Season 3 of Emily in Paris is finally here. If you've been counting down the days 'til you get to see more chic outfits and love scenes play out in the City of Lights, you're definitely not alone. With the twisted love triangles of the past season still on everyone's mind, it makes sense to have some questions about Lily Collins’ real life love.
As it turns out, Lily has been happily married to Charlie McDowell for a year now. The two got hitched between filming for seasons 1 and 2. And these two nepotism babies—Lily is the daughter of Phil Collins and Charlie is the son of Mary Steenburgen and Malcolm McDowell, and the stepson of Ted Danson—have been happily enjoying married life since September 2021.
Before you binge Emily in Paris (again) in preparation for season 3, learn all about Emily’s IRL man. Read on to find out who Charlie is, what he does, how they met, and his net worth.
What is Charlie McDowell's job?
Like his wife, Charlie is in the entertainment biz. He's a television and film director, producer, and writer who frequently works with his family in his projects. Charlie is credited as a director of The One I Love (2014), starring his stepfather, The Discovery (2017), starring his mother, Dear White People (2017-2018), and Windfall (2022), starring his own wife, Lily, per IMDb. He’s was also a writer on The Discovery and a writer and producer on Windfall, in addition to serving as the executive producer on The One I Love.
“Honestly, it was so easy working together,” Lily told Vogue Australia in November 2021 of working with Charlie on Windfall.
How old is Charlie McDowell?
Charlie was born on July 10, 1983, in Los Angeles, per IMDb, making him 39 years old. (Lily is 33.)
When did Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell meet?
Lily and Charlie met on the set of his film, Gilded Rage, in 2019, PEOPLE reported. They were first spotted together that summer in Los Feliz with their arms wrapped around each other, according to photos from the Daily Mail. And the rest was history!
And overall, they’re pretty low-key.
Lily posted a picture on the ‘gram of her leaning against someone’s back, captioning it “Always got your back…” in August of 2019, but she didn’t really make it IG-official until April 2020, when she posted a picture hugging Charlie.
These days, Lily posts a lot about her work, and gets in the occasional couple/fam pic, as does Charlie. (But more on that later!)
He has a dog (with his own IG!).
Charlie adopted a dog, Redford, in December 2019 from Love Leo Rescue, per PEOPLE. He hard-launched the pup on Redford’s own Instagram, posting a cute pic of him in his arms, captioning it, “Going home.” Charlie posts photos of Redford at the beach, napping, and traveling with his parents. Follow the rest of their cute adventures at @redforddog and join his almost 80,000 (and growing) followers!
He supports her on-set of Emily in Paris.
Literally. He’d visit her and they’d explore Paris together, Lily shared on Live with Kelly and Ryan. (What’s more romantic than that?) "He did come out a few times. And we did roam the streets and get lost on the cobblestone alleyways a few times," she said. "I miss that the most. The idea of being in Paris, taking a scooter, going to museums, eating and even taking the Eurostar to London and Bruges.”
And Charlie has got the pics to prove it. He posted in December of last year when season 2 of Emily in Paris came out.
“Today season 2 of Emily in Paris is out on Netflix. This show is made with such care and love from everyone involved. All to make you laugh and put a smile on your face,” he wrote. “I will forever be in awe of my wife’s hard work, commitment, and kindness she shows EVERY SINGLE DAY. If she wanted to be a cult leader she easily could but I’m glad she’s playing Emily instead. Happy binging.” (Redford also supports it, BTW, in cute posts like this one.)
But sweet doesn’t even begin to describe the note he wrote her on her first day of filming season three of Emily in Paris, PEOPLE shared. “Have a great first day, Emily,” he wrote. “You show those high heels who’s boss!”
What is Charlie McDowell’s net worth?
Outlets have reported a variety of ranges for Charlie’s net worth—The U.S. Sun wrote that it was $1.1 million in September 2021 and The Focus wrote that it’s between $1 million and $3 million. So, the jury is still out on this one!
