Ashley Park and Paul Forman, co-stars of Netflix’s Emily in Paris, have reportedly broken up after nearly two years of dating. According to the sources close to TMZ, the couple broke up in September 2025.
Earlier, breakup rumors began when Park attended Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding without Forman, sparking speculation about their status. While the reason behind their split is still private, it is confirmed that they have called it quits.
The pair met on the sets of Emily in Paris when Paul Forman joined the cast for Season 3. He plays Nicolas de Léon, Mindy Chen’s (Park) on-screen boyfriend. The rumors about their relationship sparked in late October 2023, when they arrived at an event holding hands.
The couple had been seen together publicly since, confirming their relationship in January 2024 after Ashley’s hospitalization due to a severe health issue. During an interview with Cosmopolitan, Park revealed more about their relationship.
“In the beginning, we were just friends, because I was at a point where I was like, ‘I will never date an actor again,” Park shared. “And one of the first things he said to me was, ‘I’ve never dated an actor.’ And I was like, ‘Amazing.’”
Park continued talking about how they remained friends for a long time. She shared that they bonded further on a volunteer trip to Poland, helping Ukrainian refugees. During this trip, she witnessed Forman’s incredible generosity as he interacted with children who had lost their fathers to the war, offering them support and acting as a father figure. This made Park realize that her feelings for Forman had turned into something more than just friendship.
It wasn’t until they were filming one of their final scenes together that Paul confessed his feelings. At the time, Ashley tried to convince him that his feelings were just a result of their job, but ultimately admitted her feelings for him.
Despite their breakup, Ashley Park and Paul Forman will return for Emily in Paris Season 5 on December 18, 2025.
