Elle Fanning has spoken about her family plans with boyfriend of three years Gus Wenner.

Starring in a stunning new cover shoot for ELLE UK, the actress, 27, made some rare comments about her relationship with the media executive, 35.

In her latest TV project Margo's got Money Troubles, Elle plays a young mother and the experience has left her even more keen to start a family, as she gushed: 'I've always just wanted that [a family], the baby-fever [on Margo] was nuts.'

And like her character in the Apple TV show, Elle has a clear vision of her future self, explaining of her ambitious outlook: 'You can dream up a path for yourself; a big plan of what you see your future looking like. I'm someone who does that, maybe to a fault sometimes.'

'About what I want to happen or where I want to be at a certain age. Sometimes those things do come true.'

She hopes those dreams will come true with her boyfriend, who she says is already 'like a family member.' 

'He's come into my life and he grounds me. He will be like, we need to do a getaway this weekend, so he'll plan something for us. I love him so much. He feels like a family member – like, my sister loves him, and my mom.' 

The romantic, who started dating Gus in 2023, has been sentimental about their releationship from the get-go, admitting: 'I'm a sucker for romance and I'm a sentimental person.'

'I love objects and little reminders of the past to mark chapters in my life. I save every note that my boyfriend has given me.'  

Elle and Gus made their relationship official when they attended the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards together in January 2024 and most recently walked the red carpet together at the 2026 awards do.

They both come from prominent show business families, as Elle is the younger sister of actress Dakota Fanning, 31.
