Chrissy Metz, the 44-year-old actress best known for her heartwarming role as Kate Pearson on This Is Us, has officially confirmed she’s dating someone new in 2025, but she’s keeping the details under wraps for now. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly on April 10, 2025, while promoting her second children’s book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings, Chrissy opened up about her new romance with a refreshingly private approach.
She joked about the “definition of insanity” being doing the same thing and expecting different results, then added, “I think I want to just keep it very private and enjoy it.” She didn’t reveal her new partner’s name, but she made it clear she’s feeling “very, very good” about where things are headed. This cautious optimism comes after her three-and-a-half-year relationship with Bradley Collins, which ended amicably in October 2023.

Chrissy and Bradley’s relationship was a whirlwind of creativity and collaboration, starting when they met on a dating app during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Their connection was instant, and they quickly became inseparable, both romantically and professionally. In early 2023, they released their first children’s book together, When I Talk to God, I Talk About You, which became a New York Times bestseller. The book was a faith-based project blending their personal experiences, and it resonated with families everywhere.
Even after their breakup later that year, they continued working together, finishing their second book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings, which hit shelves in April 2025. Chrissy described the process as “meta,” explaining how writing about emotions helped them navigate their own transition from lovers to friends. She emphasized the importance of respect, saying, “Just because someone’s not your forever person doesn’t mean you kick them out of your life.”

Before Bradley, Chrissy’s love life included a marriage to British journalist Martyn Eaden from 2008 to 2015, a relationship with This Is Us cameraman Josh Stancil from 2016 to 2018, and a romance with composer Hal Rosenfeld from 2018 to 2020. But her time with Bradley stood out because of their deep creative partnership. They didn’t just write books together; Bradley also contributed to her 2023 album, Prayed for This Day, and their shared passion for uplifting storytelling kept them close even after their split.
Chrissy has always been open about her faith, and that spiritual foundation shines through in her work, whether she’s writing children’s books or singing on stage at Disney’s Candlelight Processional, where she guest-narrated in 2023 and 2024.
Now, in 2025, Chrissy is stepping into a new chapter of love, and she’s doing it on her own terms. She hasn’t dropped any hints about who the mystery person is, but she’s clearly learned from past relationships. She told Us Weekly, “I’m just being very cautious and careful,” and it’s easy to see why. After all, she’s been through marriages, breakups, and everything in between, and she’s come out of it all with a clear sense of what she wants.
She’s also staying busy with her career. Aside from her books, she competed as “Poodle Moth” on The Masked Singer in 2024, made it to the quarterfinals, and even got saved by Rita Ora after a knockout round. She’s also set to star in the upcoming series The Hunting Wives as Starr, proving she’s far from slowing down.
