Bailey and Morley, who was born in Utah, haven’t shared too many details about their romance, though they’ve posted about their relationship several times on social media. Over the summer, Bailey even shared a video of her then-boyfriend asking her fan-submitted questions about Seeking Persephone.

They’ve since acted together in several projects, including the 2025 short film Java Jive. This past June, Bailey moved to Los Angeles with Morley. “I keep thinking just how grateful I am @nate.morley paused so much of his life to make this move with me,” she wrote on Instagram. “Life feels so much more possible with you. you make me brave. mon coeur.”
