Actor Cooper Hoffman has confirmed he is in a relationship with his co-star Nico Parker.<\/p>\n
The couple are both second-generation performers: Hoffman, 23, is the son of the late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman; and Parker, 21, is the daughter of actress Thandiwe Newton and director Ol Parker.<\/p>\n
The two, who starred together in the 2024 film Poetic License, were pictured with their arms around each other at the Toronto International Film Festival last September.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Hoffman said: “We didn’t officially start dating until a few weeks after filming, when she came to New York to meet my mom (costume designer Mimi O’Donnell), and I asked her to be my girlfriend. It was very sweet.”<\/p>\n
The couple met on the set of the film, which is the directorial debut of Maude Apatow, who is the daughter of director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann.<\/p>\n
Parker began her career with the 2019 film Dumbo and has since appeared in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and How to Train Your Dragon.<\/p>\n
Hoffman made his film debut in Licorice Pizza in 2021 and had a lead role in the 2025 adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk.<\/p>\n
The actor remembered his father in an interview with GQ, saying: “He’s my favourite actor, but he’s also my dad.<\/p>\n
“As much as I would love him to be here and talk to him about acting, I also would be terrified to have him see my stuff and judge my stuff.<\/p>\n
“Not that he would judge it, because he was a very empathetic person, and he would probably – hopefully – hold my hand through all of it.”<\/p>\n
