Many viewers first met Maika Monroe while gripping a cushion through a horror film. Her name draws steady questions about dating, looks, ethnicity and money, and most online answers cite no source, so this piece separates what her credits and dated reporting support from what celebrity sites repeat, starting with the basics: Wikipedia (open encyclopedia) lists her birth as May 29, 1993, in Santa Barbara, California.

What movies and TV shows has Maika Monroe been in?
Monroe’s credits run from indie drama to studio sequel to horror, and the horror work is where most readers start.
It Follows (2014)
- Monroe headlined the film as Jamie “Jay” Height, and it premiered at the 67th Cannes Film Festival, according to Wikipedia (open encyclopedia).
- In coverage of her interviews, she said the film “changed my life,” according to People (entertainment magazine).
Longlegs (2024)
- Monroe played FBI Agent Lee Harker opposite Nicolas Cage, according to IMDb (film database).
- According to Wikipedia (open encyclopedia), Longlegs became the highest-grossing independent feature of 2024.
At Any Price (2012)
- Her film debut was the 2012 drama At Any Price, in which she played Cadence Farrow, according to Wikipedia (open encyclopedia).
- Rotten Tomatoes (review aggregator) ties the debut to the 69th Venice International Film Festival.
- According to ScreenDollars (celebrity profile site), the film premiered in competition at Venice and was released by Sony Pictures Classics.
Later projects
- Monroe played Patricia Whitmore in Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) and McKayla in Hot Summer Nights (2017), alongside Timothée Chalamet, according to Wikipedia (open encyclopedia).
- She plays Winifred Notty in the Gothic horror film Victorian Psycho and is slated to reprise Jay in They Follow, according to People (entertainment magazine).
- She starred in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him in March 2026, according to Wikipedia (open encyclopedia).
The implication: Monroe’s filmography is the most checkable part of her public profile, so it deserves the most weight. Landman stays off this list because no supplied source confirms a role.
Who has Maika Monroe dated?
Dating is where online claims run furthest ahead of the record.
Is Joe Keery married to Maika Monroe?
- No marriage between Monroe and Joe Keery appears in the supplied sources.
- Wikipedia (open encyclopedia) describes a relationship between the two dated 2017 to 2022, while other reports give 2016–2018 and 2017–2023.
Are Maika Monroe and Dalton still together?
- Wikipedia (open encyclopedia) lists real-estate agent Dalton Gomez as her partner since 2023, and the supplied sources show no official confirmation from the couple.
- Whether the relationship continues requires dated reporting from named outlets, and none appears in the inputs.
Her career record rests on dated credits, while her partner record rests on one encyclopedia entry that does not confirm the Gomez link, per Wikipedia (open encyclopedia).
The catch: a name on an encyclopedia page is not a confirmed relationship, and the page itself stops short of confirming this one.
Why does Maika Monroe look different?
Appearance questions usually arrive with confident explanations, and the sources in this review offer none that hold up.
Has Maika Monroe lost weight?
- No source in the supplied material documents a weight-loss statement from Monroe.
- No supplied source gives a cause for changes in her appearance.
- Any appearance claim should be attributed to a named person in a dated interview before it is repeated.
Why this matters: repeating an unsourced weight-loss claim gives it reach without evidence, and the record supports only a plain answer: nothing verified exists.
What ethnicity is Maika Monroe?
No supplied source states Monroe’s ethnicity in her own words. UrbanMixr (UK lifestyle blog) reportedly lists descriptions that vary, including Irish, Scottish and English, and the same pages cite no primary interview.
Is Maika Monroe related to Brittany Murphy?
- No verified family link to Brittany Murphy appears in the supplied inputs.
- Sharing a name with someone is not evidence of family ties.
Are Maika Monroe and Marilyn Monroe related?
- BritainDaily.uk (UK news site) reportedly says the two are not related and that the surname is a stage-name choice.
- A shared surname does not establish family ties, so the name alone settles nothing.
What this means: any ethnicity label you read is a guess until Monroe or a dated biography states one.
What is Maika Monroe’s net worth?
No net-worth figure in the supplied inputs comes with a disclosed method.
Verified financial reporting
- No authoritative disclosure appears in the inputs, and the figures that circulate conflict.
- Celebrity Birthdays (celebrity data site) puts the figure around $1 million.
- iFANN (wiki-style celebrity site) estimates $5 million as of 2026, derived from acting salaries, and calls that an estimate rather than a disclosure.
- Unsourced aggregator pages cannot support a net-worth figure.
Figures from $1M to $8M across aggregators are not a range of evidence. They repeat the same missing disclosure with different numbers.
The trade-off: a precise-looking number draws clicks, but without a stated method it gives readers nothing they can check.
Confirmed facts
- Born May 29, 1993, in Santa Barbara, California, per Wikipedia (open encyclopedia)
- Birth name Dillon Monroe Buckley, per Wikipedia (open encyclopedia)
- Lead role in It Follows (2014), which premiered at Cannes, per Wikipedia (open encyclopedia)
- Lead role in Longlegs (2024), opposite Nicolas Cage, per IMDb (film database)
What’s unclear
- Net worth: estimates run from $1M to $8M, with no verified figure
- Ethnicity: no self-description in the supplied sources
- Height: reported as 5’5″, 5’6″ and 5’7″, with no verified value
- Joe Keery relationship span: sources disagree
- Dalton Gomez partnership: not confirmed by the couple
- Landman role: no supplied source confirms it
Monroe’s own words are the only direct quotes in the supplied material, and each is tied to its outlet.
“He’s the best. He’s such a genuine human.”

“Incredibly impactful for me. It also felt unique, and it was something I had never done.”

No second named speaker is quoted here. Reports of her dislike of typecasting lack a located original interview, so they stay out of this article.
Monroe’s credits, from It Follows to Reminders of Him, can be checked line by line, while claims about her dating life, looks, ethnicity and money mostly rest on repetition. Upcoming releases such as Victorian Psycho will add dated credits to test against. For readers deciding what to repeat, the choice is clear: cite the filmography, or hold every personal-life figure until a named source with a stated method backs it.
