Ross Lynch is kind of the internet’s boyfriend, but his actual dating life is a total rollercoaster. You’ve seen the thirst traps. You’ve heard the bass lines in The Driver Era. But if you’re looking for a simple "yes" or "no" on who he’s seeing right now, you have to dig through a lot of noise. Honestly, the transition from his long-term era with Jaz Sinclair to the current 2026 rumors is pretty messy.
Fans are still reeling. It’s been a while since the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina stars called it quits, but for many, that wound is still fresh.
The Breakup That Changed Everything
Ross and Jaz Sinclair weren't just a "showmance." They were together for nearly five years. That’s a lifetime in Hollywood years. They survived the transition from Netflix costars to a real-world couple, frequently appearing in each other’s TikToks and Instagram stories. When they split in early 2023, they didn't put out a big PR statement. They just... stopped.
People noticed.
By mid-2023, the silence was deafening. Fans on the Lynch Family Snark Reddit and Twitter (X) started tracking everything from deleted photos to who was unfollowing whom. It turns out, Jaz had reportedly moved on by the summer of 2023, while Ross seemed to enter a bit of a public spiral. If you listen to the lyrics of recent Driver Era songs like "Get Off My Phone," the heartbreak is pretty literal.
Who is Ross Lynch Dating Now?
The short answer? It’s complicated. Since late 2024 and through 2025, Ross has been spotted with a girl named Anna.
She’s not a famous actress. She’s not a pop star. This has driven the fandom into a bit of a frenzy because she’s relatively private. Unlike Jaz, who was already in the spotlight, Anna seems to want to keep her head down. This hasn't stopped people from spotting her at shows or on the tour bus. Ross has even referred to her as his "girl" during live performances, which is about as close to an "official" confirmation as we’re going to get these days.

- The Rebound Theory: Some fans think Anna is just a distraction from the Jaz heartbreak.
- The Privacy Shift: Ross seems to be over the "Instagram Official" life. He’s mentioned in recent interviews that he wants to keep his private life, well, private.
- Family Dynamics: There’s been a lot of talk about how the Lynch family—specifically Stormie and Rydel—feels about the new girl. It’s a lot of pressure for anyone.
Why Fans Can’t Let Go of Jaz
It’s hard to replace a six-year history. Jaz Sinclair wasn’t just a girlfriend; she was part of the creative process. The Driver Era’s album Girlfriend was basically a love letter to her. When Ross performs those songs now, you can see the shift in energy.
There was a brief moment where people thought he was dating a girl named Indie, an "indie-cool" girl he met during a summer in Paris. That seemed to fizzle out fast. It felt like a classic "summer in Europe" fling that couldn't survive the reality of a world tour.
The Reality of Dating a Rockstar in 2026
Ross is 30 now. He’s not the Disney kid from Austin & Ally anymore. His lifestyle is chaotic. Between touring with Rocky and filming new projects, there isn't much room for a "normal" relationship.
The internet is also a lot meaner than it used to be. Anna has had to go private on social media multiple times because of "fans" attacking her looks or her background. It’s a toxic cycle. You want your favorite celeb to be happy, but the second they find someone, the scrutiny starts.
What You Should Actually Pay Attention To
If you want to know what’s really going on with Ross Lynch’s girlfriend status, don't look at the captions. Look at the music.
Ross has always been an "open book" songwriter. If he’s happy, the music is upbeat and funky. If he’s struggling, we get the moody, synth-heavy tracks that have defined the 2025-2026 Driver Era sound. Right now, he seems to be in a "settling" phase. He’s looking for stability after a few years of being a "walking disaster," as some harsher critics put it.
Actionable Insights for Fans
- Respect the Privacy: If a partner is private, there is a reason. Digging for info usually just pushes the couple further underground.
- Separate Art from Life: Just because Ross sings a breakup song doesn't mean he's currently single. Musicians often pull from old wounds for new hits.
- Check the Tour Dates: Most "spottings" happen during The Driver Era tours. If they are in your city, keep an eye on the side-stage area—that’s usually where the inner circle hangs out.
The Ross Lynch and Jaz Sinclair era is over. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the "Anna era" is clearly here to stay for a while. Whether it’s endgame or just another chapter, Ross is clearly trying to figure out how to be a boyfriend while the whole world is watching.
