Eve Hewson is ready to further cement her mark in the entertainment industry, and distinguish her career from that of her famous father's.

As the daughter of U2 legend Bono, born Paul David Hewson, the actress grew up surrounded by stars.

Now, her star-studded surroundings have been amplified more than ever, thanks to her new role in the highly-anticipated drama series The Perfect Couple, based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand, which is out on Netflix September 5, and features major stars such as Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning and Meghann Fahy, among others.

Moreover, with acting credits dating back to 2008, and several other star-studded, buzzy projects to come, she's sure to become a household name sooner rather than later.

Get to know all about Eve below.

Eve's dating life

She was also briefly linked to The Handmaid's Tale actor Max Minghella, who was in an on-and-off relationship with Elle Fanning for four years, however her relationship status as of 2024 is unclear.
