KJ Apa and Britt Robertson are two-time co-stars, appearing in I Still Believe and A Dog's Purpose together. In the 2017 feel-good family drama, A Dog's Purpose, the pair starred as teenage sweethearts Ethan Montgomery and Hannah.
They reunited in I Still Believe alongside Gary Sinise and Shania Twain, where they played each other's love interests. In the romantic drama, KJ Apa played Jeremy Camp, and Britt Robertson starred as his first wife, Melissa Henning-Camp.
The actors were spotted exchanging a kiss during Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con party in July 2019. Suspicion over a brewing romance continued as the Hollywood actors were also seen appearing cuddly, holding hands, and walking arm in arm.
Before the dating rumours surfaced, Apa had already spoken highly of Britt Robertson. He told Stuff in 2017 that working with her felt easy because they spent so much time together. He said,
She was amazing. She was great. She knew that it was my first film as well, so she was helping me out a bit... And obviously you're there for three months, and you don't really have anyone else to hang with, so we were hanging out a lot.
Apa and Robertson have never addressed the rumours or confirmed the relationship.

French model Clara Berry remains KJ Apa's only confirmed romantic partner. Apa confirmed their relationship when he shared a now-deleted photo of them kissing on Instagram (shared on People) on 3 February 2020. He captioned the image 'coup de foudre,' a French phrase that means love at first sight.
On 19 May 2021, KJ Apa and Clara Berry took to Instagram to announce that they were expecting a child. Apa's (now deleted) Instagram post featured him sitting on a couch with Berry displaying her baby bump. Berry's announcement included an Instagram carousel of her maternity photos.
Sasha Vai Keneti Apa, KJ Apa's child, was born on 23 September 2021. Berry celebrated his arrival on Instagram, writing,
Sasha Vai Keneti Apa, born on the 23rd of September. He is a perfect perfection. I am the luckiest to have now two men of my life, filling my heart with this cosmic gigantic vast love.
Apa later spoke about how fatherhood transformed his life in an interview with Entertainment Tonight,
When you have a child, it pulls everything closer in your life in terms of the people that you love, your friends. It really reveals the people who really matter in your life, and it all revolves around this one special thing that you’ve created. It’s the most incredible thing that’s ever happened to me.
In February 2024, Berry confirmed that she was no longer dating KJ Apa in an Instagram Q&A with her followers. According to People, the model spoke about their break-up,
I think it’s better to have separated parents who are happy and can be the best versions of themselves rather than stay together if it's not working.

Neither Randolph nor Apa have confirmed the rumours. In a 2026 interview with InStyle, Michelle explained why she prefers to keep her love life private,
It’s just…I don’t think anything good comes from that (publicising her love life), because it’s your personal life. It should be personal and reserved for yourself and those who are close to you. So, ironically, I think I’ve learned that I want to keep it private.
