Pop the champére: Minnie Driver is headed to Europe.
The actress will officially be joining Emily in Paris’ season five as Princess Jane, Netflix announced May 14. As for who Jane is? Well, she’s a friend of Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) who married into a royal family.
"It’s why I’m in Rome!” Driver wrote of her announcement on Instagram, which featured a snap of her looking surprised and another of her posing on a car. "Second slide depicts moment of being told what was happening, third slide : ALL THINGS ITALIAN, (you know, except Adidas, but I stand by the wild garlic) I am BEYOND thrilled to be joining this sensational cast and show."
Not that she’ll feel like a newbie. After all, Lily Collins been in her life since 1999's Tarzan. "Did you know I’ve known the sweet angel that is @lilyjcollins since she was 11?" she wrote. "Because her dad: Tarzan( sort of) and Me: Jane."
It’s not the first time fans have said bonjour to season five updates, either. Last month, Camille Razat, who plays Emily's frenemy Camille, announced she would not be returning.
“After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris," the actress wrote in an April 23 Instagram post, alongside pictures of her and her castmates. "It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories."
Plus, the cast—including Ashley Park (Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie) and Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello)—will return to the City of Lights.
As for Emily’s latest love interest Marcello? Well…
"Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily because we ultimately want Emily to be able to have a better work/life balance," Lily recently told Netflix's Tudum. "We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time."
As for the cast IRL? For some, their love lives are just as perfect. Read on for all the amour…
Lily Collins
When Emily in Paris' Lily Collins met Charlie McDowell, she felt the amour right away.
"We both are in the industry and we have parents that are in a similar industry as well, but we met randomly, actually," the actress, who is the daughter of Phil Collins and Jill Tavelman, told Ellen DeGeneres in 2022 about her relationship with the filmmaker, whose parents are Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. "So we were kind of surprised we hadn’t met yet. We’d been in the same rooms a bunch of times and never met. But it was kind of one of those cheesy-but-true love-at-first-sight things."
The couple—who worked together in Gilded Rage and Windfall— made their romance Instagram official in 2019. The following year, they got engaged in New Mexico while on a road trip, with Charlie proposing with a rose-cut diamond ring.
The two tied the knot in a private Colorado ceremony in 2021 and have continued to take on the world together.
"We can kind of conquer anything," Lily told E! the following year. "We've been through so many changes globally, personally. And to be able to have a partner next to you that makes you laugh in times when you need it the most and helps you emotionally get through things, like moving to a foreign country for four months, I just feel so grateful that I have someone next to me to be able to accomplish that and your best friend with you all the time."
Lucas Bravo
Lucas Bravo has a big little relationship.
After remaining mum about his love life, the actor confirmed his relationship with Shailene Woodley in April 2025. While speaking to People, Lucas gushed about their budding romance , noting, “Yeah, I'm really happy."
Lucas and Shailene, 33, first sparked relationship rumors when they were photographed the month before, showing a little PDA as they walked the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district in Paris.
Ashley Park & Paul Forman
Not only do Paul Forman and Ashley Park's characters date on Emily in Paris, they're also a couple IRL.
"We fell in love as friends and as actors and as scene partners first," the actress told E! News at the season four premiere in August 2024 about working together, "so it was really fun to dive back into that together and see each other in a professional setting. Because we respect each other so much in a professional way."
Months after sparking romance rumors, Ashley confirmed her relationship with Paul in January 2024 and shared how he'd been there for her during a health scare—noting "what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs."
"I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "Grateful most of all to @peforman for being unconditionally by my side through all this. You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know. I love you Paul. More than I can ever say."
Kate Walsh
Excusez-moi, but have you heard the story of how Kate Walsh met her fiancé Andrew Nixon?
"We met, as one does, on a Nat Geo expedition to Antarctica," she said on a 2023 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, joking, "There’s an app for it, guys. Just look out."
So it's safe to say it'll be hard to top that vacation. "It was an incredible trip," the Grey's Anatomy star added. "And then bonus, found the love of my life."
Kate let it slip they were engaged when she referred to Andrew as her fiancé during a 2022 Instagram Live celebrating the 15th anniversary of her show Private Practice.
Previously, she was married to producer Alex Young. According to Today, the two tied the knot in 2007 but filed for divorce less than a year later, with it being finalized in 2010.
Camille Razat
In 2021, Camille Razat announced her engagement to photographer Etienne Baret.
“Blessed @etiennebaret," the actress wrote on Instagram in a since-deleted post alongside footage from the proposal, per ELLE Australia. "Thank you to my amazing friend(s) I love you!”
They were last photographed together at Milan Fashion Week in 2023.
Lucien Laviscount
After Lucien Laviscount made a steamy appearance in the music video for Shakira and Cardi B's song "Puntería," he was spotted enjoying a cozy dinner with the "Hips Don't Lie" artist.
And while neither one commented on the romance rumors, the actor did reveal what it was like to work with Shakira.
"To work with such an amazing talent, artist and human being was incredible," Lucien told E! News in May 2024. "I took so much from that, and I think everyone can learn from that beautiful woman and who she is."
"The way that she operates with her team, and her passion for things, and how she envisions things, and how she wants things to be done, it's all from the heart and how she expresses that to people," he added. "People will go to the ends of the earth for her—her team, the people that are around her, everyone on that set—because it comes from the heart."
Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu
While Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu doesn’t mind sharing what she really thinks of her character Sylvie’s clothes, she isn’t as open about her personal life and has kept it private.
William Abadie
Want to date William Abadie? If the answer is oui, you're not alone. In fact, he's received quite a few DMs.
“They say things like: ‘Please be my boyfriend’ or ‘Take me to the Eiffel Tower,’ and it’s very flattering,” the actor told the New York Post in 2020. “I’m always very thankful and try to reply to their comments.”
Though William didn't reveal his relationship status, he did share his approach to love.
“I don’t want to be too pushy about anything,” he added. “I’ve just tried to let the stars align.”
