Popular dating sites like WhosDatedWho credit Lucy McLay as Antony Starr’s long-standing girlfriend. But, there were rumors of a link-up between Starr and his co-star Erin Moriarty. The rumors of Antony dating Erin were publicized only after they appeared on The Boys.
If Antony and Ein really had something going on, what happened to this relationship with Lucy? Well, the actor’s love life and relationships have been mostly confusing! But, we will unravel a brief of Antony’s dating timeline here.
Antony started Dating his Girlfriend Lucy around 2006
Antony first met Lucy, who is a costume designer, on the sets of the series Mercy Peak in 2001. These two have worked on three projects together such as Mercy Peak (2001-02), Without a Paddle (2004), and Outrageous Fortune (2007).
So, it is obvious The Boys actor has known Lucy since the early 00s. After working together on Mercy Peak, Antony and Lucy developed an affection for each other. However, they did not start dating each other right away.
This pair met again on the sets of the film Without a Paddle in 2004, and, as fate had it, their affection could blossom into something beautiful. Though it is not clear when they started dating, it is reported it all began around 2006.
In the mid-00s, there were several pictures of Lucy and Antony attending award shows and media events together. Lucy is a costume designer, and her work is limited to behind-the-scenes, while Antony is a frontman, the showstopper.
Generally, costume designers do not come along with actors on promotional campaigns for movies or TV shows. But Antony and Lucy were seen together at such events several times. This led many to believe they were in a relationship.
Many media portals started writing Lucy and Antony in the same column as a couple. Interestingly, neither of the two denied being a couple, though they also did not speak about their relationship much in public.
When Did Antony and His Girlfriend Lucy Break Up?
Lucy and Antony last worked together on the sets of the TV show Outrageous Fortune in 2007. In the late 00s, the couple gradually stopped giving public appearances together.
Furthermore, there are no ‘together pictures’ of Starr and McLay from the 10s. Their sudden disappearance from public events and absence of pictures in recent times led many to think they are separated now.
