Photos and videos from the Stranger Things Season 5 premiere clearly showed Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton coming to the event together, and smiling while interacting with fans. So, their appearance instantly shut down all breakup rumors and proved that the duo is still going strong, proving that their off-screen love story is just as real as their on-screen chemistry.
A Closer Look at Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton’s Relationship
Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton’s love story started just like their Stranger Things characters. When they first met on the set of the Netflix show in 2015, no one knew that their on-screen chemistry as Nancy Wheeler and Jonathan Byers would turn into something real. The show premiered in 2016, and that’s when fans noticed some sparks between them.
Naturally, their close bond led many to believe there was something more than just friendship between them. By 2017, people were almost sure they were dating, even though the duo had yet to officially reveal things. Later on, they were spotted traveling together after the Golden Globes and even walked the red carpet at the Fashion Awards in London (via People).
While both actors tried to keep things private, their sweet public moments made it clear how close they were. Plus, Dyer and Heaton kept posting to each other on social media during trips and occasions like Halloween. So eventually, after being together for over 2 years, Dyer opened up about her relationship during an interview with US Weekly.
He’s alright I guess. He doesn’t mess up our scenes too much! No, he’s great. He’s talented, like everybody in the cast. They’re all super, just great to work with.
Since then, the couple has continued to support each other through every season of Stranger Things. Even though rumors have come and gone, Dyer and Heaton’s relationship has remained steady. So, it’s safe to say that this Stranger Things romance has gone from reel to real in the best way possible.
Stranger Things Season 5 Must Resolve Nancy’s Love Triangle
Now, while Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton’s real-life love story seems perfect, their Stranger Things characters are stuck in a messy love triangle. Nancy Wheeler, played by Dyer in the Netflix show, has long been torn between her first boyfriend, Steve Harrington, and her current love, Jonathan Byers.
This storyline began in season 1 and seemed to be settled when Nancy chose Jonathan in season 2. But then, season 4 brought back the triangle, leaving fans wondering who Nancy will end up with in the final season. So now, with season 5 almost knocking at the door, fans are excited to see who Nancy might choose.
Season 5 will reportedly take place one and a half years after the events of season 4. That means a lot could have happened off paper by the time the story continues. Naturally, fans believe it’s time for Nancy to make a clear choice, or maybe even choose herself. But whatever it is, fans want a resolution.
Many viewers even felt that the love triangle had overstayed its welcome. Stranger Things is heading toward its big ending, and there are bigger things to worry about than who Nancy dates. So, whether she ends up with Steve, Jonathan, or no one at all, fans just hope the story gives her a satisfying conclusion.
Who do you think Nancy will choose in Stranger Things season 5? Let us know in the comments.
Stranger Things is streaming in the US on Netflix.
