Sounds like your boyfriend Nicholas Galitzine is single y'all.

Galitzine, who’s gained some time in the spotlight recently due to his starring roles in the summer blockbusters Red, White & Royal Blue and Bottoms, has discovered some of the challenges that come with fame.

The London-born actor has garnered a substantial LGBTQ+ fanbase by portraying several queer characters in his career. From the 2016 indie classic Handsome Devil alongside Andrew Scott to his role in Red, White & Royal Blue, Galitzine is no stranger to playing gay heartthrobs. His next endeavor involves taking on another queer role in Sky's historical drama Mary & George, where he will play George Villiers, the lover of King James I.

As Galitzine travels the globe for shoots and promotional tours while managing his burgeoning stardom, however, he is encountering some downsides when it comes to dating.

In an interview with L’Officiel, he said, "It's definitely hard. My last couple of girlfriends, I feel like we've had to go our separate ways essentially because of the travel. It's difficult. People who also work in the industry get it, but it’s definitely not conducive to nourishing relationships.”

The travel also helps weed out who’s serious and who’s not. Galitzine said, “I think you find out who the people are who you are really connected with. I’m one of [those] people who makes the effort to connect. Even if I’m on the other side of the world, if I care about someone, I take the time.”

While acknowledging the challenges of maintaining relationships in the entertainment industry, Galitzine also expressed his admiration for those who are able to make it work.

However, he remains focused on enjoying the present, saying, "I'm young and I'm having a great time. Work's been great to me, and I'm just trying to take it all in and not put any unfair pressure on myself."
