Who has Dylan O’Brien dated? Girlfriends List, Dating History

Dylan O’Brien is mostly known for voicing over the character of Bumblebee in the eponymous movie of the same name from the Transformers series. He is also famous for portraying Thomas in “Maze Runner” and its sequels. Dylan has been very consistent in his private life, having only one relationship which lasted for years, yet ended up with a split. To find out more, stay tuned.

Born on 26 August 1991, Dylan O’Brien comes from New York City, USA. His parents are Lisa Rhodes O’Brien, an acting school manager and former actress, and Patrick O’Brien, who works as a camera film operator. While Dylan grew up in Springfield Township, New Jersey, he dreamt of becoming a sports host, so he looked forward to starting studying sports broadcasting.

When he was 12, his family moved to Hermosa Beach, California, but the dream of working for the New York Mets didn’t leave him.

From the age of 14, Dylan began posting comedic videos on his YouTube channel, just to entertain himself and his friends. However, a fun thing led to a serious change in his life – he was reached by one of the managers who invited him for auditions for a web series. When it was time to enroll at Syracuse University to major in sports broadcasting, Dylan changed his mind and pursued his acting career.

Dylan O’Brien’s breakthrough happened in 2010, when he was cast for the MTV teenage series “Teen Wolf”. At first, he was auditioned for the role of Scott, but when Dylan read the script, he understood that the character of Stiles Stilinski was far closer to him, so he asked the producers to audition him for that part. Eventually he landed the role, joining the main cast of the series, and played Stiles from 2011 to 2017. Concurrently, from 2011 to 2013 he could be seen as Jimmy in “High Road”, Dave Hodgman in “The First Time” and Stuart Twombly in “The Internship”.

In 2014 Dylan landed the role of Thomas in “The Maze Runner”, which was commercially successful, and followed by the sequel, “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” the next year, in which Dylan reprised the role of Thomas.

In 2016 Dylan landed the role of Caleb Holloway in “Deepwater Horizon’, sharing the screen with Kurt Russell and Mark Wahlberg. In 2017 he portrayed Mitch Rapp in “American Assassin”, and in 2018 he voiced the title character in the “Bumblebee” movie.

Among Dylan’s latest works there are “Maze Runner: The Death Cure”, in which he played Thomas yet again, and “The Education of Fredrick Fitzell”, in which he landed the title role; Dylan also played Joel Dawson in “Love and Monsters” (2020), and his fans are going to see him in the role of Heinrich Treadway in the upcoming  “Infinite” science fiction action film.

During his acting career, Dylan has been nominated many times for Teen Choice Awards, winning in such categories as “2015 Choice TV: Scene Stealer” and “2016 Choice Summer TV Actor” (“Teen Wolf”) and “2016 Choice Movie Actor: Action/Adventure.

In 2018 he was presented with a BreakTudo Award, winning in the category “International Actor” for his work in “Maze Runner: The Death Cure”.

Since 2011 Dylan O’Brien has often been romantically linked to popular American actress and singer Selena Gomez. However, initially Selena was dating Justin Bieber, so Dylan tried to behave as a gentleman, and didn’t express on his passion for Gomez, though he was really interested in her. ‘I love Selena Gomez more than a lot of things’, Dylan shared in one of the videos his friends later posted on YouTube.

The actor didn’t hide his admiration for Gomez, yet he stated he wouldn’t interfere in her relationship with Bieber.

In 2011 they met for the first time in person at the Teen Choice Awards event. They were caught by paparazzi having a quick chat, and they posed together for some pictures, when Selena was taken away from Dylan by her bodyguards. ‘I met Selena… DAS RIGHT! And she was so sweet to me. Phenomenal hugger. Cool!’, Dylan later wrote on his Twitter account. In a few days Selena started following Dylan on Twitter, and he even shared a screenshot of the push-up when she started following him.

The fans were happy to hear such a pretty couple had a chance to communicate, so they started an Instagram account in which they posted their mutual photos. However, followers soon understood that they had too few details of the alleged “Dylena” affair, so they began producing a lot of fake photos, still posting them on social media sources. Nevertheless, despite his admiration for Selena, Dylan never in fact dated her. The fans supported the rumors of their alleged fling for some time on, but soon gave up, understanding they had no chance of celebrating any real union of Dylan and Selena.

