Elle Fanning Sparks Dating Rumors With Rolling Stone CEO Eight Years Her Senior

On November 6, Page Six reported that Elle Fanning, star of Maleficent, is believed to be in a new romantic relationship following her split from ex-boyfriend Max Minghella. According to sources, Fanning’s rumored new partner is Gus Wenner, the CEO of the iconic magazine Rolling Stone, who is eight years older than the actress.

The pair were spotted by paparazzi walking hand in hand through the streets of New York City on Thursday night after enjoying dinner with a group of mutual friends. In the photos circulating online, both appeared relaxed and casually dressed. Despite minimal makeup and wearing her hair down, Elle Fanning looked radiant, drawing attention with her natural beauty. The couple’s affectionate gestures—holding hands and exchanging loving glances—quickly fueled dating speculation. So far, Fanning has not publicly commented on the rumors.

Born in 1998, Elle Fanning is the younger sister of actress and model Dakota Fanning. She began acting at the age of three and has steadily built an impressive career of her own. Now 25, Fanning boasts a diverse filmography and is a sought-after talent in Hollywood. Her notable projects include Babel, We Bought a Zoo, and especially Maleficent, a role that earned her the affectionate nickname “Disney Princess” among fans.

Before being linked to Gus Wenner, Elle Fanning was in a long-term relationship with Max Minghella. The two met on the set of Teen Spirit and officially confirmed their romance when they appeared together at the Met Gala in 2019. However, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year, Fanning revealed that the couple had parted ways after four years together.
