Just a few months after her rumoured breakup with Aditya Roy Kapur, Bollywood actress Ananya Panday seems to have found love again. The actress has been making headlines for her rumoured relationship with Walker Blanco, a name that has caught the curiosity of many in the industry. If you’re wondering who this mystery man is, here’s everything you need to know about him.
Walker Blanco, whose Instagram profile suggests he hails from the United States, has reportedly become a significant presence in Ananya’s life. In July, Ananya fuelled dating rumours with cricketer Hardik Pandya after the two were spotted enjoying themselves at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding. However, it turns out that Ananya was actually accompanying Walker Blanco to the grand event. The two were seen sharing a cozy moment during the baraat procession, sparking further speculation about their relationship.
Blanco, who is originally from Chicago, Illinois, currently resides in Miami, Florida. He studied at Westminster Christian School in Illinois and is a former model who walked the ramp for Giorgio Armani’s Spring/Summer collection in 2020. His social media presence reveals his deep love for wildlife, frequently sharing photos and videos of reptiles, birds, and other animals. In 2018, Blanco posted several pictures of himself with animals from the Zoological Wildlife Foundation in Florida, showcasing his passion for the natural world.
In addition to his modeling career, Blanco reportedly works under the Ambanis at Vantara, an animal shelter in Jamnagar, Gujarat. His connection with the Ambani family likely explains his presence at the high-profile wedding alongside Ananya.
While Walker Blanco is yet to publicly confirm his relationship with Ananya Panday, their chemistry at Anant and Radhika’s wedding was evident to many. According to a report by the Bombay Times, Ananya introduced Blanco as her “partner” at the event and didn’t shy away from being seen together. The rumoured couple was also spotted dancing together, further fuelling speculation about their romance.
Ananya, who previously reportedly dated Aditya Roy Kapur for over two years, has been candid about her views on relationships. In a 2023 interview, she expressed her disdain for “situationships” and emphasised that she doesn’t believe in maintaining a relationship status just for social media.
On the professional front, Ananya made a special appearance in the film Bad Newz this year. Her latest lead role was in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, released in 2023. She now has two upcoming projects, CTRL and Shankara, in the pipeline.
