Taylor Kinney, star of NBC’s Chicago Fire, is private about his off-screen life. The actor has been successful in keeping his personal life out of the spotlight for the most part, with the exception of his one high-profile engagement with a pop sensation. Who is Taylor Kinney now dating, if anyone? Take a peek at where his romantic life stands right now.
Who Is Taylor Kinney Dating?
The generally private Kinney sparked dating rumors in March 2022 when he posted a snapshot of a stunning woman via Instagram. One month later, they were seen together at a charity event, when she was revealed to be model Ashley Cruger.
The actual date of the couple’s first date is unknown, but their devoted following speculates it was sometime in the late summer or early fall of 2021. Cruger’s modeling portfolio indicates that she is based in Chicago, where Kinney shoots his popular show.
We don’t know much more than that at this point because both sides have kept their relationship under wraps, though Cruger did make a guest appearance in the season 11 opener of Chicago Fire. We’ll get to take pleasure in their brief on-screen presence.

Kinney shared another image of his girlfriend to Instagram on March 15th, less than two weeks later. Cruger scribbled “Inside Out” on a close-up of his face in one of the photos.
The “Vampire Diaries” star attended a Utah event with Cruger the next month, in April.

Formerly Taylor Kinney Was Engaged To Lady Gaga
In 2011, when Taylor Kinney was cast in the music video for Lady Gaga‘s song “Yoü and I,” the two finally met. After filming concluded, the couple swiftly began dating, proving that the chemistry they shared on set could transcend to the real world.
It was a fun time for all of us. The actor from Chicago P.D. commented in an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in 2015, “I think there was chemistry” in reference to the clip (as reported by ABC News). It was a late shoot, I seem to recall. We didn’t stop filming until 5:00 or later. One thing led to another, and we shared what we knew. We stayed in touch for a couple of weeks, but suddenly it was over.
Shortly after they began dating, the couple made their relationship public by sharing photos of themselves together online and appearing at public events. Lady Gaga repeatedly professed her love for the Shameless star, but Kinney remained very silent about their relationship.
The “Poker Face” singer remarked of Howard Stern, “He is the correct guy,” during an interview in 2014. (as reported by People). That’s the impression I’m getting. I have an innate sense of this. When I think about my current relationship, I really can’t picture myself with anybody else.
Kinney proposed in 2015 with a beautiful heart-shaped diamond. On Valentine’s Day, he gave me his heart, and I answered “Yes!” Lady Gaga made the news public in an Instagram post.
