Hailee and Josh Are Falling Hard, But He Just Got Out Of A Break-Up
Hailee and Josh were first romantically linked in May when they were photographed spending time together in New York. While their romance is still in the early stages, reports say the pair are infatuated with each other.
“Hailee and Josh have been together for about a month and it’s going really great,” a source told Us Weekly in June. “[They] laugh a ton when they’re together [and] are always smiling,” they continued.
However, the insider emphasized that Hailee is “not putting any pressure or unrealistic expectations on things” given that Josh is fresh out of a break-up from Brittany Williams.

The pair broke up earlier this year, and though neither has given a reason for the split, a leading rumor is that Brittany was unfaithful.
Hailee’s New Romance Has Gone Viral, But She Usually Keeps Things Private
Hailee’s new relationship has sparked immense curiosity among her fans, both because of the attention around Brittany and Josh’s break-up, and because Hailee is usually more secretive of her romances. But the Pitch Perfect star hasn’t been afraid to flaunt her fling with Josh online as well as for photographers.
“Josh is the first guy in a while she’s been really interested in,” the same source told Us Weekly.
Her past dating history includes former One Direction crooner Niall Horan, who she was briefly linked to in 2018. Prior to that, she was linked to her Romeo + Juliet co-star Douglas Booth in 2013.
But in recent years, Hailee hasn’t had any public romances. That didn’t’ stop her from describing what she’s looking for in ‘the one’ during a 2021 interview. “I want a partner who is, first and foremost, loyal and honest but confident in themselves and able to do their thing while I do mine,” Hailee explained. “It’s weird talking about it because it’s been in my head for so long.”
She also admitted to sometimes feeling pressured to partner up, saying, “I really don’t ever have moments of, ‘Oh God, I feel so single,’ but it is funny how in the past year or so, a lot of people have gotten engaged or married. I’m like, ‘Everybody’s gotta slow down for me, OK?’”
Perhaps Hailee’s time has come now that things seem to be going swimmingly with Josh.
