Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton’s characters on Stranger Things began dating while their 1984 Hawkins, counterparts did the same thing.
When Dyer and Heaton were cast as Nancy Wheeler and Jonathan Byers on the Netflix series in July 2016, viewers immediately noticed the spark between them.
Fans began wondering if the two stars were an actual couple within a few months of the film’s debut. In 2017, after attending the Golden Globes together, the duo was sighted at Los Angeles International Airport, sparking further dating suspicions.
When they first started dating, Dyer and Heaton tried very hard to keep their relationship a secret, which Heaton admitted to in an interview with GQ.
He told the media outlet, “We didn’t really know what the relationship was.” “The sneakiness could have been needless anyway.”
Since then, the two have become more public with their relationship by attending red carpet premieres together and posting love messages to each other online. Here’s the full rundown of Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton’s relationship, from their first meeting on Stranger Things through the latter’s Instagram debut.
