The Netflix actors, who play love interests on the show, have been dating since January 2023 and recently attended their first public event as a couple.
How Ashley Park and Paul Forman Met
Ashley Park and Paul Forman met on the set of Emily in Paris, the popular Netflix comedy-drama series created by Darren Star. Park plays Mindy Chen, a singer and nanny who becomes friends with the titular character Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins. Forman joined the cast in the third season as Nicolas de Leon, a charming and successful music producer who falls in love with Mindy.
The two actors became close while filming the show in Paris and London, and often posted photos of each other on their social media accounts. However, they did not confirm their relationship until January 2024, when Park revealed that she had suffered a serious health scare that resulted in critical septic shock and hospitalizations.
Their Health Scare
In a lengthy Instagram post, Park shared that in December 2023, she was on vacation with Forman when she developed a bad case of tonsillitis that eventually infected and affected several of her organs. She thanked Forman for being “unconditionally by [her] side through all this” and shared photos of him kissing her forehead and holding her hand as she lay in a hospital bed.
She also posted a video of him combing her hair and helping her walk. She wrote, “I love you Paul. More than I can ever say.” Her Emily in Paris co-stars, including Collins, Lucien Laviscount, and Samuel Arnold, expressed their support and love in the comments.
A few weeks later, Park made their relationship Instagram official by posting a photo of the two kissing and praising him for always being by her side. She also hinted at the timeline of their romance by sharing two photos of them together from a year ago, one of him pushing her in a wheelchair after she sprained her ankle at Beyoncé’s Dubai concert and a black-and-white snap of them kissing.
Their First Public Date
On February 20, 2024, Park and Forman attended their first public event as a couple at London Fashion Week. They were invited to the JW Anderson show, where they sat in the front row and posed for photos. Forman captioned his Instagram post, “First public date with @jw_anderson. Congratulations @jonathan.anderson on an incredible show.”
Both of them wore cozy and chic sweaters, with Park opting for a pink and green striped one and Forman choosing a blue and yellow one. They also shared a video of him trying to walk in her heels as she filmed him and laughed. Park commented on his post, “Shared wardrobe for life please.”
Their fans and friends were delighted to see them together and complimented their style and chemistry. Collins wrote, “Yeasssss love this for you both.” The Best Celebrity Photos from London Fashion Week 2024

The couple is also expected to return for the fourth season of Emily in Paris, which has been renewed by Netflix.
