Every After fan knows Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Hardin Scott, the intense, brooding hero whose love story with Tessa Young had millions shipping on screen. But once the cameras stop rolling and the After trailer hype cools off, one question always pops up: who is Hero Fiennes Tiffin dating in real life? Let’s break down the facts fans are actually sure about.
1. He’s Currently Single — Officially
Despite years of fan speculation and constant shipping between him and co-star Josephine Langford, Hero Fiennes Tiffin does not have a confirmed girlfriend. In a 2019 interview with ELLE, he revealed that he had never been in what he would call a proper romantic relationship, and had never had a girl he could call his girlfriend.
Since then, he’s kept his personal life extremely private. There’s been no public confirmation of a relationship, no Instagram partner posts, and no shared outings with someone he publicly labels as “his.”
2. Josephine Langford Rumors Debunked
Let’s clear the biggest misconception: Hero and Josephine Langford are not dating in real life. The chemistry they share on screen as Hardin and Tessa has fueled massive shipping online, red carpet speculation, and endless fan hope — but both actors have consistently denied anything beyond friendship. Josephine even joked in an interview that “fans will ship anything,” and Hero’s own comments about being single at the time make it clear their relationship is strictly professional.
They are close friends and have worked together for years, but they’ve never confirmed a romantic relationship.
3. Rumors and Speculation — But Nothing Confirmed
Over time there have been rumors linking him to other names — including brief social media sightings with people like model Chanal Benjilali — but none of those connections were ever officially confirmed by Hero himself.
Crucially, without confirmation from Hero or an official representative, these remain fan speculation, not verified relationships.
4. Why Fans Care So Much
Part of the fascination with Hero’s love life comes from how convincing his on-screen romances have been. Hardin Scott was passionate, flawed, dramatic, and unforgettable — and many fans couldn’t help hoping that intensity translated to real life.
But the real man behind the character is much more private, focused on his career and personal growth rather than publicly navigating romance.
The Bottom Line
So, who is Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s real girlfriend?
Right now, he doesn’t have one that’s been publicly confirmed.
He keeps his romantic life low-key, and while fans love to guess, the only things we know for sure are what he’s shared himself: he’s focused on his work and his personal life, and when he chooses to share more about a relationship, it will be on his own terms.
Hero Fiennes Tiffin may play a passionate romantic on screen, but off screen he’s essentially flying under the radar — and that’s part of why fans keep watching, wondering if one day Hardin Scott’s off-screen love story will finally unfold.
