Nat Wolff: The Hollywood Heartthrob Who’s Dated Margaret Qualley, Suki Waterhouse & Bella Thorne – Now Linked to Billie Eilish! Inside His Star-Studded Love Life & Andrew Garfield Friendship
They met at an Oscars after-party and bonded over having Tourette’s syndrome; Wolff is one half of musical duo Nat & Alex Wolff, and is known for his roles in films like Paper Towns and Mainstream
Nine-time Grammy winner Billie Eilish has often raised eyebrows over her romantic relationships. She previously dated musician Jesse Rutherford, who was 10 years her senior, but after the two broke up, the 22-year-old vowed to be stricter about her dating standards. “I don’t see myself being serious with anyone until I find someone that really feels right to me,” she told Rolling Stone in May. A few months later, she is rumoured to be cosying up to actor and musician Nat Wolff and the internet is not complaining.

The pair were first linked when his musical duo Nat & Alex Wolff, with his brother, Hereditary star Alex Wolff, opened for the “Ocean Eyes” singer during her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour. In an interview with Vogue, Eilish shared how she met the brothers at an Oscars after-party and bonded over all three having Tourette’s syndrome. The trio attended Coachella together this year, and the brothers went on tour with Eilish as her support act – but the “Bad Guy” singer has also been spotted slipping away with the older Wolff for some private outings, per DeuxMoi. Now, an insider is claiming to be “100 per cent sure” that the two are more than just friends.
So just who is Nat Wolff, who starred in Eilish’s “Chihiro” music video?

Wolff got his start in the entertainment industry through his parents: Hollywood actress turned writer, director and producer Polly Draper, and jazz pianist Michael Wolff. From a young age, Nat wanted to break into the business – so much so that, as he told Complex, one of his earliest memories is of leaving a note for his parents on his bedroom door that read, “I want to be a child actor!”

Nat Wolff made his acting debut through his mum’s play Getting into Heaven. He was later cast alongside his brother Alex in Nickelodeon’s The Naked Brothers Band, a show created by the Thirtysomething actress and co-executive produced by her husband. It was also around this time that Nat started writing music, working alongside his father on the show’s soundtrack. He once wrote a song called “Firefighters” to honour first responders for their service during 9/11 and performed it with his band The Silver Boulders.
Today, Nat Wolff is best known for roles in films like Paper Towns (2015) and Mainstream (2020). He also co-starred with his brother in their mother’s film Stella’s Last Weekend (2018).
