Dylan Efron likes to keep his private life private, but the Traitors season 3 winner let the world know he’s off the market after the season ended in March 2025.
Efron appeared on “The Viall Files” podcast on Friday, March 7, where he crushed the hopes of smitten fans everywhere by announcing he’s in a relationship.
“I’m in a relationship,” he said at the time. “It’s cool because she’s actually not on social media and she works a 40-hour week job.”
His girlfriend is Courtney King, and the two met in high school, though it’s not clear when they began dating. Regardless of how the pair got their romantic start, Efron hinted that a proposal could be on the horizon.
“Well, she knows the answer. We’re working on it,” he told “Viall Files” podcast host Nick Viall and wife Natalie Joy. “Courtney’s so down-to-earth, she’d never [impose a deadline]. Look, we’re 33. She’s not going to put a deadline on it.”

Efron posted a series of shirtless photos on the beach that have gone viral amid his Traitors fame. He later revealed that King took the photos.

She doesn’t really like being on camera. She loves your guys’ podcast. I wouldn’t know about it [without her]. She’s the one who introduced me.”
