Dating & Relationship Status
As of the most recent updates, Kaitlyn Dever is not publicly known to be dating anyone, and there are no major relationships reported in the media. She maintains a relatively private personal life, focusing primarily on her career and creative projects.
Her father also briefly ventured into acting, most notably voicing Barney the Dinosaur on the PBS children's show Barney & Friends for a short time. She has two younger sisters. When she was five years old, she developed an interest in the performing arts and her parents subsequently enrolled her in an acting school; she also participated in ballet, gymnastics, and ice skating, but seeing Toni Collette's performance in The Sixth Sense (1999) inspired her to focus on acting. Her family moved to Dallas, where she filmed a number of commercials, then settled in Los Angeles.
Dever's first notable acting role was as Gwen Thompson in the 2009 film An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong. In 2011, she garnered an early breakout role as Loretta McCready in the FX series Justified. In the same year, she was cast as a series regular in the ABC (and later Fox) sitcom Last Man Standing, starring with Tim Allen as her father. Starting with the seventh season of the series, Dever transitioned to a recurring role, allowing her to focus on other film and television projects.
In 2020, Dever appeared in the Quibi comedy series Home Movie: The Princess Bride, directed by Jason Reitman, to raise money for World Central Kitchen. Later that year, she co-starred in the Audible audio drama When You Finish Saving the World, written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg. The story is told from the perspective of three family members at different stages of their lives. Dever voices Rachel, an 18-year-old woman recording tapes for her boyfriend stationed in Afghanistan. In 2020, Dever starred in the television special Coastal Elites, directed by Jay Roach for HBO. On August 17, 2020, she was cast as Zoe Murphy in Stephen Chbosky's 2021 film adaptation of the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen.
From an early age, Dever's parents inspired her musically. Her mother played the Alanis Morissette album Jagged Little Pill on car trips in Dallas, and her father taught Dever and her two sisters to harmonize. Dever and her sister Mady learned piano in their early childhood, but Dever switched to guitar after getting one as a Christmas gift at the age of eight. She cites artists such as ABBA and The Cure as inspirations. Dever and Mady performed in elementary school talent shows together under the name Hot Pink, performing covers from artists such as Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson. They later changed their name to Anime Pearl, performing various gigs in small clubs across Los Angeles. Jason Reitman, who started sending songs back and forth with Dever during the making of Men, Women & Children, attended one of these gigs.
