Acting powerhouse Elle Fanning has found her match in music journalism executive Gus Wenner.
The Predator: Badlands star first sparked romance rumors with Wenner when they were seen holding hands in November 2023. They went public with their relationship a few months later when they made their red carpet debut at the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards in January 2024.
The two have been going strong ever since and have each expressed their love for each other on Valentine's Day in 2025. Fanning shared two photos that showed Wenner carrying her and another of the two smiling under a waterfall for the holiday.
"Happy Valentine's Love of my Life," she captioned the photos. "I got your back always."
Wenner reciprocated the feeling by posting a video of Fanning licking an ice cream cone while dancing and smiling. He captioned the video, "Everyday is valentines day my love you are my heart."
So, who is Elle Fanning's boyfriend? Here's everything to know about Gus Wenner and his relationship with the actress.

Wenner is the son of Jane Schindelheim and Jann Wenner, who co-founded Rolling Stone. In a 2022 Father's Day post honoring Jann, Wenner called his father his "best friend" and "mentor."
Back in 2015, he posted a birthday tribute to his dad on Instagram, writing, "I remember when I didn't know how smart you were, when I was a kid, and you were just my dad. Now I know you are brilliant. And you are still my dad, first and foremost. But you are also my greatest teacher. I learn from you everyday. From up close. From a far. And I'm so [f—in] lucky to have you."

In January 2022, Wenner was named chief executive officer of Rolling Stone, per Adweek. Prior to becoming CEO, he was president and chief operating officer, a role he had held since 2017, according to his PMC bio.
However, in May 2025, Rolling Stone announced that Wenner would be transitioning into the role of executive chairman, while Julian Holguin is the new CEO. The two work together on the brand's strategic goals.
"Rolling Stone is poised for continued success leveraging Gus' deep experience and vision for the brand and Julian's keen business instincts and passion for innovation," Jay Penske, chairman and CEO, Penske Media Corporation, said in a statement, per Variety. "Rolling Stone will continue its rich legacy of world class journalism and culture-shaping conversation while creating new avenues for growth."
In an interview with Brown Alumni Magazine, Wenner shared that he took a "lowly" entry-level job at Rolling Stone the summer after he graduated from the Ivy League school in 2012.
He recalled his father telling him, "Just so you know, this is going nowhere," to which Wenner said he replied, "I know. I don't want it to. I just want to learn for a year and then move on."
He also told the outlet that in "any industry, if you get your foot in the door, you still have to walk through it ... and especially for publishing and print media."
Wenner noted, "it was not a forgiving place," adding, "The bottom line was always that if we were able to show gains and results and make that transition [to digital], then let's do it. And we did."
He and Fanning were first linked in 2023

Although it's not known when they initially started dating, Fanning and Wenner were first seen together publicly in November 2023 when they were photographed walking hand-in-hand in New York City.
According to Page Six, which obtained photos of the couple's outing, Fanning and Wenner ate at The Waverly Inn with Lorde, Annabelle Dexter Jones and his brother, Theo Wenner.

Wenner was one-half of the folk-rock band Gus + Scout. Fanning's boyfriend formed the band with Demi Moore and Bruce Willis' daughter Scout Willis while at Brown. The musical duo released their self-titled debut EP in 2012.
"We were only ever really friends at a very, very young age, and then were only just aware of each other in adolescence," Scout said of her and Wenner's relationship during an interview with W Magazine in 2012. "It wasn't until my freshman year at Brown that we connected in a real way and began playing music together,"

Days after the Globes, Wenner shared a series of photos of himself and Fanning in their Globes attire and seemingly heading to the ceremony. Fanning commented on the post with a red heart emoji, while Scout wrote, "The most gorgeous couple!!"

On her Instagram, the We Bought a Zoo actress shared a picture of Wenner sporting sunglasses as he lounged on a boat.
"My funny Valentine🏹💕🙈," she captioned the photo. Wenner reacted to the post with three purple heart emojis.
Bob Dylan is his "hero"
Wenner has previously dubbed Grammy winner Bob Dylan his "hero. Forever and always."
In his 2024 interview with Brown Alumni Magazine, Wenner also revealed that a day he spent with the "Mr. Tambourine Man" singer when he was 8 or 9 years old stands out as one of his favorite memories.
Wenner said, "I was able to relate with him on a very pure level because I was too young to really know" how famous Dylan was.
Years earlier, while speaking to W Magazine in 2012, Wenner shared that he started to fall in love with Dylan when he was around 13.
He admitted, "His music affected me on an emotional level like I didn't know possible, and it opened the door to a whole history of country and blues music that has made me who I am as a person, and definitely as a songwriter."
