Devon Lee Carlson and Julian Casablancas’ Insta interactions has fans convinced they’re dating
On 11 June 2022, Julian Casablancas posted a series of images to Instagram. The third of seven images posted in the ‘photo dump’ was captioned “Random Spanish Girl”. Some internet users have alleged this “random girl” is Devon Lee Carlson.
It just so happens, Devon Lee Carlson was in Barcelona on a trip to Spain at the same time Julian Casablancas was there. Two days before Casablancas shared his Instagram post, Carlson posted an Instagram story wearing a zebra-print dress from Reformation; this resembles the dress worn by the “Random Spanish Girl” in Casablancas’ Instagram post.
The coincidence has some convinced, as explained on the Reddit thread, that the two were spending some time together in Spain.
Carlson follows Casablancas on Instagram, although he doesn’t follow the Wildflower Cases founder back. That hasn’t stopped the two interacting, though. Devon Lee Carlson reportedly commented “you are so dope” on one of Casablancas’ recent Instagram posts.
