Crystal Reed's romantic history includes a little-known first marriage to Peter Nottoli, a high-profile relationship with her Teen Wolf co-star Daniel Sharman, and a six-year partnership with Scottish-Australian TV presenter Darren McMullen. The Michigan-born actress, best known for playing Allison Argent in Teen Wolf and Sofia Falcone in Gotham, has largely kept her personal life out of the spotlight, but these key relationships are well documented.
Early Life and Rise to Fame
Crystal Marie Reed was born on 6 February 1985 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. She is of half-Polish and half-Native American descent and grew up in Detroit, where she began studying dance and theatre at a young age. Reed later attended Wayne State University, where she was admitted into the Bachelor of Fine Arts programme for theatre.
After moving to Los Angeles, Reed quickly found success on screen. She rose to prominence with her role as Allison Argent in the 2011 MTV series Teen Wolf and later played Sofia Falcone on Gotham. In 2023, she reprised her role as Allison Argent in the reunion film Teen Wolf: The Movie.
The Secret First Marriage: Peter Nottoli (2008–2012)
Crystal Reed's romantic history begins with a marriage that most fans did not know about. She was married to Peter John Nottoli for about four years. Court records show that Reed filed for divorce from Nottoli in Los Angeles County in 2011, and the divorce was finalised in 2012.
The marriage overlapped with the start of her Teen Wolf fame: the show premiered in June 2011, and she filed for divorce that September. The relationship ended as her career was gaining momentum, while Nottoli returned to private life.
The Teen Wolf Romance: Daniel Sharman (2012–2013)
Perhaps Crystal Reed's most talked-about relationship is the one she had with her Teen Wolf co-star Daniel Sharman. In 2012, Reed began dating Sharman after forming a close bond on the set of the hit MTV series. Sharman had a major recurring role as werewolf Isaac Lahey in the supernatural drama series beginning in 2012.
The pair were spotted together at locations around Los Angeles, and their off-screen connection fuelled considerable fan excitement. Crystal and Daniel dated for about a year before they split in 2013. Both actors were tight-lipped about their breakup, but Crystal took it pretty hard, so much so that she retreated to Paris to recover.
Many hoped to see Crystal and her ex-boyfriend Daniel reunite onscreen for Teen Wolf: The Movie, but that did not happen. There is no confirmed reason why Daniel did not return to play Isaac Lahey in the film.
The Long-Term Relationship: Darren McMullen (2013–2019)
After her early marriage ended, Crystal Reed went on to find love with a well-known name from Australian TV. Darren McMullen, born 10 February 1982, is a Scottish-Australian television and radio presenter. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and emigrated with his family to Australia at the age of 12. He is best known as the co-host of The Voice Australia.
Reed was in a relationship with McMullen from July 2013 until early 2019. The ex-couple first started their relationship in 2013, following Darren's breakup with Australian model Rechelle Jenkins two years prior. The couple were frequently seen together at public events and on social media, becoming one of the more visible celebrity pairs of the mid-2010s.
In 2017, McMullen told New Idea they wanted 'a lot of kids,' though he had also said he would not marry until Australia legalised same-sex marriage. Despite those plans, the relationship did not last, and they split in 2019.
Current Relationship Status and Latest News
Crystal Reed has no children. Despite Darren McMullen's public comments about wanting a large family together, the pair separated before having any children. Since 2019, Reed has kept a low profile when it comes to relationships, and as of this writing, she appears to be single. The actress has not been romantically tied to anyone since her breakup with McMullen.
In January 2020, Reed commented on Swamp Thing co-star Maria Sten's holiday photos from Italy, referring to her as 'my girlfriend.' Neither actress clarified the comment, and it may have been a joke between friends.
In recent news, Crystal Reed, John Travolta, and Chet Hanks have signed on to star in Ed, an AI-themed sci-fi horror thriller from director Christopher J. Scott and the Atlanta-based Pangaea Studios. The film centres on a sentient AI chauffeur bot that escapes the lab and begins killing reckless drivers under the guise of public safety. Reed also attended the US premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures' The Bride! in New York in March 2026, signalling she remains an active fixture on the Hollywood circuit.
