For the past 20 years, Shelley Hennig, an American model and actress, has been involved in the entertainment industry. She has won a Teen Choice Award, been nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards, and received other distinctions.
Before opting to pursue an acting career, Hennig competed in beauty pageants and won the Miss Teen USA 2004 title. After securing her first notable role as Stephanie Johnson on the serial opera Days of Our Lives, she made an appearance in The CW’s supernatural adolescent drama The Secret Circle.

Internet users have been interested in Shelley Hennig ever since her appearance on Teen Wolf, with some even inquiring, “Is she married?” or “With whom is Shelly Hennig currently in a relationship?”
This is everything we currently know about the actress’s romantic past.
Shelley Hennig’s relationship and dating history
Hennig keeps details of her personal life incredibly private. She has never spoken or disclosed her lover or dating past as a result.
Her social media accounts give the impression that she is single because she hasn’t posted anything about being in a relationship. Having said that, it’s plausible that Hennig is seeing her partner right now but hasn’t revealed anything.

Therefore, everything is just conjecture until the actress confirms it for herself. She has, nevertheless, previously been connected to a number of persons.
She reportedly dated Jay Johnson from 2008 till 2013. Rumor had it that the two dated when Days of Our Lives was being filmed.
The well-known duo created a lot of buzz in the entertainment industry during this time. They never did, however, divulge anything about how they got together or how their relationship progressed.

There are rumors that she was seeing Darin Brooks as well. It was also rumored that she was dating Thomas Dekker because there were multiple pictures of her holding him close.
The rumors were never verified, though, as none of them ever admitted their relationship.
Rumor had it in 2013 that she was dating Ben McKenzie. Although they never officially announced their romance, US Weekly said that following Wesley’s breakup with Torrey Devitto, the two were out on a double date with Paul Wesley and Phoebe Tonkin.
“[They were] on a double date with Ben McKenzie and Shelley Hennig,” the eyewitness said to the publication. Ben and Shelley appeared to have been paired by Paul and Phoebe; it appeared to be a first date.
Shelly Hennig has most recently been connected to Ian Bohen. The actress posted a picture of herself and Bohen on Instagram, seemingly flirting with each other.
Hennig and Bohen have been good friends ever since they were cast together on Teen Wolf. It was only right that they kept posting a ton of pictures on their personal Instagram account, considering how close they were off-screen.

But in reality, there was never any romantic involvement between the two. Since most fans of the show shipped their characters, Hennig went on a date with Tyler Posey, her co-star on Teen Wolf.
Although a lot of people took it seriously, the date was really only a comedy.
Shelley Hennig’s net worth and career
Hennig was a model before she became an actress. Despite working in the entertainment sector for twenty years, she has never disclosed her net worth.
In any case, a lot of conjecture surrounds it. Hennig’s estimated net worth is $1 million, based on Celebrity Net Worth.

Her acting and modeling careers are the source of her net worth. Hennig won the title of Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2004 after competing in a state pageant in Lafayette, Louisiana, in November 2003.
She is not familiar with competing in state pageants. She represented Louisiana in the Miss Teen USA 2004 pageant, held in Palm Springs, California.
Following her victory in Miss USA 1996, Ali Landry made history as Louisiana’s first Miss Teen USA winner and its first female national champion. Two of her Miss Teen USA awards were a one-year modeling contract with Trump Modelling Management and a scholarship to the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts.

As Miss Teen USA, Hennig represented the Miss Universe Organization. During her reign, she gave a number of speeches in public and had several guest appearances on television, one of which was an NBC soap opera as part of her award package.
She also worked with a number of other nonprofit organizations, including Seeds of Peace, DARE, Sparrow Clubs, and SHiNE. She ended her reign as Miss Teen USA on August 8, 2005, when she crowned Allie LaForce of Ohio as the new winner.
Hennig lost The Reality Show on MTV not long after handing up her title, despite her best efforts to win the show. She and Seth Goldman co-hosted the Miss Teen USA 2008 pageant on August 16, 2008.

The Netflix series Obliterated is Hennig’s most recent endeavor. Josh Heald, Hayden Schlossberg, and Jon Hurwitz devised the American action dramedy series Obliterated.
The two major performers in the show are Hennig and Nick Zano, who play Ava Winters, a CIA officer and team commander, and Chad McKnight, a senior chief Petty officer in the Navy SEAL, respectively. Netflix began streaming it on November 30, 2023.
The main plot of Obliterated centers around the establishment of an elite joint-special operations team composed of personnel from various U.S. Armed Forces branches and intelligence agencies, with the goal of stopping a deadly terrorist network from blowing up Las Vegas. They use drugs and alcohol to celebrate their victory after finishing the project.
To rescue the day, the group must get over their inebriation and find the real nuclear bomb after discovering that the one they destroyed was a fake.
