A familiar face is getting a royal welcome on Emily in Paris.

Actress Minnie Driver has been added to the cast of Lily Collins’ Netflix series for its fifth season, set to air soon. Driver, known for her role in ‘Good Will Hunting’, will portray Princess Jane, a friend of Sylvie (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) who is married into a royal family. This was announced by the streaming service on May 14.

Minnie herself disclosed on her personal social network that this is the cause behind her current stay in Rome. Additionally, she posted a picture showing her reaction – evidently taken during the instant when she learned about the situation, characterized by an expression of surprise.

The Grosse Pointe Blank star expressed great excitement, saying, ‘I can’t wait to be a part of this extraordinary cast and production!’

In addition, Minnie acknowledged her own relationship with Lily: The recent arrival lent her voice to the character Jane in Disney’s 1999 animated movie, “Tarzan,” which boasts a soundtrack composed by Lily’s father, Phil Collins.

Minnie shared, “I’ve actually known the lovely Lily Collins since she was just 11 years old!” She mentioned this because her father is none other than the ‘Tarzan’ character, while I am ‘Jane’ from that story.

Pop the champére: Minnie Driver is headed to Europe.

It has been confirmed that the actress will be cast in season five of “Emily in Paris” as Princess Jane. This role was announced by Netflix on May 14. To clarify, Princess Jane is a character who is friends with Sylvie (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), and she married into a royal family.

She excitedly expressed on Instagram that she’s in Rome now! The post included two pictures – one showing her looking stunned and another of her posing next to a car. The caption continued, “Slide 2 shows the moment I found out about it, Slide 3: ALL THINGS ITALIAN (except Adidas, but I love wild garlic). I’m absolutely ecstatic to be part of this extraordinary cast and show!

It’s clear that Lily Collins has been a part of her life for quite some time, as evidenced by their connection dating back to the 1999 film “Tarzan”. To put it another way, she’s known Lily since she was just 11 years old. As she herself put it, “Did you know I’ve known the sweet angel that is @lilyjcollins since she was 11?” She added, “Because her dad: Tarzan(sort of) and Me: Jane.

I myself am no stranger to the enthusiastic greetings that come with updates on season five. Just last month, Camille Razat, the talented actress portraying my character’s rival Camille, shared the news of her departure from the show.

In an Instagram post on April 23rd, the actress announced that she will be leaving the show “Emily in Paris”. She described it as an amazing adventure that brought about personal growth, artistic exploration, and memories that she will never forget. The post also featured pictures of her with her co-stars.

In addition, the ensemble featuring Ashley Park as Mindy, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, and Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello will be back in the City of Lights.

As for Emily’s latest love interest Marcello? Well…

According to Lily, Marcello presents an entirely new journey we wish for Emily. Our ultimate goal is for Emily to achieve a healthier work/life balance. We aspire for Emily to smile genuinely without any constraints. We want to witness Emily in a way beyond her vacation self, and Marcello seems to arrive at just the right moment.

As for the cast IRL? For some, their love lives are just as perfect. Read on for all the amour…

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres in 2022, Lily Collins, star of Emily in Paris, shared a heartwarming story about her relationship with filmmaker Charlie McDowell. Despite both being from the entertainment industry and having parents who were also in the same field, they had never crossed paths before. However, when they finally met, it was an immediate connection. Collins described it as a “cheesy-but-true love-at-first-sight” moment. The couple, who worked together in Gilded Rage and Windfall, made their relationship public on Instagram in 2019. They became engaged the following year in New Mexico during a road trip, with McDowell proposing with a rose-cut diamond ring. The two were married in a private ceremony in Colorado in 2021 and continue to support each other through life’s challenges. Collins expressed her gratitude for having McDowell by her side, especially during difficult times like moving to a foreign country for extended periods.

Lucas Bravo has a big little relationship.

Previously keeping quiet regarding his personal matters, actor Lucas openly acknowledged his romantic involvement with Shailene Woodley in April 2025 during an interview with People. Speaking candidly, he expressed his contentment, saying, “Indeed, I’m very pleased with our developing relationship.

It was speculated that Lucas and Shailene, both aged 33, may have been in a relationship after they were captured on camera exhibiting affectionate gestures while strolling through the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris a month earlier.

Apart from sharing romantic scenes as characters in the show “Emily in Paris,” Paul Forman and Ashley Park are indeed a couple off-screen as well. In an interview with TopMob News at the season four premiere, Ashley shared her experience working with Paul, stating that their friendship and professional bond made their on-set collaboration enjoyable. She mentioned how they had immense respect for each other professionally, which added an extra layer to their partnership.

In January 2024, Ashley confirmed her relationship with Paul and expressed her gratitude for his support during a health scare she experienced. What started as tonsillitis escalated into critical septic shock, affecting several of her organs. Despite the initial grim prognosis, Ashley’s health has since improved, and she took to Instagram to express her love for Paul, crediting him with being by her side throughout the ordeal, providing comfort in ambulances, foreign hospitals, ICUs, and countless tests and treatments while they were far from home. She concluded by saying that she loves Paul more than words can convey.

By the way, have you come across the tale of how Kate Walsh found her future husband, Andrew Nixon?”

In a 2023 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, she humorously mentioned, “We connected, as one often does, on a National Geographic expedition to Antarctica. There’s an app for it, folks. Keep your eyes open.” So, it seems their trip was quite unparalleled. As the star of Grey’s Anatomy put it, “It was an extraordinary journey. And to top it off, I found the man I would spend the rest of my life with.”

Kate hinted at their engagement when she referred to Andrew as her fiancé during a 2022 Instagram Live celebrating the 15th anniversary of her show Private Practice. Before this, she was married to producer Alex Young. According to Today, they got married in 2007 but parted ways less than a year later, with their divorce being finalized in 2010.

In 2021, Camille Razat publicly announced her engagement to photographer Etienne Baret on Instagram. According to Elle Australia, the actress posted a now-deleted message that read, “Lucky @etiennebaret, I love you!” followed by footage from the proposal. The couple was last spotted together during Milan Fashion Week in 2023.

Following Lucien Laviscount’s steamy appearance in Shakira and Cardi B’s “Puntería” music video, there were whispers of a romantic dinner between him and the “Hips Don’t Lie” artist. Neither party confirmed the rumors, but Lucien did share his experience working with Shakira. In an interview with TopMob News in May 2024, he expressed, “Working alongside such a remarkable talent, artist, and individual was extraordinary. I learned so much from her, and I believe everyone can benefit from the wisdom of that exceptional woman.”

He continued, “Shakira’s approach to her work, her team, and her passion for her projects is truly heartfelt. Her vision and determination resonate with everyone on set because it comes from the heart.” This sentiment was echoed by those around her, as they would go to great lengths for her due to her genuine nature.

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu is comfortable discussing her thoughts on Sylvie’s wardrobe, but prefers to maintain a level of privacy when it comes to her own personal life and personal matters.

Are you interested in dating William Abadie? If your response is yes, you’re not the only one. Interestingly, he has received numerous direct messages.

The actor shared with the New York Post in 2020 that they often receive sentiments such as ‘Will you be my boyfriend?’ or ‘Can you take me to the Eiffel Tower,’ which he finds quite flattering. He is always grateful for these expressions and makes an effort to respond to them.

Though William didn’t reveal his relationship status, he did share his approach to love.

“I don’t want to be too pushy about anything,” he added. “I’ve just tried to let the stars align.”
