Netflix’s Voicemails For Isabelle has grabbed significant attention in the last few weeks. The movie was released on June 19, 2026, and the viewers are so in awe that they are not yet able to stop talking about it. The romantic comedy, which is wrapped with emotions from every corner, unfolds the love story of ‘Jill’ and ‘Wes’.
Whether it was feeling butterflies or ugly crying, the plot was something that hit the exact right spot, leading the movie to snatch a special place in the audience’s heart. With the movie’s release, questions arose about whether the film was inspired by real-life events, along with another general question about the leads, Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson’s real-life bond. So, let’s dive deep to find all the answers.
Are ‘Voicemals’ stars Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson dating in real life?
Coming to the most-asked question by the fans, ‘Are Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson dating in real life?’ Zoey plays the role of ‘Jill’ while Nick is seen as ‘Wes’ in the movie, and their chemistry is something that led people (mainly hopeless romantics) to well up, for all the right reasons.
As the duo was able to grab significant attention with their on-screen romance, their fans, out of craze, have been shipping them in real life, too. A certain section of the fans has also been wondering whether Zoey and Nick are dating in real life, and whether that contributed to the burning on-screen romance.
Even though fans are excited, the answer is simply ‘no’. Zoey and Nick aren’t dating in real life, and rather, they have been friends for a long time. Yes! Both Zoey and Nick grew up in Los Angeles and moved in similar circles in high school. The duo stayed in touch, and it was in the project, Voicemails For Isabelle, that the duo first worked together.
As they had been friends for a long time, the chemistry flowed naturally, and they didn’t have to put in extra effort. Speaking on Entertainment Tonight, Zoey revealed that she actually had a crush on Nick, and that is why she was really mean to him (well, that’s just a girlie thing). Zoey also mentioned that Nick was her go-to person back then, while he found her very intimidating. Zoey said:
“I had a crush on him, so I was mean to him, which was my like sort of go-to then. She then followed up by saying, “I was like, ‘You’re cute, so let me be like poke at you.’”
Speaking of their real-life romance, Zoey Deutch is engaged. The actress has been together with actor and comedian Jimmy Tatro since 2021, and it was in September 2025 that the couple exchanged rings. Speaking of Nick Robinson, his relationship status is unclear as of now. The actor had been linked to Samantha Urbani in the past. The duo reportedly met in 2019, and had been together for several years. However, back in October 2025, in a post, Samantha called herself a single woman.
Is the movie, Voicemails For Isabelle, based on a real story or not?
Along with the release of the movie, people questioned whether the movie, Voicemail For Isabelle, is fiction or not. To mention, it’s half true. Written and directed by Leah McKendrick, the movie is actually inspired by a true story but follows a fictional plot line. Leah McKendrick, speaking to PEOPLE, revealed that she wrote the movie seven years ago.
The idea came to her after she attended a comedy gig, where a comedian joked about her dad sending her 20-minute voicemails, which she stopped receiving three years ago, as he was dead. This comment on a comedy show made Leah laugh out loud and think that if her sister dies one day (she is alive), the writer-director, who also acted in the movie, would just keep calling her. Speaking about the same, Leah said:
“And then I thought if my sister died, I’d be waiting for her to call me back. And then I thought, no, if my sister died, I would just keep calling her. And what a horror story it could be if somebody were to ever hear my most unfiltered self. But you would know that if somebody fell in love with that unfiltered self, it would be real.”
