Not much is known about when exactly they had met for the first time. In a 2016 interview to ‘E!,’ Allison confessed that she had been dating Philip for “about a year” back then. She also described him as “pretty handsome.”

However, it is believed that they had met back in 2012, when they worked together in the movie ‘The Way Way Back.’ The project, which had Allison playing ‘Betty’ and Philip working as a production coordinator, released the following year.

Rumors suggested that they had started dating. Their debut public appearance was said to be at the premiere of the film ‘Minions’ on June 11, 2015, in London.

However, they had been clicked together at the ‘Critic’s Choice Television Awards’ back in 2014. The photo showed Philip kissing Allison on her cheek, while she smiled at the camera.

Though they are quite serious about each other, it is unlikely that they would get married soon, as Allison had once revealed that she had no faith in the institution of marriage.