Dylan O’Brien met American actress Britt Robertson on the set of the movie “The First Time” in September 2011. Despite her young age of 22, Brittany Leanna Robertson already had a list of projects behind her back by the time she was cast as Aubrey Miller in Jonathan Kasdan’s movie. Robertson started her acting career in 2000 when she was only 10 years old, landing the role of Little Sheena in the adventure series “Sheena”, appearing in the episode “Buried Secrets” alongside Gena Lee Nolin and John Allen Nelson. Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Britt always felt the support of her parents, Ryan and Beverly Robertson, who encouraged her to pursue her acting career. Brittany is the oldest Robertson daughter, with has six younger siblings.

When her parents were unable to move to Los Angeles for Britt to develop her portfolio, her grandmother, Shuler Robertson, went with her. Later Robertson occasionally appeared in such series as “Power Rangers Time Force” and “Freddie”, also landing roles in multiple TV movies, such as “Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers”, “Tangled Up in Blue” and “Women of a Certain Age”. When she out-grew from younger roles, she tried herself as a drama actress, appearing as Claire in ‘From Within” mystery movie, as Trixie Stone in  “The Tenth Circle”, and as Violet in “Mother and Child”, playing opposite Naomi Watts, Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington.

When Dylan saw Britt on the set of “The First Time”, for him it was love at first sight. They started dating secretly only a couple of weeks after they began working together, but even their close friends knew little about their affair. According to Britt, they didn’t want their relationship to impact on their careers, so they kept it low-key.

Dylan and Britt actually dated for more than six years, yet few details of their romance leaked, so fans were kept wondering what was going on between the two.

From 2011 to 2018 O’Brien and Robertson participated in dozens of successful projects – Britt landed roles in such series as “Under the Dome”, “Girlboss” and “For the People”; she also played Tulsa in “The Space Between Us” and Charlie in “Mr. Church”. Dylan also starred in “The Teen Wolf” and “Maze Runner” movie series. However, in 2018 Britt was spotted with another actor, Graham Rogers, the star of “Struck by Lightning”. The two spent too much time together to be still considered as ‘just friends”, adding to this Britt’s rare appearance alongside Dylan.

In December 2018, US Weekly reported that the couple had called it quits, and that they had separated amicably earlier in 2018.

Robertson’s fans were disappointed to know Britt was not honest with them, insisting she and Graham were just friends on her Instagram account when she posted their mutual photos, which she later removed. On 25 December 2018 Britt, posted her photo with Rogers, stating they spent Christmas Eve together. Graham also shared their photos on his social media profiles, but when the couple separated several months later, he also deleted the pictures from his Instagram account.

As of 2020, Dylan is mostly focused on his acting career, more so than on his personal life.

He has recently landed such roles as Sam Taylor in an episode of the “Amazing Stories” series, the title character in “The Education of Fredrick Fitzell”, and Joel in “Monster Problems”. Another project with O’Brien is planned for 2021, as he’s landed the role of Heinrich Treadway in Antoine Fuqua’s thriller “Infinite”.

Not unusually for actors, his work schedule keeps him busy enough, and away from serious relationships – Dylan hasn’t dated anyone since he separated from Britt Robertson, keeping his fans on edge as to who might be next for the handsome young actor.

