Ezra Fitz (formerly known as Ezra Fitzgerald) is an English teacher at Rosewood High School, who is in a relationship with Aria Montgomery. He is portrayed by Ian Harding.Ezra Fitz, born as Ezra Fitzgerald, comes from an extremely wealthy family from which he is almost entirely estranged, having both rejected his existing and future inheritance, and changed his last name from Fitzgerald to Fitz. In the summer after high school graduation, he had a girlfriend named Maggie who got pregnant, but his mother paid Maggie to leave town and have an abortion. She had the baby which Ezra believed was his son,Malcolm and Ezra didn't find out about it until the child was 7 years old. Due to a DNA test Ezra finds out that Malcolm is not his child, and that Maggie lied to him about his paternity because she had remorse over the situation that resulted in his birth.Biography

He used to be engaged to Jackie Molina, but she broke off the engagement. Ezra is in love with one of his former students, Aria Montgomery, but she broke up with him in the Season 3 finale. He is well liked by his fellow faculty members and by his students. He resigned from Rosewood High and was teaching at Hollis, until Byron Montgomery got him fired. He recently became a substitute teacher at Rosewood High School, then became a full-time teacher again. Aria regretfully ended their relationship because it was becoming too complicated.

In season 4, Aria and Ezra get back together while Aria was still dating Jake. Aria tells Ezra he's "the one" and always has been and breaks up with Jake. She's not ready to tell her friends yet, so they keep it a secret, only for the girls to spy them together at the end of Shadow Play.

It was revealed in "Free Fall" that he had a brief relationship with Alison DiLaurentis and has been tracking her and The Liars in order to write a "true crime novel" and figure out who 'A' is.

In A is for Answers, Ezra gets shot in New York by 'A', who he later reveals to be Shana.
