When 17-year-old Joey King suggested that Netflix adapt the novel “Uglies” into a movie, the idea seemed distant. Now, the film is garnering massive global viewership, becoming not only one of September’s biggest hits but also a standout success for the second half of the year.
The story is set in a dystopian future where the world has depleted its natural resources, leading to societal chaos. In an effort to restore peace, scientists develop genetically modified orchids as a new energy source and introduce a surgical procedure that makes everyone “pretty,” aiming to eliminate chaos through uniform perfection.
This sci-fi picture is powered by a talented cast of rising stars, including Chase Stokes, Keith Powers, and Jan Luis Castellanos. Among them is Brianne Tju, who is gaining increasing popularity thanks to the title’s success, leaving fans curious about her personal life. Here’s a look at who she’s dating in 2024.
Is Brianne Tju single or taken? All the details on her love life
Brianne Tju, one of the most promising young actresses, first rose to prominence as Riley Marra in MTV’s “Scream”. She has since solidified her reputation with roles in “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” the coming-of-age drama “Three Months” alongside Troye Sivan, and the Winona Ryder-led 2022 mystery thriller “Gone in the Night”.
However, it’s her role in “Uglies” that has catapulted her to global recognition, leaving fans curious about her personal life. The answer to the questions regarding her dating status is that she is in a strong relationship with Robert Lowry, who is no stranger to the entertainment industry.

Lowry, 37, is a highly regarded music supervisor with an impressive track record, having worked on 90 scores, including acclaimed projects like “Cha Cha Real Smooth” and “Do Revenge”. His latest involvement was in “Uglies,” where he collaborated with Tju—a meaningful partnership both professionally and personally. In an Instagram post, Lowry reflected on the experience, writing:
“To work on a project that @briannetju is a part of has been a dream. Always so proud and in awe of her and to play a small part in supporting her creatively this way, getting to watch cuts with her and place music to her scenes for the last year has been one of the most fun and fulfilling creative experiences of my life”.
While it’s unclear exactly when or how the couple met, their relationship seems well-established, with Just Jared even referring to Lowry as Tju’s fiancé! The article, which covered Joey King’s wedding in September 2023, mentioned that the couple had been invited as a pair, suggesting a serious commitment.
Although they don’t post about each other frequently on social media, they consistently support one another, celebrating big milestones and attending important events like premieres and promotional activities together. It seems their bond is strong, and a wedding could be close!
