Lucas Bravo appears to have found romance offscreen.

The Emily in Paris star, 38, was spotted getting cozy with actress and comedian Mary Beth Barone during an outing in Cannes.

In a video shared by French magazine Paris Match, Bravo and Barone, 34, were seen together inside the Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, during Cannes Film Festival festivities. At one point in the video, Bravo affectionately rubbed Barone’s back as the pair stood close together chatting.

The pair were also photographed on a night out in Cannes on Thursday, May 14.

Barone is best known for her stand-up comedy and roles in projects like Black Mirror and Overcompensating as well as her self-produced special Thought Provoking and popular podcast RIDE with Benito Skinner.

Bravo previously dated Shailene Woodley in 2025.

The outing comes weeks after Bravo told PEOPLE at PaleyFest in Los Angeles on April 10 about the most romantic gesture he’s ever made for a partner.

“I think the most romantic thing I’ve ever done is I took a seven-hour flight just to hug my partner, and I had to leave 10 minutes after that,” Bravo shared.

“I was working, I had like 24 hours, and my partner was feeling lonely, so I took a plane seven hours,” he continued. “I just surprised her, hugged her, spent a little time with her, comforting her, and then I left for the airport. I spent 14 hours in the sky for a 10-minute hug.”

In a 2020 interview with Glamour, the actor revealed that one of his favorite things in a relationship is “when [a partner] wakes me up in the morning with cuddly, tender … just a sweet wakeup.”

He later reflected on his outlook toward romance during an October 2024 appearance on the Podcrushed podcast.

“Early on I discovered that it was the fastest way to grow up,” Bravo said of relationships. “It was the fastest way to accept some of the things you thought were issues, physically wise or mentally wise.”

“To be able to be fully yourself in the presence of someone else, and to see that you’re not a monster or you’re not weird, it’s mind-opening, it’s crazy,” he added.
