Steven R. McQueen, known for his role on The Vampire Diaries and as the son of Stacey Toten and the late Chad McQueen—who passed away on September 11, 2024—is not just a television heartthrob but also carries a storied family legacy as the grandson of the legendary Steve McQueen.
He nearly left his bachelor life behind once, coming close to marriage. In December 2016, the actor started dating model Alexandra “Allie” Silva. Together, they traveled to places like Park City and participated in meaningful projects, such as building homes in Nicaragua, which brought them even closer.
With their shared experiences and growing bond, McQueen popped the question in January 2017. The engagement announcement set the internet abuzz, complete with an Instagram post from him captioned, “She said yes.”
Allie also mirrored her partner’s excitement on her social media, enthusiastically writing, “My best friend, love of my life…YES, yes yes a million times over,” indicating her eagerness to become his wife.
However, as unexpected twists define even the best love stories. Just over a year later, in May 2018, they decided to end their engagement. McQueen shared in an interview with the US Weekly,
You know what? Actually, we called it off. We did. But yeah, it’s just the way it was. It happened.
The post-breakup phase didn’t sour their respect and care for each other. They continue to follow each other on social media, a sign that they ended their relationship on good terms.
Today, Steven enjoys his single life, focusing on personal development and his advocacy work. Only time will tell who might be the next person to capture his heart.
His Dating History Includes Some Big Names
Before his near-marital bliss with Allie, Steven’s love life was quite the talk of the town. Between 2014 and 2016, whispers of a budding romance with Olivia Pickren set the rumor mills churning. The two were spotted at numerous events, including the illustrious Annual Saturn Awards, though they never confirmed their relationship.
Going further back, he was also in a relationship with Hillary Harley from 2011 to 2013, which was more visible to the public eye. They met on the set of The Vampire Diaries. Their time together included several public appearances, including a memorable outing at the Celebrity Charity Poker Tournament.
Even before his relationship with Hillary, Steven briefly dated his Vampire Diaries co-star Candice Accola in 2010. Although their relationship was short-lived, they were often seen enjoying the party scene together, making the most of their time as a couple.
