KJ and Clara have been happily dating for over a year! They were first romantically linked together when KJ revealed he was “in love” during his “Autocomplete Interview” for WIRED in Dec. 2019, although he did not say who with at the time. He DID offer some foreshadowing for his future role as a father, though! In response to a Google search question that asked “Is KJ Apa a dad,” he said, “No, I’m not a dad. I will be one day, looking forward to it.”

KJ didn’t keep his lover a mystery for too long, though. He shared an Instagram photo of himself kissing Clara in Feb. 2020, and the secret was out! KJ let fans know they were still going strong by the end of the year, when he gave a public shout-out to Clara on her birthday this past December. More recently, in May of 2021, the duo went on a getaway to venture through ice caves in Canada (both are staying in Vancouver at the moment, where KJ is filming Riverdale).
