Patrick Schwarzenegger is still riding high off his The White Lotus season 3 success, while Margaret Qualley continues to receive critical acclaim for her haunting performance in The Substance. While both rising stars were initially chucked with “nepo baby” accusations by naysayers, the celebs quickly grew on fans, who were moved by their nuanced performances on the big screen and small screen alike.
Now, fans can’t wait to see which projects Schwarzenegger and Qualley have in store for us next. Fortunately, the two are set to star in a female-directed romance, poetically called Love of Your Life. Maybe it’s just me, but I, for one, am dying to see a good old-fashioned, female-directed and female-written romance film, especially with Schwarzenegger and Qualley as the starring roles. I’ll have a sequel, a spin-off series, and a prequel, thank you very much (grabs popcorn bucket).
Here’s everything you need to know about Love of Your Life, coming soon.
What is Love of Your Life About?
Although there isn’t much information yet on this romantic drama, since it’s still in pre-production, what we do know is that it’s one of the hottest scripts in Hollywood. According to Deadline, everyone in the industry was stepping on one another’s toes to snag a leading role in this romance film. And, because of course she was, Sydney Sweeney was heavily eyed to portray the leading lady role. Yet ultimately, following Schwarzenegger’s gut-wrenching performance as Saxon Ratliff on The White Lotus, and Qualley’s horrifying charm in Oscar darling The Substance, it was practically a given that these two would snag the leading parts.
What we know so far is that reports say Love of Your Life will center around Margaret Qualley’s character as she reels from the recent death of her husband. While dealing with these complex and harrowing emotions, her former lover and dear friend, portrayed by Patrick Schwarzenegger, sweeps in to help her pick up the pieces. Another tidbit of info we’ve gathered is that the film will take place heavily in Europe. Très romantique!
Where can I watch Love of Your Life?
We don’t know the specifics yet, but it looks like Love of Your Life could release in theaters. We’re hoping for a 2026 release date, but stay tuned! Because the film industry is unfortunately so parched of female-written scripts and directorial roles, I, for one, cannot wait to see a romance movie through the female gaze.

So far the Love of Your Life cast is amazing, and it’s sure to continue to be! The cast includes:
Who is Behind The Amazon/MGM Romance Film?
If you’re not already in love, get ready. Because not only is the critically acclaimed Julia Cox behind the screenplay, but Rachel Morrison will direct. And the king of romance films himself, the one and only I-wrote-to-you-every-day-for-a-year Ryan Gosling, will produce Love of Your Life. Are you swooning? Because I’m swooning.
