Cooper Hoffman and Nico Parker: A Nepo-for-Nepo Couple
Cooper Hoffman, known for his role in Licorice Pizza, is in a relationship with actress Nico Parker, who is the daughter of Thandiwe Newton. Their paths crossed while filming Maude Apatow's directorial debut, Poetic License, in late 2024. The 23-year-old Hoffman shared with The Hollywood Reporter that their romance blossomed a few weeks post-filming when Parker came to New York to meet his mother. This relationship marks a nepo-for-nepo pairing, as Hoffman is the son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Additionally, he mentioned that Paul Thomas Anderson suggested he take a role as a COVID production assistant on Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans in 2021 to gain insight into the filmmaking process. Currently, Hoffman stars alongside Olivia Wilde in Gregg Araki's erotic comedy-thriller, I Want Your Sex. Parker earned a BAFTA Television Award nomination for her performance in The Last of Us in 2025.
