Trevor Donovan is known for keeping his romantic life private, yet it hasn’t been devoid of excitement. Following the revelation of his character Teddy Montgomery’s sexuality on “90210,” Donovan noted in a 2011 interview that it positively affected his dating life, with women intrigued by him. However, he has never publicly disclosed any specific details about his romantic connections.
The details surrounding Donovan’s dating life are shrouded in secrecy. He has been linked with several notable personalities, including Sonia Rockwell, Kerry Kennedy, and Paris Jackson, yet he remains tight-lipped about these associations. A representative remarked in 2022 that Donovan prefers to keep his relationships away from the media to honor the privacy of those he dates.
While Donovan has confirmed the end of a recent relationship, information about this partner remains undisclosed. He is, however, quite open about discussing his character’s romantic journey in “90210,” indicating that he tends to reserve personal reflections on his private life for himself.
Paris Jackson and Kerry Kennedy denied dating Trevor Donovan
In the 2010s, Donovan was rumored to be involved with Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of the late political figures Ethel and Robert F. Kennedy, but her family denied any romantic connection. A family member clarified in 2014 that while Donovan and Kennedy traveled together, their relationship was simply platonic.
In 2020, Donovan expressed his fondness for both Kerry and her mother in an Instagram post, highlighting their long-standing friendship. Similarly, after being spotted with Paris Jackson in 2017, Jackson dismissed their hand-holding as a casual gesture, insisting it didn’t imply a romantic relationship. Donovan’s representatives also reaffirmed this friendship, stating they collaborated on an animal adoption initiative.
The only significant romantic involvement publicly known was his potential relationship with Sonia Rockwell from 2006 to 2009. However, neither party ever openly confirmed their romance, and it was mainly speculation based on their appearances at events together during that period.
Trevor Donovan’s chemistry with Emma Slater sparked suspicion
During Season 31 of “Dancing with the Stars,” the palpable chemistry between Trevor Donovan and his partner Emma Slater captured much attention, especially after their noteworthy performance in the semi-finals. Host Alfonso Ribeiro even stirred speculation with his question about how genuine their connection was, igniting a buzz among fans.
This speculation raised eyebrows, given that Slater had recently gone through a split with fellow dancer Sasha Farber, prompting discussions about respect and boundaries. Slater expressed her surprise at Ribeiro’s directness and emphasized the necessity of chemistry in dance, which was apparent in their performance.
Later, when rumors about Slater’s alleged relationship with Mauricio Umansky circulated in light of his separation from Kyle Richards, Donovan showed his support for her. In an October 2023 tweet, he explained that a strong bond naturally forms between dance partners under competitive pressure and suggested that some observers misinterpret their connection for drama that isn’t there.
