Fred Hechinger’s girlfriend, Victoria Pedretti, announced her relationship with the actor at the same time as her Broadway debut. Hechinger and Pedretti kissed while strolling through New York City in February 2024.
Hechinger, 24, earned notoriety after starring as Quinn Mossbacher in the hit TV series The White Lotus in 2021. Since then, Hechinger has appeared in several movies, including The Pale Blue Eyes, Hell of a Summer, and recently Thelma.
Pedretti, 29, has built a strong fanbase after starring in back-to-back hit horror TV series. The two actors haven’t shared any details about their relationship since going public in February.
Hechinger will be seen next in the highly anticipated Ridley Scott’s movie, Gladiator II. The White Lotus star plays Emperor Caracalla in the star-studded cast, with Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington in lead roles.
Who Is Fred Hechinger’s Girlfriend, Victoria Pedretti?
Fred Hechinger’s girlfriend, Victoria Pedretti, is more well-versed in handling the public spotlight than him. Pedretti began working in the industry in 2014, four years before Hechinger hit the screens in 2018 with the movie Eighth Grade.
Pedretti became a household name in 2018 when she starred in the horror series The Haunting of Hill House, directed by Mike Flanagan. Her character, Nell Crain, was universally loved, and the episode [episode five] featuring her story to this date is considered one of the best episodes put out by a horror series.
After The Haunting of Hill House’s success, Pedretti bagged the role of Love Quinn in the hit TV series You. She starred opposite Penn Badgley as a character as flawed as his.
Despite her flawed character, Victoria was heavily praised for her acting skills. In 2020, Victoria again teamed up with Mike Flanagan and starred in another horror TV series, The Haunting of Bly Manor. Though the latter was a hit, it didn’t have the same success as its predecessor.
Fans had high expectations of wanting to see Pedretti in Flanagan’s other horror series, The Fall of the House of Usher. But that didn’t happen, and there were even speculations about Pedretti having a fallout with Flanagan during the shooting of The Haunting of Bly Manor.
In 2024 alone, Pedretti has starred in three short movies, Fall Risk, Merci, Poppy, and F*ck That Guy. She also worked in the film Ponyboi. Pedretti has tried to keep her life as private as possible. Hence, throughout the years, the actress has deleted several Instagram posts. Pedretti hasn’t shared a single romantic post on her Instagram account, with all 23 posts involving her work.
When Did Fred Hechinger And Victoria Pedretti Begin Dating?
Fred Hechinger and Victoria Pedretti confirmed their dating rumors with a kiss in February 2024. The two actors showcased public affection while walking down the streets of New York City.
Fred and Victoria paused to share a passionate kiss before continuing their stroll. Since showing their love for one another, Pedretti and Hechinger have remained radio silent on their relationship status.
There have been no lovey-dovey Instagram posts nor any outings since February. Two of them haven’t even talked about each other in their interviews.
The fans are willing to know how the two stars came to know each other as they haven’t previously shared the same set. There’s a good chance Victoria and Fred met through a mutual friend. And if they did meet through a mutual friend, who was that mutual friend?
They went public with their relationship in February 2024, but how long were they dating before deciding to acknowledge their relationship publicly? All these questions remain unknown as both the actors are extremely private.
The only time they were in the same place before going public with their relationship was in January 2024. Hechinger and Pedretti attended the Sundance Film Festival at the Vulture Spot in Park City, Utah.
Both of them clicked pictures with fellow actor Dylan O’Brien. It is unclear whether Hechinger and Pedretti spent time together at the event, where Pedretti was promoting her film, Ponyboi.
Who Did Fred Henchinger Date Before Victoria Pedretti? His Past Relationships
The 24-year-old actor Fred Hechinger is currently in his most high-profile relationship. Before the news about him dating Victoria became public, the actor was never linked romantically with anyone else.
He has never talked about his dating life in any of his interviews. Like Victoria, Fred’s Instagram handle contains only posts about his work.
But his girlfriend, Victoria Pedretti, was in a well-known relationship among her fans before dating him. In November 2021, Pedretti was linked with her You co-star, Dylan Arnold.
The two were spotted running errands in Los Angeles, buying home essentials. Their characters, Love Quinn and Theo Engler, played love interests in season three of the hit Netflix show.
A month before being spotted together, Pedretti had talked about love and relationships in an interview with Elle. She said, “I don’t know if I believe in soulmates; I’m certainly romantic. I think any artist ought to be romantic. I hope my portrayals of the world are hopeful, even if [You] is one of the shows.”
She added, “I think that a lot of us are vibrating on very different frequencies, and it feels kind of miraculous when we’re able to find people [who] can even vibrate alongside us for even a time.”
It remains unknown when Pedretti broke up with Arnold. A Reddit thread mentioned that the two actors broke up quietly last year. Another user said the two were last seen in the Seattle area during Thanksgiving.
