Ryan Eggold and Bella Thorne sparked dating rumors in Montauk over the Fourth of July Weekend. Here’s what you need to know about Ryan.
Bella Thorne, 24, celebrated July 4th with fellow actor Ryan Eggold, 37. The pair were spotted at The Surf Lodge in Montauk, New York, for a dinner thrown by Rosario Dawson, according to Page Six.

In a 2014 interview, Ryan revealed how he struggles with pursuing romantic relationships. “I am an old man,” he said. “I go for the quiet. I wouldn’t say I handle attention well, I’d say I stumble over pick-up lines poorly. I’m not good at any of that.”
