Sofia Carson, a prominent actress and singer known for her roles in Disney's Descendants and Netflix's Purple Hearts, has consistently maintained a highly private stance on her romantic life. Despite her public career, Carson has made it clear that she prefers to keep her personal relationships out of the spotlight, often stating that she is "dating her career." This intentional privacy has led to numerous rumors and speculations about her love interests over the years, with very few, if any, publicly confirmed relationships.
Early in her career, around 2015, speculation arose regarding a possible romance between Sofia Carson and her Descendants co-star, Cameron Boyce. Fans observed their on-screen chemistry and off-screen camaraderie, leading to rumors of a relationship. However, neither Carson nor Boyce ever publicly confirmed these rumors, and they remained unverified.
From 2016 to 2018, Carson was frequently linked to Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, the son of actress Sofia Vergara. The rumors gained traction after Sofia Vergara reportedly posted a now-deleted Instagram photo of Carson and Manolo holding hands. Further fueling the speculation, Manolo himself shared a video in February 2018 of him lifting Carson, captioning it, "Not being able to make it to the gym is no excuse for missing a work out. Just pick up your nearest Sofia and crush those front/back squats." Despite these public interactions and fan theories, neither Carson nor Gonzalez Vergara ever officially confirmed they were in a romantic relationship.
Carson has consistently expressed her commitment to keeping her private life separate from her professional endeavors. In a 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan, she stated, "I’ve never tried dating apps. I’m dating my career." This sentiment has been echoed in multiple interviews, where she emphasized her focus on her art and music rather than her personal life.
In January 2022, Carson reiterated her stance in an interview with Extra, explaining that her decision to keep her private life hidden was "absolutely intentional." She stated, "To me, it’s about my art and the music and the films that I put out into the world and not about my personal life." She also reportedly made a decision around this time not to date anyone in the entertainment business, which, as she acknowledged, "makes it a little bit difficult."
Following the release of the Netflix romantic drama Purple Hearts in 2022, rumors of a romance between Carson and her co-star, Nicholas Galitzine, began to circulate. Their undeniable on-screen chemistry led many fans to hope for an off-screen relationship. However, these rumors were never confirmed, and Carson's consistent statements about her privacy and not dating within the industry seemed to put an end to such speculation.
More recently, in 2023, reports from sources like DeuxMoi suggested that Carson might be dating Australian humanitarian Hugh Evans, co-founder of The Oaktree Foundation and Global Citizen. The two reportedly crossed paths during the Global Citizen Festival. A Reddit user also claimed to have seen them together at a Global Citizen NOW action summit in Rio de Janeiro in November 2024. However, like previous rumors, these claims remain unconfirmed by either Carson or Evans.
As of late 2024 and into 2025, Sofia Carson continues to prioritize her career, with no publicly confirmed romantic relationships. Her consistent dedication to privacy means that her dating life remains largely a subject of speculation rather than public record. She has successfully maintained a boundary between her celebrated public persona and her personal life, leaving fans to focus on her artistic achievements.
