Who is Zazie Beetz's boyfriend?

The star has been in a relationship with David Rysdahl for six years. He also works in the entertainment industry and per his IMDb page, he is an actor, writer, and producer. Some projects he had prominent roles in include That's Not Us, Black Swell, The Revival, and Stay Awake. His writing has appeared in Black Swell, Limbos, and Diwal'oween. IMDb has also listed him as the writer for the upcoming movie Shelter, in which Zazie will be starring.

Shelter will not be the first time the couple has worked together. Both of them have also been in the movie Nine Days.

Unlike Zazie — who was raised in the concrete jungle that is New York City, and specifically in the borough of Manhattan — David spent his early life in a small town called New Ulm in Minnesota. He attended St. Olaf College in his home state as well.

Zazie — who has over 700,000 followers on Instagram — and David — who has a little over 5,000 followers — are always posting photos of each other. But, if we're being honest, David might just beat Zazie when it comes to who posts more about their significant other.

If you check out David's Insta profile, you might think you accidentally clicked on a Zazie fan page because he literally only posts about her, which is adorable.
