The pair was recently photographed walking hand-in-hand through the vibrant streets of New York City, marking a significant development following Fanning's split from longtime boyfriend Max Minghella.
On a crisp Thursday night, Fanning and Wenner were seen enjoying a delightful meal with friends, including singer Lorde, 26, talented actress Annabelle Dexter Jones, and Gus Wenner's brother, Theo Wenner, at The Waverly Inn. The group's lively evening continued as they ventured to another West Village hotspot for a nightcap before parting ways.

Throughout their stroll home, Fanning and Wenner clung tightly to one another, finding warmth and solace in each other's company amidst the cold NYC temperatures. Fanning, always stylish and understated, wore a long black coat over jeans, perfectly paired with black ballet flats. On the other hand, Wenner, the magazine executive, sported jeans under a black coat, along with a plaid button-down shirt and a tan scarf. As they wandered through the city streets, he held a lit cigarette in one hand, reserving the other for Fanning.
This new romance comes approximately seven months after Elle Fanning confirmed her return to the world of singlehood in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. However, she made it clear that despite the change in her relationship status, she hasn't given up on love and still holds dreams of starting a family one day.
In the interview, Fanning revealed her deeply romantic nature, saying, "I'm a hopeless romantic. I believe in love at first sight. Call me crazy, but I believe in those things. I feel that it's my destiny."
Elle Fanning's previous relationship was with Max Minghella, a 38-year-old actor. The two embarked on their romantic journey in 2018 after meeting during the filming of "Teen Spirit." Their relationship remained low-key initially, but they eventually made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2019 Met Gala, making their status official.

Just a few months before their separation, an inside source revealed to Us Weekly that despite the 13-year age gap, Fanning and Minghella were exceptionally strong in their relationship. The source mentioned, "The age difference isn't an issue at all. Elle loves how mature and intelligent Max is. He's a real intellect with a big passion for arts and culture." Nevertheless, the details surrounding the split remain undisclosed as both parties have chosen not to divulge the reasons for their separation.
Gus Wenner, on the other hand, has maintained a low profile when it comes to his personal life since stepping into the role of CEO at Rolling Stone in 2016. There were past speculations about a romantic connection between Gus Wenner and Maya Hawke in 2019. However, their potential relationship seemed to fizzle out quickly.
