Social Media Influencer Alexis Ren Dating 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' Star Noah Centineo
She's only 22 years old!
instagram In the age of Instagram, it’s not unlikely to see “self-made” social media influencers and models. These individuals make a profit off of sponsored posts, traveling around the world, taking photos of artisan food, and even promoting products they may or may not use. While a majority of those who aspire to be social media influencers won’t find success, a select few make it their living.
Who is Alexis Ren? Ren was discovered at just 13 years old to model for the label Brandy Melville, and became an Internet sensation two years later after posting photos on Tumblr. Since then, at only 22 years old, she’s launched her own activewear line, was named 2018 Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year, landed the cover of Maxim, and competed in season 27 of Dancing With the Stars. She also made it on Maxim’s 2019 Hot 100 list of Sexiest Women in the World. Hey, it pays to be attractive.
But Ren is making headlines for something other than her good looks. According to Us Weekly and multiple other sources, Ren is now dating Noah Centineo.
On September 25, the two were spotted at a restaurant in West Hollywood. Says the source, “[Noah] was with a group of five people: two girls and two guys, plus him. As he walked away, he wrapped his arm around [Alexis], kissed the side of her forehead, kept her in a tight side-hug. It looked pretty lovey to me.”
Another source told Us Weekly they spotted the couple back in May 2019 at the airport. Noah “seemed smitten when he greeted her at the airport. He picked her up as she was on my flight. He was waiting for her at baggage claim. He kissed her on the head, [and] they were holding hands and hugging... [It was] very clear that they were together.”
Ren posted a cryptic tweet on September 9, saying, “I woke up in a pout cause you weren’t next to me,” making fans believe it was written about Centineo. And one fan also noted that both individuals took a picture in the same location, fueling more rumors.
Previously, Centineo was rumored to be dating Lily Collins after being spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in February, looking super-cozy. Fans also were desperate for an off-screen romance with Lana Condor, his co-star in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Both rumors were shot down and he’s merely close friends with both women. However, he was linked to Angeline Appel and Kelli Berglund.
Ren went through a breakup in December 2018 with Alan Bersten, her partner on Dancing With the Stars.
The split was amicable, with a source saying, “She’s in Japan working and he’s going on tour in a couple of weeks, but they are still talking and still consider each other friends. They aren’t in the same country for a while, which makes a relationship hard but they are open to whatever the future might hold.”
She also confirmed her split, saying on Instagram, “Feelings aren’t black and white and neither is life. We’re focused on our careers and growing as individuals. He’s an amazing person and I’m grateful he came into my life. He’s on his own journey and I respect that.” Ren also previously dated Jay Alvarez, a fellow social media influencer.
For now, it looks like this new couple is enjoying each other’s company!
