A lot happened in their relationship timeline in 2022. It started with List sharing an adorable Instagram post for Bertrand’s birthday.
Then, the two attended the Critics Choice Awards together. Later, the couple was spotted at LAX where they confirmed they were dating to TMZ. “You got me in 4K,” Bertrand joked. “We’ve been dating for a while.” When the reporter asked List about her decision to date a co-worker, the actress joked, “Think about the consequences later.”
Later that year, they walked the carpet together at Vanity Fair’s A Night For Young Hollywood event. They also went to PaleyFest LA, where List confirmed their relationship again to Page Six. “It’s been so fun. I feel like we’re all best friends and getting to have, like, a person that I really love in the same city – I’m just so grateful for him,” she said. “He’s the nicest person. But it is weird [on set], because I feel like we’re with everyone but each other on the show.”
When asked if she would go on a date with Leonardo DiCaprio while taking a lie detector test for Vanity Fair in September 2022, she said no because “our age difference is a little too much. I also have a boyfriend.”
List also said she would date a co-star and would have swiped right on her boyfriend on a dating app.
