Dacre Montgomery's Girlfriend Turned Fiancée: All About Their Relationship

Though both followed paths in the arts, their shared passion for design brought them closer. Over the years, they've openly spoken about their relationship and the admiration they hold for one another.

Dacre Montgomery, an actor from Australia, rose to fame playing Billy Hargrove in the horror hit "Stranger Things." Despite his rising profile, his long-term bond with Liv Pollock remains steady and unaffected by the spotlight.

Who Is Dacre Montgomery's Girlfriend Liv Pollock?

Back in 2018, Pollock was a 19-year-old model represented by Vivien's and had just one year of modeling experience under her belt. At the time, she was also studying architecture at the University of Western Australia but decided to pause her studies. She explained in a 2018 interview:

"I'm having a gap year from architecture to explore and travel as I believe life experiences are an equally powerful means of learning."

Modeling opened new doors for her, giving her the chance to meet new people and explore the world. She planned to keep working in the industry while also completing her architecture degree.

Alongside her career goals, she shared a deep interest in health and wellness, noting that daily yoga and cardio were key parts of her routine.

How Dacre Montgomery's Girlfriend Liv Pollock Became His Partner in Life and Home

Pollock revealed that she and Montgomery first crossed paths through shared work connections in Perth. Their relationship began to take shape after they started talking on social media, gradually growing closer with time.

Their bond grew even stronger when they lived together in Atlanta for three months during the filming of "Stranger Things" Season 3. Montgomery shared how much it meant to create a home together in a separate interview:

"Especially when you're away from home, building a world for yourself and building that comfortability whether it's the bed sheets or the curtains or whatever it is, it's been great."

Their time setting up a home together was just one example of how well they worked as a team. In another interview, Pollock opened up about what keeps their connection strong.

Pollock said their relationship was based on shared values and a love for adventure. She also explained that Montgomery's fame was never something they allowed to affect their bond, and she believed it never should.

The fashion model also pointed out that their shared love for creativity helped bring them together. Both she and Montgomery care deeply about design, which played a big part in their connection. While Montgomery studied interior design, her own interest in the field brought them even closer.

Their shared interest in design became more than just a common passion — it also motivated Pollock to take new steps in her own life. In another interview, she said:

"My boyfriend is a day-to-day inspiration for me. He works harder than any other human I've ever met, with passion pouring out of everything he does."

That influence led her to explore new goals beyond modeling, which included studying design at Swinburne University in Melbourne. "I don't want to put all of my eggs into one basket," she added.

Dacre Montgomery's Vacation and Engagement with Liv Pollock

After spending more than six years together, Montgomery and Pollock took a break from their busy lives to enjoy a peaceful trip to Europe. In July 2023, they were seen soaking up the sun on the Greek island of Mykonos. Montgomery relaxed at beach clubs like SantAnna and Branco Mykonos, while Pollock enjoyed the water in a striking zebra-print bikini.

Following their summer in Greece, a special moment took place later that year, far from the spotlight and full of meaning. In December 2023, Pollock shared on Instagram that Montgomery had proposed on November 28.

"6 years turned into a lifetime," she wrote, announcing their engagement. The moment happened inside their first home, just before they began renovating it.

Loved ones surprised them with a dinner in what will later become their bedroom, leaving heartfelt notes on the walls — messages meant to stay hidden for years.

Montgomery gave her an emerald, her favorite gem, set on a plain band so they could design the ring together. She ended the post with, "Thank you for showing and giving me the world @dacremontgomery."
