The 26-year-old model was also seen with Marsden at a fashion show in October 2022, and Vanity Fair Oscar Party in February 2023 although there were no photos of them together at both events, per report.
Merritt and the “Enchanted” star also follow each other on Instagram.
Merritt and Marsden have yet to address the status of their relationship, as of this writing.
Merritt, who was previously linked to actor Jared Leto and Olympic swimmer Conor Dwyer made history as the first Filipino to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2018. She then signed a contract with Viva Artists Agency in June 2020.
Meanwhile, Marsden is best known for starring as Prince Edward in “Enchanted” and its sequel “Disenchated,” Scott Summers and Cyclops in the “X-Men” film series, Lon Hammond Jr. in “The Notebook,” and Richard White in “Superman Returns,” among others.
