In a surprising turn that’s set Hollywood abuzz, Antony Starr has been swept off his feet. Yup, you read that right, he’s dating and you’ll be surprised when you find out who.
With the release of The Boys’ fourth season on June 6, 2024, fans have been eagerly diving into every detail of their favorite Homelander’s off-screen life, particularly his romantic escapades.
And it appears the dashing New Zealand actor isn’t just winning battles on screen. Starr, 50, is currently in a relationship with Sandra Vergara. Yup, the surname didn’t just sound familiar, she’s Sofia Vergara’s adopted sister.
The couple made a stunning debut on the red carpet at the Venice Family Clinic’s Inaugural HEART Gala on May 11, 2024, in Culver City, California.
The sparks didn’t stop there. Since their glamorous outing, Starr and his new girlfriend have been painting the town red—or at least their social media profiles—with glimpses of their blossoming romance. From captivating stories to enchanting photos, their posts showcase a budding romance that’s captured the hearts of many.
A day after their public debut, the duo took to their social media profiles to seal their status. Sandra, 38, posted a photo with the caption “Too cool for school,” and fans quickly responded with well-wishes.

One fan wrote, “Wishing you endless happiness and celebrating such a beautiful couple, one can tell from Mr Starr’s smile that he is majorly happy.” Another added, “I’m soo happy for you both.”
The social media love fest continued with Antony sharing the same photo on his Twitter, captioning it simply, “Great night.” The response was equally warm, with one fan exclaiming, “They are looking so beautiful.”
As the comments and likes pour in, it’s clear that this new Hollywood duo has the town talking—and eagerly watching for what comes next.
Starr’s Sexuality Is Now Clear as a Day
Unless you are living under a rock or something, surely you know that there’s been an ongoing discussion about Starr’s sexual orientation. But now that he’s with Sandra, this should put the rumor to rest.
Sandra Often Shows Support to Her Beau’s Ventures
As the excitement built around The Boys season 4, Antony wasn’t the only one promoting his hit series. Shortly after Prime Video released the teaser, the actor took to his Instagram story to hype up the new season. And in a sweet show of support, his partner Sandra also quickly reshared his story on her own profile, subtly signaling her backing and affection for her lover’s latest project.
For those of you who don’t know, Sandra is a Colombian actress and television host. She is also pursuing a career in art, frequently sharing her unique and beautiful sketches on Instagram.
Both of Them are Not a Big Fan of Cancel Culture
Antony and his gf Sandra have made it pretty clear—they’re not fans of cancel culture. Their stance was made clear when Sandra took to social media to call out the whole cancel culture, and Antony quickly jumped in, backing her up. He commented, “This is so true. We are in an age where ‘facts’ are labeled alternative and truth is a secondary citizen to sensationalism and soundbites. I love what you are doing.”
His response felt like a defense against all the rumors swirling around him, including whispers about his alleged bullying on the set of The Boys—gossip that some fans think played a role in Dominique McElligott leaving the show. Plus, people can’t help but compare Antony to his character, Homelander, who’s, let’s be real, the epitome of narcissism.
Things got even messier when some of Sandra’s followers called Antony “right-wing” because of his comment. She was quick to shut that down, saying he’s definitely not on that side of the political fence.
A Look at His Former Flames
Before his romance with Sandra, Starr was linked to several figures in the entertainment industry. Notably, he was rumored to have been in a relationship with Lucy McLay, a talented costume designer.
Throughout the 2000s, they were often spotted together at high-profile events, including the Air New Zealand Screen Awards in August 2007 at Sky City Theatre and the Qantas New Zealand Television Awards in September 2008 at the Civic Theater, both in Auckland.
Their connection extended beyond personal interactions; they collaborated professionally on several projects including Outrageous Fortune, Without a Paddle, and Mercy Peak. A lot of sources claim Lucy was Antony’s wife, but we’ve already debunked the rumor. Antony was not married to Lucy but instead to Emma Lahana.
Furthermore, he was also rumored to have been involved with Erin Moriarty, his co-star from The Boys.
