In April 2024, it was revealed he was dating Shakira after they worked together on her music video.

A source told the Daily Mail: "Shakira is desperate to fall in love – but her friends are concerned because Lucien has slowly crept his way up the celebrity ladder while dating women who were all less famous than Shakira.

"They are seeing each other but are not heavily involved yet."

Lucien has also been linked to former Little Mix Jesy Nelson after the pair were spotted kissing on a night out in London in November 2021.

The actor has been said to have dated a number of his co-stars including Brooke Vincent, Dominique Jackson, and Amy Childs — but nothing has been confirmed.
