Lexi Underwood’s Boyfriend: The Actress Does Not Choose a Partner Based on Looks

Lexi Underwood has yet to set the record straight about whether or not she has a boyfriend. However, the actress has opened up about what she looks for in a partner and revealed that she can relate to her on-screen character’s dilemmas.

Lexi Underwood has become a fan-favorite for her roles in “Little Fires Everywhere” and “Cruel Summer.” However, the actress’s love life and whether or not she has a boyfriend has also caught the attention of fans.

It remains unconfirmed whether Lexi Underwood has a boyfriend. Instead, the actress shared that a man’s kindness is sure to win her heart over his physical appearance.

In 2022, Underwood starred in Disney’s spin on the classic fairytale “Cinderella” that centered around sneakers. However, the actress revealed that a man’s footwear was the last thing she considered when assessing her dealbreakers. Underwood said:

“My dealbreaker has nothing to do with physical. My dealbreaker is more what you got going on inside. If you’re kind and you got something going for you, and you’re respectful, I don’t care what kind of sneakers you have on.”

She played Kira King in Disney’s “Sneakerella,” and young actor Chosen Jacobs played Underwood’s love interest El, an aspiring sneaker designer from Queens, New York. However, while the actors had great chemistry on screen, both revealed they were only good friends.

During an interview, the young stars played Seveenteen’s Besties On Besties and described their good friendship as “adventurous, creative, and musically.”

While fans continue to wait to hear more about the topic of Underwood’s boyfriend, the actress did admit to having a celebrity crush and revealed who it is: Harry Styles.

“I loved One Direction. I still love One Direction. Just everything that he stood for and still stands for, he’s just so incredible. I absolutely love him,” Underwood said.

Since sharing the small screen with Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington in “Little Fires Everywhere,” Underwood has continued to make great strides in her career and recently landed a co-starring role as Isabella LaRue in the second season of “Cruel Summer.”

In the show—co-starring Chiara Aurelia and Olivia Holt— Underwood’s character and her best friend, played by Sadie Stanley, find themselves in a messy situation as they grow feelings for the same boy.

However, Stanley shared, “I really like that they didn’t pit the two girls against each other over a boy. We’ve seen that a million times.” Viewers also watch Underwood’s character navigate her senior year of high school and figure out life, and the actress said:

“Just being able to see this young girl who puts on a facade but like you see that facade slowly crack and break over the span of the year, which is very real for me as well cause that’s very human.”

Since rising to fame, Underwood revealed that she had noticed different rumors on blog sites and articles alleging that actor Blair Underwood is her father. However, the “Cruel Summer” star set the record straight.

“I don’t even look like [Blair]. The only thing we have in common is that we share the last name, and we both are black. He is a great actor, but I’ve never even met him,” the actress said.
