Where better to fall in love than Paris? Netflix’s hit show Emily in Paris may follow the oh-so-dramatic love life of its titular heroine, but stars Ashley Park and Paul Forman, who fell for each other on set as well as onscreen, are the true romance of the series.
From glamorous parties to health scares, these two have truly been together through the highest highs and the lowest lows. And recently, Ashley even shared that Paul was her support system throughout her recent sepsis scare, which saw her hospitalised in Dubai after a tonsil infection developed into sepsis while the couple were holidaying in the Maldives. She told The Sun: “I feel lucky, actually. It’s been kind of a miracle how I have recovered. I don’t think I would have made it without him. Everybody else was on the other side of the world.”
This pair is Emily In Paris' cutest real-life couple, are we right?! Check out their full relationship timeline here…

6 August: Ashley opened up in an interview about how her and Paul were strictly friends first, and her reservations at dating a fellow actor. “In the beginning, we were just friends, because I was at a point where I was like, ‘I will never date an actor again.’…I mean, let’s face it, he’s eye candy. So I was also like, ‘Oh my God, definitely not. I am past that. I would never fall for someone who looks that impeccable.’ So we were just friends. Very platonically, we would hang out,” she told Cosmopolitan in a 2024 interview.
