Who could forget the countless photos of these two out and about, getting their steps in during lockdown? After their first meeting in 2019 on the set of their 2022 film Deep Water, sparks flew between the duo. Before long, they were vacationing together in Cuba, cozying up during quarantine and showing off their love to the world. However, by January 2021, the couple went their separate ways. And while the world loved seeing what each new outing would bring, for the actress, the experience of being under constant media scrutiny during this era of her life was what she described to ELLE in 2022 as “horrible.”
