Josh Hutcherson and his girlfriend Claudia Trysak have been in a private relationship for 10 years, after meeting on the set of Escobar in 2013. Spanish actress Trysac has had a successful career in film, television, and theater. She continues to work in Spain and has previously spoken out about the need for greater gender equality in the country’s entertainment industry.
Josh Hutcherson and Claudia Trysak have quietly forged a lasting relationship while balancing their acting careers. The Hunger Games star and the Spanish actress first met on the set of Escobar: Paradise Lost more than a decade ago. Although their love has mostly stayed away from the spotlight, their relationship has stood the test of time. The pair have only appeared together in public a few times, in 2015 when they went out to promote the film at red carpet events in Los Angeles, Rome, and Switzerland.
Read everything you need to know about Trysac below, from his early career in Madrid to his long-distance relationship with Hutcherson.
She is a Spanish actress and stage actor.
Trysac is from Leganes, a city near Madrid, Spain. According to her IMDb page, she began acting as a child actress and made her film debut in 2004 in “El Séptimo Día” before becoming a familiar face on Spanish television, appearing in series such as “Cuéntame Cómo Pasó” and “La Sonata del Silencio.”
In addition to his on-screen work, Trysak also has experience in stage productions. She appeared in the popular Madrid musical “Hui No Me Pued Levantal” and “La Llamada,” which was later made into a feature film by Spanish filmmakers Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi.
She and Hutcherson went public with their relationship nearly two years after rumors of their romance first spread.
In 2013, Us Weekly confirmed that Trysak and Hutcherson had been dating after meeting on the set of the biographical drama Escobar: Paradise Lost. The two played lovers, with Trysak starring opposite Hutcherson’s Nick as Pablo Escobar’s niece Maria, and their on-screen chemistry quickly translated off-screen as well.
By 2015, the two acknowledged their relationship and talked about maintaining their relationship long distance, as Hutcherson remained in the United States and Trysac continued to live in Spain.
“It’s pretty good. The distance is difficult, but we’ll make it work,” Hutcherson told E! News at the time. Trysak added, “I’m really happy. It’s really great.”
They have kept their relationship mostly private.
Hutcherson and Trysak have been spotted together occasionally, including kissing in Los Angeles and attending red carpet events during Escobar’s press tour, but the two tend to keep their romance private. They do not post about each other on social media and do not discuss details about their personal life in interviews.
In 2015, Hutcherson opened up a bit about the challenges of a long-distance relationship. “There’s a lot of traveling, there’s a lot of Skype,” he told Dujour magazine, according to Yahoo Entertainment. “I feel like I’m with you because I’m seeing you and talking to you, but you’re also just on a screen. It’s very frustrating.”
Trisac made a wonderful difference in Hutcherson’s life.
In an August 2025 interview with People magazine, Hutcherson revealed that she changed the name of her rescue dog from “Smudge” to “Munch” because Trysak, a native Spanish speaker, said the original name was difficult to pronounce. “We’re kind of stuck,” said the actor, who partnered with Hill’s Pet Nutrition to support the Clear Shelters 2025 campaign.
Trysac maintains a presence with Spanish-language productions and looks forward to further advancements in the industry.
Trysak and Hutcherson split their time between the United States and Spain, and the actress continues to appear in Spanish productions. Most recently, she appeared in the film Despues de la Derota, directed by her mother Rosa Blas Trysac, and in Alfonso Cortés-Cabanillas’ film El Molino, which was screened at the 2024 Malaga Film Festival in Spain.
Trisac opened up about the growing presence of women in the country’s entertainment industry in the Spanish edition of Vanity Fair last year. She said there are “more women on technical teams” and “more female creators,” which is fostering “a stronger support network,” according to an English translation of the article.
He added: “It’s important that we’re making progress, but there’s still a lot of work to be done and not every shoot or project achieves this. There are many actresses who feel very protected, but there are also many who don’t. It’s still a work in progress and we haven’t reached any milestones yet.”
Trysac said she hopes movements like #MeToo will emerge in Spain’s entertainment industry so women can feel safe speaking out when they are abused on set. He said a “fundamental change, not just rhetoric, is critical for more people to share what happened to them and for power structures to understand that things need to change and we need a clean slate.”
