Dylan O'Brien always managed to maintain a low profile when it comes to his romantic life. After parting ways with Britt Robertson, in 2018, following their six-year relationship, the actor is very guarded about his personal affairs. However, during an appearance on the Big Ticket podcast in 2020, O'Brien emphasized the significance of platonic friendships.
"I had friends that were so dear to me that I had felt that I had neglected for years. All of a sudden, it was very important to me to nurture those relationships and not lose them…" the Teen Wolf star recalled. Despite his intricate dating history, O'Brien hinted in a tweet that he was ready for a new relationship again, humorously referring to it as his "s**t era."
In January this year, O'Brien was spotted holding hands with his newfound rumored romance, Rachael Lange, during Paris Fashion Week. Here's what we know about their relationship...

Gala magazine captured their entrance in a TikTok video, which garnered attention from fans. The caption, originally in French, stated, "Now it's Dylan O'Brien's turn to enter hand in hand with his companion".
According to Entertainment Tonight, they were present at the Alexandre Mattiussi Menswear Fall-Winter 2023-2024 show. However, O'Brien later walked solo on the red carpet. This public display of affection immediately sparked curiosity among netizens, who eagerly sought more information about the actor's rumored new love interest.
Despite speculation surrounding their relationship, neither O'Brien nor Lange have made an official statement or directly addressed their romantic involvement. However, intriguing clues emerged that piqued curiosity among fans.
On New Year's Eve, the 25-year-old model and designer, shared a TikTok video, saying she felt her "heart open again".

Rachael Lange's Insensitive Tweet Scandal
After the video emerged on TikTok showing Dylan O'Brien and Rachael Lange holding hands, speculation grew among the actor's fans about a possible romantic connection between the two. As fans delved deeper into the mystery surrounding Lange, they began exploring her social media profiles, particularly her Twitter account.
Fans came across some of Lange's past tweets that raised concerns. In 2013, she expressed her dislike for Taylor Swift, who worked with O'Brien for the "All Too Well" short movie. Then, in 2016, Lange posted tweets advising against dating anyone who enjoyed Taylor Swift's music and used derogatory language to refer to the artist.
Fans also discovered posts containing insensitive and inappropriate content besides her controversial tweets about Swift. Lange frequently used a racial slur in her tweets, and in September 2013, she shockingly referred to herself as someone who exploits minors when she confessed to having inappropriate images of children on her phone.
Although Lange has since deleted these tweets, they were reposted on Twitter by the celebrity gossip account, Pop Faction, which sparked widespread criticism. Users condemned the model for her use of racist language, making light of sexual misconduct, employing homophobic slurs, and insensitive remarks about Taylor Swift.
In response to the backlash, Rachael Lange apologized on her Twitter account. She expressed deep remorse for her past tweets, declaring herself mortified and ashamed of their existence.
Lange acknowledged the pain she had caused and took full responsibility for her actions, emphasizing her complete disassociation from her previous offensive statements.
Lange also recognized the gravity of her words and expressed sincere regret for the hurt she had inflicted on others. "I was extremely ignorant and while I do not remotely resonate with the things I once said, there is zero justification for my ever having said them…"
