Is he dating?
Recently, Finn and his co-star, Millie Bobby Brown, has been in the limelight after Millie shared a cute picture of them on Instagram with the caption, “I am so blessed to have a great (on-screen romance) with this lovely boy! Eleven loves you.” This took a wrong turn as people misinterpreted her caption and started speculating them to be girlfriend and boyfriend, and their fans even started shipping them together.
To slam the rumor, Millie took the photo down and went live on Instagram. She claimed Millie and Finn are just good friends and great co-stars and that’s what they’ll ever be.

He further stated, “That was nuts. That was gross. That’s good that she apologised, it’s weird but… it’s fine.”
