Dating Life
After seeing Dane DiLiegro and his co-star Paula Abdul on the red carpet together for Prey, some fans speculated that love was in the air.
After seeing a photo of the couple together on Tuesday, fans couldn’t get enough of them.
The actor, who stands over 7 feet tall, was seen towering over the petite Straight Up singer in the viral photo.
Having said that, Radar later confirmed that the dating rumor was false and entirely platonic.
Furthermore, the rumors began to circulate after a tip was sent to Deuxmoi, a celebrity news Instagram account, claiming the two stars were “all over each other” at the premiere.
However, the former professional basketball player-turned-actor quickly clarified his relationship status on Instagram Stories.
“I’m also not dating anyone, so whatever information is being put out there is fraud information,” DiLiegro captioned a photo of herself with a thumbs up for the camera on Thursday.
Despite the fact that they look stunning together, the couple is not romantically linked and prefers to remain single.
DiLiegro is focusing on his new film, according to Meaww, and the former American Idol judge, who was previously romantically linked to JT Torregiani, is keeping herself busy by attending various events.
Dane DiLiegro discusses “Prey” and his upcoming projects
“I retired from basketball just over three years ago and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting,” Dane DiLiegro told Entertainment Weekly. “I had two characters in mind who I wanted to play.”
He shared that one was the Predator, and the other was Jason Voorhees.
“I still can’t believe I was chosen to play the Predator. “It’s still difficult for me to accept,” DiLiegro added.
“I’d look through two holes in the neck,” DiLiegro said of his Hulu’s Prey training. I had to look at the ground to get this Predator to look forward. My vision was impaired, and I did a lot of training with my head down.”
“I’d pull my baseball cap down over my eyes during rehearsal. If the behind-the-scenes photos are released, you’ll notice that I’m wearing a baseball cap with the head removed for rehearsal.”
Prior to his role in Prey, he appeared in American Horror Stories and as a zombie in The Walking Dead.
