Dylan Efron’s love life has officially been taken off the market, and fans of The Traitors are feeling all kinds of emotions about it. For those who have been following his journey—whether as Zac Efron’s younger brother, an adventure enthusiast, or a reality TV star—the question of his relationship status has been a hot topic.
But now, Dylan has made it clear: he’s been in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Courtney King. And no, she’s not some influencer looking for fame—she’s a private person with a 40-hour-a-week job who prefers to stay behind the scenes while cheering him on from the sidelines.
Who Is Dylan Efron’s Girlfriend, Courtney King? Inside Their Blissful Relationship
Dylan first gave the world a glimpse into his romance with Courtney back in October 2016, when she appeared on his Instagram. While it’s unclear exactly when their relationship began, that post was a signal that they had been together for quite some time before going public. Growing up in the same hometown, their relationship blossomed away from the Hollywood spotlight, which is likely why it’s lasted for so many years. Even though Dylan is now a reality TV star, thanks to The Traitors, Courtney has managed to stay out of the limelight, and he respects that.
When Dylan sat down with Nick Viall and Natalie Joy on The Viall Files podcast on March 7, 2025, he finally spoke about Courtney and their future together. “She knows the answer,” he said when asked about marriage, hinting that an engagement is definitely on the horizon. But there’s no pressure—Courtney isn’t the type to impose deadlines. At 33, Dylan is taking things at his own pace, but he’s also looking ahead to the “next chapter,” which includes marriage and kids. Having younger half-siblings, Olivia and Henry, has given him a deeper appreciation for family, and he’s eager to experience fatherhood himself.

Despite her preference for privacy, Courtney has had a significant influence on Dylan’s life—especially when it comes to reality TV. While he’s always been a fan of Survivor, it was Courtney who introduced him to The Viall Files podcast and even encouraged him to go on The Traitors. According to Dylan, she believed his personality would win people over, just like it did with her.
And she was right—Dylan became a fan favorite on the show and even ended up as one of the winners of Season 3, taking home part of the $204,300 prize. But even with his newfound reality TV fame, nothing has changed in their relationship. “She’s always been my number one support,” he told E! News on March 8, 2025.
Their relationship isn’t just built on TV preferences—they share a love for adventure. Dylan frequently posts about their travels and outdoor escapades, including rock climbing in Joshua Tree. He proudly shared that Courtney is a “trooper” who can keep up with his adrenaline-fueled lifestyle. Whether they’re hiking, boating, or getting covered in mud on an outdoor expedition, they always find ways to enjoy life together.
And while Dylan has a deep love for the outdoors, he did joke in a Cosmopolitan interview that a camping trip isn’t exactly the best first date idea. “No one’s at their best when they’re camping,” he said. “We’re all smelly, we are all gross.” But clearly, Courtney isn’t afraid to rough it out with him.
Like any couple, they have their little disagreements—mostly about what to listen to before bed. Dylan shared on The Viall Files that they argue over audiobooks, with Courtney preferring one thing and him wanting another. “We both agree that we can listen to Viall Files, but otherwise, I have things I want to listen to that she doesn’t want to, so we fight over that quite a bit.”
But they’ve managed to make things work, especially after moving in together. According to Dylan, giving themselves more space has only strengthened their relationship, and they’ve found a balance when it comes to household chores—Courtney does more of the cooking, and he picks up the slack with cleaning.
While Courtney remains a bit of a mystery to the public, she has played a huge role in shaping Dylan’s journey. From supporting his reality TV stint to being the one behind some of his viral Instagram thirst traps (yes, she’s the one taking those steamy beach photos), she’s been by his side every step of the way. And now, as Dylan steps into this next phase of his life, it’s clear that Courtney is an irreplaceable part of his story.
Dylan Efron’s Public Dating History Is Almost Non-Existent
Dylan’s dating history isn’t filled with many public romances. The only other person he was ever rumored to be with was Stella Hudgens, the younger sister of Vanessa Hudgens, back in 2010. But that was never officially confirmed.

With Courtney, though, there’s no doubt—she’s been his partner for years, and if his recent comments are any indication, she’ll be his wife in the future. So for all the fans who had hopes of winning over the reality star, it’s time to accept the heartbreak. Dylan Efron is officially taken, and from the way he talks about Courtney, it doesn’t look like that’s changing anytime soon.
