In a recent interview with SmartLess, Elle Fanning was asked about something both she and her boyfriend enjoy. In response, she shared that they love going on trips together. She further went on to add how they are very similar, which makes their experiences even more fun.
“We're very similar in a lot of ways cuz he's also extremely extroverted, but he's extremely grounded and is able to really ground me. And also he kind of carves out the time for me, and I'm like I don't even realize it,” she said.
She explained that while she is very good at scheduling her work, she struggles to do the same for her plans, and that is when her boyfriend steps in. She spoke warmly about how her boyfriend is always the one to take the lead when it comes to making plans. For those unaware, Fanning made her relationship with Gus Wenner official when the two appeared together at the Golden Globe Awards.
Now, this is not the first time the actress has spoken about her boyfriend. In an earlier interview with Who What Wear in January this year, she called Wenner “the best.” She described their future as bright when asked about her candidness while speaking about their relationship.
"Why hide? The future looks bright,” she said.
While Fanning has often spoken about her boyfriend, there is still plenty to know about Wenner and his family.