Jimmy Wales’s Net Worth, Biography, Career, Awards, Fact and Life Story

Jimmy Wales New Worth and salary: Jimmy Wales is an American Internet entrepreneur who has a net worth of $1.5 million. Jimmy Wales is an American-British Internet entrepreneur who co-founded the online non-profit encyclopedia, Wikipedia, and the for-profit web-hosting company, Wikia. He was named one of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World” by Time.With a slight twist of fate/strategy, Jimmy by any count could have been a multi-billionaire. If Wikipedia was not a non-profit and instead accepted just basic banner ads, it could be worth – by some estimates – more than $10 billion. Instead, Jimmy wasn’t even a millionaire when he gave an interview with the New York Times in 2013. In that interview, on the subject of lost billions, Jimmy explained:”It rarely crosses my mind. Reporters ask me all the time and expect me to say: ‘I’m heartbroken. Where’s my billion dollars?’ There are care dealers in Ohio who have more money than I’ll ever have, and their jobs are much, much less interesting than mine.”Salary: In a 2019 Tweet, Jimmy confirmed that in the entire history of the Wikimedia Foundation, he has made $0 in salary.Early Life: Wales was born in Huntsville, Alabama on August 7, 1966 to parents Jimmy Sr. and Doris Ann. His father was a grocery store manager and his mother ran a private school called the House of Learning. Wales, along with his three siblings, received their early education at this school.Throughout his childhood, Wales loved reading and developed an interest in encyclopedias. He quickly realized that while encyclopedias were full of information, they also left out a great deal of relevant details. Education was highly valued in the Wales household and after eight grade, Wales attended Randolph school, a preparatory school that was expensive for the family. He was able to graduate at the age of 16 and then attended Auburn University, where he achieved a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1986. He then began a PhD program at the University of Alabama but transferred to Indiana University. While he did teach at both university during his postgraduate studies, he never completed his dissertation.Career: Wales began his career in 1994 at Chicago Options Associates, an options trading firm in Chicago. Wales had developed an interest in computer code while in school, as well as computer games and computer networks in general. This interest inspired him to leave his finance job and found Bomis, a web portal and “guy-oriented search engine” with two partners in 1996.Bomis was ultimately not successful but it did provide Wales with the time to pursue another idea – an online encyclopedia. In 2000, along with Larry Sanger, Wales launched Nupedia, a peer-reviewed, open-content encyclopedia online. Wales intended for many experts to write articles on a volunteer basis that would then be reviewed by hundreds of other experts to ensure articles of a quality comparable to that of professional print encyclopedias.However, the lengthy submission and review process made Nupedia very slow to develop and grow. Sanger, after having met programmer Ben Kovitz, suggested that Nupedia should suggest the wiki model, allowing editors to contribute simultaneously and incrementally. While the experts already working on the project did not want anything to do with this idea, as they considered it to be amateur, the resulting wiki pages soon flourished. Dubbed Wikipedia by Sanger, the website had its own domain and the number of articles on Wikipedia quickly surpassed that of Nupedia.In its early years, Wikipedia was developed and guided by Sanger, though the original idea came entirely from Wales. Additionally, Wales’ first company, Bomis, continued funding the project for some time. Sanger worked as editor-in-chief of the website until he resigned in 2002. Since then, there has been disagreement between Wales and Sanger regarding who holds the title of founder or co-founder of Wikipedia, as Wales has since declared himself to be the sole founder.In 2003, Wales set up the Wikipedia Foundation, a non-profit organization that handles off intellectual property rights and domain names related to Wikipedia. In 2004, Wales founded the for-profit company, Wikia. Wikia is a wiki farm, meaning it hosts collections of individual wikis on different topics like “Star Wars” or “Harry Potter.” Wikia also offered a search engine that was meant to rival Google.Wales has gotten involved with politics, especially in the 2010s, primarily regarding topics relating to Internet freedom and privacy. He testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs on the benefits of Internet technology. He also was very critical of the 2014 European court of Justice ruling that gave individuals the right to request Google to remove information about them. He has been critical of both UK and US politics.Wales has received a number of awards and accolades over his life. He is a former co-chair of the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and has also served on many boards for Internet and technology related issues at Harvard Law School and MIT. In 2014, he was awarded a Doctorate Honoris Causa by the Faculty of Communication Sciences by USI Lugano University. He received another honorary degree from Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland, as well as from Maastricht University. In 2017, he was awarded the President’s Medal of the British Academy for his developing of Wikipedia.Personal Life: Wales has been married three times. When he was 20, he married his co-worker at a grocery store, Pamela Green. They divorced in 1993. He then met his second wife, Christine Rohan, through a mutual friend while working in Chicago. They were married in Florida in March of 1997. They had a daughter together but then separated in 2008.In 2008, Wales briefly was romantically involved with conservative columnist Rachel Marsden, though their relationship ended in controversy. Their relationship was said to be a conflict of interest as Wales had originally contacted Marsden regarding her Wikipedia biography.In 2012, Wales married Kate Garvey in London in October of 2012. The two met in Davos, Switzerland. The couple have had two daughters together. They have lived in London since 2012 and Wales became a British citizen in 2019.Wales enjoys cooking and philosophy. He describes himself as an Objectivist and is also an atheist. He was heavily influenced by economist Friedrich Hayek’s essay, “The Use of Knowledge in Society,” when creating Wikipedia and deciding how it should operate. He also is a fan of Ayn Rand and describes his political views as center-right.
