Honey, clear off your timelines and get ready for a sweet next-generation Hollywood love story! Media Take Out can confirm that actor Cooper Hoffman—the 23-year-old son of the late Oscar-winning icon Philip Seymour Hoffman—has officially confirmed his relationship with 21-year-old actress Nico Parker, daughter of Hollywood star Thandiwe Newton and director Ol Parker!
Speaking in a feature profile for The Hollywood Reporter, the Licorice Pizza actor opened up about how their romance blossomed on and off the movie set.
Met On Set, Made It Official In New York
The two rising stars first connected while filming Poetic License, the feature directorial debut of Maude Apatow (daughter of Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann).
While chemistry sparkled during production, Cooper revealed he waited until filming wrapped to officially ask Nico to be his girlfriend during a special trip to New York City:
“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.”

Both Cooper and Nico are carving out impressive careers of their own in Hollywood:

- Nico Parker: Following her debut in Tim Burton’s Dumbo, Nico earned a 2024 BAFTA nomination for her turn as Sarah Miller in HBO’s The Last of Us and starred in the live-action How To Train Your Dragon.
