Marvel’s Chloe Bennet swaps the superhero realm for a heart-warming festive romance in Disney’s latest offering, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.
The Christmas film chronicles the Jonas Brothers’ frantic dash from London to New York as they battle time to reach home for the holidays.
The ensemble cast boasts Modern Family favourite Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Riverdale’s KJ Apa, alongside 33-year-old Chloe.
She portrays Joe’s childhood mate Lucy, whom he runs into during the journey. The pair reconnect and discover their bond remains strong despite years apart.
Audiences are bound to be charmed by this pairing, but who is the actress behind Lucy’s character?

The Chicago native is the daughter of Chinese dad Bennet Wang and American mum Stephanie Crane, reports the Mirror.
Originally christened Chloe Wang, she altered her surname to boost her prospects in Hollywood.
In 2017, the Agents of S. H.I. E.L.D star clarified her choice on Instagram.
Addressing a follower, she penned: “Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my blood is half-Chinese, that I lived in China, speak Mandarin, or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese.”
The performer moved to Beijing aged 15 to chase her musical ambitions.
She went on to say: “It means I had to pay my rent, and Hollywood is racist and wouldn’t cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable.
“I’m doing everything I can with the platform I have to make sure no one has to change their name again just so they can get work.”
Just a year prior to this statement, Chloe confessed to Daily Beast: “The first audition I went on after I changed my name, I got booked.”

At present, it appears that Chloe is single, but she has been linked to several well-known faces in the past.
Only last summer, she was seen on what looked like a dinner date with Welsh actor Taron Egerton. The pair were spotted together again at the premiere of Hulu comedy Interior Chinatown, in November 2024.
Just Jared suggests that Netflix star Taron was there to support Chloe, who starred in the limited series.
By December, the pair seemed to confirm their relationship with a public kiss. However, they never officially commented on their relationship and both seem to be single as of October 2025.
Before being linked to Taron, Chloe was previously in a relationship with YouTuber Logan Paul and One Tree Hill star Austin Nichols.
