The television adaptation of Elle Kennedy\u2019s Off Campus <\/a>series finally dropped last week and in a matter of days has created an obsession of epidemic proportions. While the entire cast have fans feeling some kind of way, there\u2019s one man specifically that\u2019s sent the internet into meltdown: Stephen Kalyn.<\/p>\n

The Canadian-born actor portrays loveable flirt and notorious ladies-man, Dean Heyward Di-Laurentis in the Prime Video series and for those who have read the books, the overwhelming reaction toward Kalyn\u2019s character should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n

The favourite MMC of the series is a topic that will always cause debate, but if you ask me, Dean is the only logical choice. He\u2019s flirty, gorgeous, a little bit of a bad boy and yet still has a heart of gold. What more could a woman want?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you could want to know about your new celebrity crush.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stephen Kalyn Movies & TV Shows\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Off Campus may seem like a breakout role for the 28-year-old but Kalyn has been acting for years with his first credit dating back to 2018 in a short film called, Child 92.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s since become something of a Prime Video <\/a>fixture: he appeared in the pilot of Amazon\u2019s buzzy Cruel Intentions reboot, played the younger version of Ryan Phillippe\u2019s character in Motorheads, and joined the satirical superhero chaos of Gen V Season 2 as Greg, a fellow God U student.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also starred opposite Sara Waisglass in the indie thriller Cascade, where his character Vince and a group of teens find themselves dangerously out of their depth after stumbling upon a crashed drug plane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Does Stephen Kalyn Have A Wife?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s only natural you\u2019d be curious as to the actor\u2019s love life. While he does keep his relationship relatively under wraps we do know Kalyn is engaged to long-time partner Victoria Lovatsis. Exactly how long the couple have been together is difficult to determine, some reports suggest 2012 but this is unconfirmed. Based on Lovatsis\u2019 Instagram we can deduce they\u2019ve been dating as far back as 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple are engaged with reports revealing Lovatsis first flaunted her diamond ring on her Instagram Stories back in 2024.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During their recent Off Campus press tour, Kalyn referred to Lovatsis as his fiance, revealing she was the one who pushed him to audition for the role of Dean.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily for me, my fiance has read all the books. So she actually kind of told me about them\u2026 When they announced that the show was going to happen, she said, \u2018You need to get Dean. That\u2019s you got to get that part. That\u2019s perfect for you,\u2019\u201d he told Pedestrian TV.<\/a><\/p>\n

He went on: \u201c\u2018Be the playboy guy who gets all the girls. You sure?\u2019 And she\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, you\u2019re the guy. You got it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
