Dylan's Relationship With Actress Ex-Girlfriend
Dylan was previously in a dating relationship with Tomorrowland actress Britt Robertson. The couple had first met during the filming of the 2020 movie The First Time and started dating soon.

Did Dylan Date His Crush After Breaking Up With Britt?
Back in 2011, Dylan mentioned that he had a crush on the Kick-Ass actress, Chloe Grace Moretz. After seven years of making the statement, rumors began surfacing that Dylan was dating Chloe.
The rumors started after The Maze Runner actor broke up with his former girlfriend, Britt Robertson. Dylan and Chloe were spotted hanging out together at a nightclub named The Nice Guy in August 2018.
Though the actor duo entered the nightclub separately, they left together- which further boosted the dating gossips.
