Okay, so, I’ve been digging into Hayden Christensen’s love life, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I started this whole thing because, well, I’m a huge Star Wars fan, and Anakin Skywalker, am I right? So, I got curious about the guy behind the character.

First, I went down the rabbit hole of figuring out if he’s currently with anyone. Turns out, as of right now, October 14, 2024, the guy’s single. He’s 43 and not dating anyone, from what all the gossip sites say. It surprised me a bit, but he is a great man! Then I got into his past relationships, and that’s where it got interesting.
His most significant relationship, from what I gathered, was with Rachel Bilson. I knew her from The O.C.! They were together for like, a decade. Ten years! They met on the set of that movie Jumper back in 2008, and things got serious. They even had a daughter together in 2014.
- Met Rachel Bilson: 2007, on the set of Jumper.
- Started dating: Sometime in 2008, it was kind of messy, according to some articles.
- Had a daughter: October 29, 2014.
- Broke up: 2017, after about ten years together.
Then came the messy part. They split up in 2017. But, and this is the mature part, they seem to be handling the whole co-parenting thing really well. I read a bunch of interviews, and they both seem to be focused on raising their daughter. That’s important, you know?
I also stumbled upon some stuff about him and Natalie Portman. They were in the Star Wars prequels together, remember? Apparently, their relationship was pretty professional. They weren’t like, best friends, but they respected each other. I saw an interview where Natalie said Hayden brought a lot to the role of Anakin. So, it seems like they got along just fine on set.
What I learned
Hayden is a lowkey guy, and he wants to raise his daughter with his ex-girlfriend. That’s great! This research gives me a great impression of him.

This whole deep dive into Hayden Christensen’s relationships taught me a few things. One, even after a long relationship ends, people can still be mature and figure things out, especially when there’s a kid involved. And two, even though he is a famous star, he has a private life, and not all actors are super close, even if they work together on huge movies like Star Wars. But they also don’t have to hate each other either.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into the relationship history of Hayden Christensen. It was a fun little project! Hope you guys found it as interesting as I did.
