Kiernan Shipka, known for her role in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” has had a bit of a romantic history, although not with her co-stars from the show. While she never dated Gavin Leatherwood or Ross Lynch in real life, she’s been linked to a few other individuals over the years. Despite telling Seventeen in a November 2018 interview that she was too occupied with work to date, she has managed to find time for romance along the way.
In 2019, Shipka was romantically linked to Christian Coppola, a member of the renowned Coppola family, and their relationship seemed to be going strong in 2022. However, in both February and November 2022, she was seen in the company of John Mayer, which fueled dating rumors. It’s worth noting that neither Shipka nor Mayer addressed these rumors, and their representatives did not respond to POPSUGAR’s request for comment.
While Shipka’s career has been thriving in recent years, with her upcoming role in “Totally Killer” and “Twisters” in 2024 alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell, her romantic life remains a bit of a mystery. Nevertheless, it’s evident that she has a bright future in Hollywood.
Here’s a glimpse into what we know about Shipka’s brief but noteworthy dating history.
Charlie Oldman
Kiernan Shipka’s romantic life took an interesting turn in March 2019 when she was first linked to Charlie Oldman, the son of actor Gary Oldman. Their connection became apparent when they were seen having dinner together at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, as reported by E!. In April of the same year, Shipka joined Charlie as his date for a movie premiere in Los Angeles, as documented by Just Jared. The day after the premiere, Charlie shared a selfie of himself and Kiernan on his Instagram account, captioned simply with a heart emoji. While neither Shipka nor Charlie officially confirmed their relationship, it seemed like a budding romance.
However, their connection appeared to be short-lived, as by July 2019, Shipka was linked to someone new. Interestingly, there doesn’t appear to be any animosity between Charlie and Shipka. In November 2019, Charlie even attended Shipka’s 20th birthday party and shared a photo booth picture of himself, Shipka, and her rumored new boyfriend on Instagram. His caption, “Choose your fighter. Happy birthday kiki,” accompanied by a heart emoji, suggests that they remained on friendly terms – a testament to their amicable split.
Christian Coppola
In April 2019, Christian Coppola made his debut on Kiernan Shipka’s Instagram page, and interestingly, Shipka’s then-maybe-boyfriend, Charlie, was also in the picture. However, it wasn’t until their joint attendance at the Fendi show in Rome in July 2019 that the rumors of romance began to swirl. Shipka added fuel to the fire by posting a photo on Instagram from the event with the caption, “MY LOVE.” Their Halloween costume choice in October of that year, where they both dressed as devils, further raised eyebrows. After her 20th birthday party, Shipka shared a black-and-white photobooth picture of herself and Christian, along with the caption, “I love you.”
Just like with her previous relationship, Shipka never officially confirmed her status with Coppola. Nevertheless, they continued to share several adorable couple photos throughout 2020, and in 2021, they became proud dog parents. Shipka posted the most recent photo of the two of them together in July 2022, and their current relationship status remains uncertain.
John Mayer
Kiernan Shipka and John Mayer were initially seen together at the Tower Bar inside the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles in February 2022. Later, in November 2022, they were spotted at the Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Hollywood. According to sources, their dinner lasted for approximately four hours, and Mayer was even said to have serenaded Shipka during the evening. These sightings sparked some discussions because Shipka is 23 years old, while Mayer is 45. However, there have been no further sightings of them together since then.
