13 Reasons Why star Dylan Minnette and rocker girlfriend Lydia Night have parted ways after four years
The actor Dylan Minnette and his musician girlfriend Lydia Night have broken up after four years together.
Fans began to suspect the split after Dylan, whose Netflix series 13 Reasons Why ended its run in 2020, wiped his Instagram account, which previously featured photos of himself and Lydia.
Lydia, 22, confirmed that she and the 25-year-old actor had split in a message posted to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday.
‘i’ve seen a lot of speculation and i’d rather just clarify: dylan and i have decided to end our romantic relationship [sic],’ the Regrettes musician began her text post.

She added, ‘we love and care about each other very much and that won’t change as we enter a new phase in our lives. please respect our privacy during this time.’
Unlike Dylan’s complete Instagram wipe, Lydia appeared to be retaining her account and still had several photos of herself and Dylan as a couple.
Breakup rumors swirled around the two going back to the summer of 2022, as they began to disappear from each others posts and shared more reserved photos, though they were still pictured together into the autumn.
The two were first linked in late 2018.

Although Dylan is primarily known for his acting work, he and Lydia shared a passion for music, and he was a member of the rock trio The Wallows.
His acting career has stayed busy in recent years.
Following a series of smaller roles, he broke out in 2016 with a lead role in the well-reviewed horror film Don’t Breathe, before joining 13 Reasons Why in a lead role the following year.
The dark teen drama followed Dylan’s character and his high schooler friends as they tried to understand the suicide of his classmate Hannah (Katherine Langford), whom he had nursed a crush on.
More recently Dylan was featured in the 2022 Scream sequel, as well as in the acclaimed Hulu series The Dropout, which starred Amanda Seyfried as the convicted fraudster and Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.

Lydia is the daughter of filmmaker and musician Morgan Higby Night, so she had an early exposure to music and the arts.
In 2002, when she was just 12, she formed the band Pretty Little Demons, which managed to attract the attention of Ryan Gosling and his band Dead Man’s Bones.
Her band later adopted its current name, The Regrettes, and released its debut album in 2017.
