Who Is Milo Manheim? All About Camryn Manheim's Straight Child After Actress Says 'Gay Sons Are the Best'

A Disney breakthrough, a string of reported romances and a very public comment from his mother have put Milo Manheim back under the spotlight.

The actor rose to fame as Zed in the Zombies franchise before his mother discussed her hopes that her only child would be gay during remarks at the Human Rights Campaign's National Dinner on 26 September 2026.

The comments have drawn fresh attention to Milo's personal life, which he has generally kept private.

Who Is Milo Manheim? From Camryn Manheim's Son to Disney Star

Born on 6 March 2001, Milo Manheim is Camryn Manheim's only child. He was raised in Los Angeles by the actress, who had him via sperm donation from her friend and former model Jeffrey Brezovar.

Milo has described his relationship with his mother as particularly close, saying they spent his first 18 years together and developed a shared connection through acting.

Milo studied drama at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before landing his breakthrough role as Zed in Disney Channel's 2018 film Zombies.

He returned for Zombies 2 and Zombies 3 and later appeared in Prom Pact, Journey to Bethlehem, Thanksgiving and the Paramount+ series School Spirits. He also finished as runner-up with Witney Carson on season 27 of Dancing with the Stars in 2018.

Milo has also taken on stage roles, including an off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors. He is set to play Flynn Rider in Disney's upcoming live-action Tangled adaptation, alongside Teagan Croft as Rapunzel.

Who Has Milo Manheim Dated? His Reported Relationships

Milo's dating life has attracted plenty of speculation, but the available accounts do not all carry the same level of confirmation. Who's Dated Who lists Holiday Kriegel as a former girlfriend in 2018 and currently lists Milo as single, while other reports have linked him to model Alexis Ren, actress Peyton Elizabeth Lee and actress Nell Verlaque.

The reported connection with Ren followed sightings at Coachella in 2019, but neither confirmed a relationship.

Speculation about Lee developed around their friendship and work together, while reports about Verlaque emerged after they appeared in Thanksgiving and exchanged playful social-media posts. Neither pairing was publicly confirmed as a relationship.

Milo has also been repeatedly linked by fans to Zombies co-star Meg Donnelly, although the two have publicly described themselves as friends. A separate 2025 report mentioned a rumoured connection with singer Lizzy McAlpine, while Who's Dated Who currently identifies that connection as a rumour.

As for his current status, Milo is reportedly single. Who's Dated Who currently lists him as single, although its dating history includes unconfirmed entries, so there is no confirmed public announcement of a current relationship.

Why Is Milo Manheim Trending After Camryn Manheim's HRC Remarks?

Milo became a fresh subject of discussion after Camryn spoke while presenting Marcia Gay Harden with the Ally for Equality Award at the Human Rights Campaign's National Dinner. During the remarks, Manheim said, 'I always wanted a gay son', before describing her affection for the relationship between gay sons and their mothers.

She later added, 'I mean, let's just admit it, gay sons are the best, right? Right!' Manheim also discussed photographs of Milo wearing high heels and performing in drag, saying she had believed she had 'this f***ing thing locked up' before discovering, in her words, that he was the only straight man in his musical theatre company.

The comments have renewed attention on Milo, while reports about his dating history remain a mixture of a reported past relationship and unverified speculation. Milo himself has generally kept his romantic life out of the spotlight.
