Dating is never easy, but dating while famous? Probably even harder — especially online.
Many celebrities stick to dating techniques like being set up by friends or crossing their fingers for a traditional meet-cute. There are some stars, however, who have joined the masses in swiping for love, trying the celeb-exclusive app Raya or more mainstream platforms such as Tinder and ***** ble.
Some scored matches, others got ghosted and more than one — including Zayn Malik and Andy Cohen — was accused of catfishing. A few, like Dakota Fanning and Charlize Theron, were urged to sign up by pals, and that just meant they could judge matches together (looking at you, BFFs Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix!).
While several enjoyed trying the online dating pool, Olivia Rodrigo got the ick from the experience.
Ahead are the celebs who've gone on the record about trying out dating apps.

STOURBRIDGE, England, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Wildfires in England and Wales have hit a record level, fire chiefs said on Friday, warning that rescue services were battling to keep up with rising risks a day after fires raced from tinder-dry fields to engulf houses on the hottest day of the year.
Britain has not faced anything like the devastation wrought across Spain, France and elsewhere in Europe this year, but as the country endures the fifth heatwave of what is expected to be its hottest summer ever, it is dealing with more outbreaks of fire than ever before.
Phil Garrigan, chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council, said the number of wildfires had now exceeded last year's total of 1,017.
"We've well surpassed the figures from the previous high of 2025," Garrigan said, without detailing this year's latest figure.

EJEA DE LOS CABALLEROS, Spain, July 17 (Reuters) - Firefighters backed by 30 aircraft struggled on Friday to contain a wildfire in northeastern Spain that has ripped through an area the size of San Francisco, forcing the evacuation of more than 1,000 people, as recent heatwaves left vegetation tinder-dry across much of Europe.
Successive early summer heatwaves, which many scientists blame on human-driven climate change, have pushed temperatures to unprecedented levels in large swathes of the continent, causing water shortages, crop damage, wildfires, and thousands more deaths than normal.
According to the Reuters Climate Monitor, the average high across Western Europe on Friday was forecast to be 27.5 degrees Celsius (81.5 degrees Fahrenheit), which is 4.2 C above the normal high for July 17 from 1961-1990.

The news? I spent years trying to keep concealed. My personal business was totally word of mouth. I didn’t grow up in the Tinder Age? I was on the party line. And bonus, no drugs. I was organic.
