Are Mason Thames & Nico Parker dating?

No, Mason Thames and Nico Parker are not dating. Thames is currently in a relationship with actress and singer McKenna Grace. Parker’s relationship status is unknown.

Mason Thames debuted his relationship with McKenna Grace in a TikTok where they locked lips. According to some fans, they’ve been “hinting” at their relationship “for awhile.”

In an interview with Seventeen, Mason Thames gushed about working with his whole entire cast. I don’t think I’ve met a bad seed yet,” he told the publication. “Especially on How to Train Your Dragon, where we just built a family because we were in Ireland for nine months and our apartments were right on top of each other. Every night, we’d normally go to Julian [Dennison]’s apartment and he’d make us some food, and we’d all sit and watch movies. It was really great. Gabe [Howell], Bronwyn [James], Harry [Trevaldwyn], and Nico [Parker] are just such incredible people. I love them so much, and I couldn’t have done this without Nico. That’s my Astrid.”
