The budding romance between actors Jeremy Allen White and Molly Gordon has captured the attention of fans and media alike. On September 25, the co-stars were photographed sharing a kiss in Los Angeles, with images obtained by PEOPLE highlighting their apparent chemistry. A source close to the actors reveals that while their connection has been evident for some time, they have only recently begun to explore their romantic feelings for one another.
“There were set rumors early on that they had intense chemistry even when not filming,” the source explained. White and Gordon star in the critically acclaimed series The Bear, where their characters also share a romantic storyline. “They didn’t start hanging out romantically until a few weeks ago, though,” the source added, suggesting that their relationship has evolved beyond professional boundaries.
Friends and insiders say that White seems to be genuinely interested in Gordon. “He really seems into Molly,” the source shared. The two have been spending quality time together, going on lunch dates and enjoying each other’s company. “They seem to have a great time. They’re affectionate and often engage in deep conversations, showing a real curiosity to get to know each other better.”
Despite living primarily in New York City, Gordon has been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles, where White resides when not working. This arrangement allows the two to cultivate their relationship further. White’s ties to L.A. are significant; he shares two children, Ezer and Dolores, with his ex-wife, Addison Timlin. A source noted that White is “very involved with his kids,” often taking them out for activities and ensuring he balances his professional and personal life.
In The Bear, Gordon plays Claire, the childhood sweetheart of Chef Carmy Berzatto, portrayed by White. Their on-screen relationship rekindles when Claire returns in Season 2, but it is fraught with complications. The season finale left viewers with an emotional breakup after a heated confrontation in a walk-in freezer, where Carmy vents his frustrations, unaware that Claire is listening outside. This pivotal moment illustrates the challenges their characters face, paralleling the complexities of relationships in real life.
Prior to his connection with Gordon, White had been romantically linked to Spanish singer Rosalía. Speculation regarding their relationship began in October 2023, and by December, the two were seen holding hands in Los Angeles. They continued to make headlines throughout early 2024, photographed together at various events, including a The Bear gathering on July 14. However, both White and Rosalía, 32, remained tight-lipped about their relationship status.
Interestingly, on the same day that White and Gordon were spotted together, Rosalía was celebrating her birthday in Paris at a high-profile event attended by celebrities such as Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and others. This timing adds another layer of intrigue to White’s evolving personal life.
