Who is Darren Barnet dating? These are the details about his current love life.

Although Never Have I Ever is Darren's main claim to fame as an actor right now, he also starred in a movie called Love Hard that premiered on Netflix in 2021 (among other roles). Interestingly enough, the most recent woman he was romantically linked to was one of his co-stars from that movie. We’re not referring to Nina Dobrev!

Mikaela Hoover is the actress who played bombshell beauty Chelsea. According to Women’s Health, the starting date of Mikaela and Darren's relationship is a bit of a mystery. They let the world know they were romantically connected when they went Instagram official in April 2021. Still, they didn’t reveal any details about when they first crossed paths or made their relationship official.

If Darren is indeed done with Mikaela, it would mean he's living the single life right now.
