Key Points Iris Apatow’s new movie, ‘Pretty Lethal,’ premiered at SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas. Iris has been romantically linked to The White Lotus actor, Sam Nivola, since 2024. Sam showed up and sweetly supported her at the premiere. Iris Apatow may have attended the SXSW film festival this past weekend, but it seems like her real-life romance is going all the way up. The actor headed down to Austin, Texas, on March 13 to celebrate the premiere of her new movie, Pretty Lethal, which also stars Uma Thurman, Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Millicent Simmonds, and Avantika Vandanapu. Her boyfriend of two years/fellow actor Sam Nivola (who you definitely recognize from The White Lotus) also pulled off a sweet gesture when he showed up to support her latest project.

But according to pics obtained by Just Jared, they cozied up inside the film’s premiere. Per footage captured by People,the couple was also seen stepping out of the same car together upon their arrival. Iris and Sam have been romantically linked since 2024, when she was spotted in some of his behind-the-scenes pics from The White Lotus set in Thailand. After a few appearances on each other’s Instagram grids, the couple didn’t become red carpet official until they attended Burberry’s East 57th Street NYC flagship store in October 2024. Since then, they’ve supported each other at industry events far and wide, from the 2026 Actor Awards to SXSW.

Funnily enough, I tend to ‘sit down’ with her at least once a day, because she is in fact my girlfriend and we do in fact live in the same apartment,” he wrote, in part, before showcasing their undeniable chemistry. He even took a moment to shout out Iris’ upcoming projects—including Pretty Lethal—at the end of their conversation. “Well, thank you so much for your time, Iris. I should probably take this time to plug your shit because that’s what people do on these things. So I’ll say Iris is a lead in the upcoming thriller movie Pretty Lethal, which will be out on Amazon on—” Sam said, before Iris chimed in, “I don’t think it’s announced yet.” (While we’re here, it has been announced since. The film hits Prime Video on March 25.) Loving their love!!
