star has previously opened up about what he's looking for: a girl who's willing to give him second chances.

In 2015, Peters told Cosmopolitan, “If I say the wrong thing or do something stupid or fumble or spill s*** on my shirt, she’s OK with it. She’s cool with that and will give me another chance to say the right thing, and get past my nerves and insecurity.”

He added, "Gotta give a guy a chance, essentially. There are a lot of girls out there who don’t really want to do that. But there are a lot of girls out there who do, and those are the ones—the only ones—I can really go for." Speaking of, here's a glimpse of his past relationships.

2. Pixie Geldof

Peters was first spotted holding hands with the singer at Coachella in 2010, which immediately sparked dating rumors. Not much is known about their romance, but they reportedly split up in 2011.

3. Alexia Quinn

Peters and Quinn first crossed paths in 2011 when they worked together on the play Living at Home. They started dating later that year, but then broke up in 2012—around the same time that Peters started filming Adult World.

4. Emma Roberts

Peters had an on-again, off-again relationship that started in 2012, soon after they met on the set of their film, Adult World. In 2014, Peters proposed to Roberts, but by the following year, they ended the engagement.

Still, just two months later, the pair rekindled their romance and went Instagram official in March 2016. But in May, they called it quits for a second time. Six months later, the two got together once again. And after a few more break ups (and make ups), they parted ways for good in 2019.

5. Halsey

Fun fact: Halsey had a major crush on Peters for years, and she even Tweeted about it back in 2013. She wrote, "Petition for Evan Peters to date me." And in another tweet, she wrote, "I just want cookies and Evan Peters."

Sure enough, the artist eventually got her wish, because in October 2019, the couple made their red carpet debut at American Horror Story's 100th Episode—mere weeks after they were first spotted together.

Unfortunately though, their romance was short-lived. In March 2020, Halsey deleted all traces of the actor from her Instagram feed, leading fans to believe that they called it quits.
