What is the relationship of K.J. Apa?

Dating History.
K.J. Apa has starred alongside Ashleigh Murray in Riverdale (2017), Amandla Stenberg in The Hate U Give (2018), Britt Robertson in A Dog’s Purpose (2017), Camila Mendes in Riverdale (2017), and Hayley Law in Riverdale (2017).

Britt Robertson

KJ Apa met Britt Robertson on the set of ‘A Dog’s Purpose’ in 2017, his first acting job away from home and first feature film. The two have just reunited as co-stars in the upcoming film I Still Believe, which is expected to be released in 2020. It appears that the second time is the charm for these two, who were thought to be romantically together as of Summer 2019.

KJ was photographed at Entertainment Weekly’s Comic-Con party in July, holding hands and kissing Britt. They were also apparently hanging out with KJ’s Riverdale co-stars throughout the evening. Although neither star has confirmed the romance, a source told Us Weekly that they are dating. Regardless, their Comic-Con PDA has fans talking.

Korinne Isherwood

Riverdale fans discovered the identify of a female they thought was dating KJ Apa in 2018. Apa was briefly linked with Corrine Isherwood, a Canadian model. Corrine was 16 years old, and KJ was 20 at the time. In addition, Hollyscoop alleged that they have been linked since November 2017.

On several occasions, the two were pictured flying to New Zealand together and spending time with family and friends. Since KJ films Riverdale in Canada, it’s not unreasonable to assume that their paths would have crossed at some point, but neither has verified the relationship claims.

In an earlier interview with Seventeen, he stated that he was open to finding love when the stars aligned: “The thing is, I don’t think it matters whether you’re looking for a relationship or not—it’s not for us to decide when we meet the love of our lives.” He also told Cosmopolitan, “I believe I’m simply waiting for the perfect moment, right girl. I’m pretty busy right now. I’m not sure how much I have to offer someone right now. It appears like he may have discovered the one.

Clara Berry

He currently has a relationship with Clara Berry, which started in 2020. Clara is a prominent French model. They appear to have a strong bond together. They are having a fantastic and excellent time right now.

He shared an Instagram photo of himself kissing a seemingly unknown girl. The woman’s face is obscured in that photograph, making it difficult to identify her. Apa captioned her Instagram post “coupe de foudre,” which translates to “love at first sight.”

Surprisingly, the post occurred at a time when many people thought Apa and his “I Still Believe” co-star Britt Robertson were starting a romance, according to MTV.

Furthermore, Apa and Robertson never confirmed or denied their connection, and it looks that the actor has discovered his true love in Berry. Berry’s admirers assumed he and Apa were dating after they liked and commented on one other’s Instagram images in December.

K.J. Apa: Professional life, Career

KJ recorded his first solo guitar CD when he was fourteen years old. His acting career took off practically right after he started pursuing it. With little acting experience, he landed the grim part of suicidal teen Kane Jenkins in New Zealand’s longest-running primetime soap drama, Shortland Street, while still in high school.

Furthermore, Apa played Kane for two seasons before having to cut his plot short when Hollywood came calling. He landed the starring role in The CW’s Riverdale. But landing the post was not without its challenges. The series’ creators spent an exhausting six months sifting through innumerable redheads in the Los Angeles area to select their starring male, and they did it at the last minute.

Furthermore, Apa stated that his initial audition was mediocre, with his over 12-hour plane travel from New Zealand not aiding his chances. After being summoned back for a second audition, he found his groove and let his musical abilities shine.

More

“K.J. Apa read for us and he was immediately Archie Andrews,” series executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told Vulture in 2017. “It had the appropriate balance of earnestness and edge. And he played guitar like a dream.” Apa was more at ease when he performed Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Mary Had a Little Lamb” on his electric guitar for casting directors.

“There were a couple of Southern people in the theater, so I brought my guitar,” Apa recounted, laughing. “I felt confident after I played that song because music comes really naturally to me and it’s always something I’ve been passionate about.” Apa’s boyish good features and early experience as a dark character made him the ideal leading man for Riverdale.
