Who is Krysten Ritter dating?

Krysten Ritter is in a relationship with Adam Granduciel, frontman of the band The War on Drugs.

Ritter’s career in the entertainment industry began with modeling before she transitioned into acting. She was discovered at the age of fifteen and signed with Elite Model Management and later Wilhelmina Models. She moved to New York City when she was eighteen in order to pursue modeling as a full-time career. Her work in commercials, including a Dr. Pepper promotion, led to opportunities in acting. After an uncredited appearance as a model in Someone Like You (2001), she secured minor roles in film and television. She played an art history student alongside Julia Roberts in Mona Lisa Smile (2003), and later had recurring roles on Veronica Mars (2005-2006) as Gia Goodman and Gilmore Girls (2006-2007) as Lucy.

Ritter also worked in romantic comedies like 27 Dresses (2008) and Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009), before gaining critical acclaim for her role as Jane Margolis in Breaking Bad (2009). She went on to star in the cult sitcom Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 (2012-2013) and the vampire comedy film Vamps (2012). However, it was her portrayal of the title character in Jessica Jones (2015-2019) that cemented her status as a leading actress. She is set to appear as Mia Lapierre in the upcoming Dexter: Resurrection (2025).

Adam Granduciel, born Adam Granofsky is an acclaimed American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer. Originally from Dover in Massachusetts, he is best known as the frontman of the Grammy-winning indie-rock band The War on Drugs. He adapted his stage name during high school as a creative play on his original surname, “Gran-of-sky," with “du ciel” meaning “from the sky” in French.

Granduciel studied photography and painting at Pennsylvania's Dickinson College before pursuing a career in music. He moved to Philadelphia in 2003, where he collaborated with fellow musician Kurt Vile. Initially, the two recorded lo-fi music together and co-founded The War on Drugs in 2005. While Vile eventually left to pursue a solo career, Granduciel continued as the band’s driving force, leading with vocals and guitar.

To date, The War on Drugs has released five studio albums, including the critically acclaimed Lost in the Dream (2014) and A Deeper Understanding (2017). The latter won the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, establishing him as a prominent figure in the indie-rock genre. Granduciel has also worked with artists like Sharon Van Etten, Sore Eros, and also contributed to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter track “II Most Wanted.”

Krysten Ritter and Adam Granduciel’s relationship

Ritter and Granduciel met each other through their mutual friends in the entertainment industry. They reportedly have been together since the summer of 2014. While Ritter is primarily known for her extensive on-screen career, she is also passionate about music. Along with her childhood friend William Thomas Burnett, she is a part of the indie duo Ex Vivian. It was Ritter and Granduciel’s mutual appreciation and artistic inclination toward music that contributed to their connection. The two of them are known to maintain a relatively low public profile when it comes to their relationship and also tend to keep their personal life out of any Hollywood spotlight.

Ritter revealed her pregnancy in 2019, when she appeared on the Oscars red carpet together with Granduciel. They welcomed their son, Bruce Julian Knight Granofsky, on July 29, 2019. Ritter occasionally posts her son on Instagram as well, often covering his face with emojis or with him turned away from the camera, to maintain privacy. The couple is also seen together with their Bruce, attending local events or running errands. In 2024, Ritter attended one of The War on Drugs concerts along with her son and posted clips on Instagram to commemorate the experience. The couple is yet to announce any plans regarding their marriage, and remains committed together.
