by

Throughout Hollywood’s history, relationships between white actors and Black women have been common, with many couples choosing to share their lives publicly through dating and marriage. This compilation details well-known examples from various times and places, focusing on confirmed timelines, public events, and shared work projects. The information presented is based on verifiable facts – like when relationships began, engagements, or marriages – and relies on widely available public records, avoiding rumors or guesswork.

Robert De Niro

Robert De Niro has been married twice and has had significant long-term relationships throughout his life. He and actress Diahnne Abbott were married from 1976 to 1988 and had two children together. He then had a lengthy relationship with model and actress Toukie Smith in the late 80s and early 90s. In 1997, he married Grace Hightower, and they separated in 2018. De Niro is widely considered one of America’s greatest actors, with iconic films like ‘Raging Bull’ and ‘The Irishman’ showcasing his talent across decades.

Bradley Cooper

Let’s talk about Bradley Cooper’s dating history for a moment. Before he was directing and starring in hits like ‘A Star Is Born’ and ‘American Sniper,’ he and Zoe Saldana were an item. I remember the buzz back in 2011 when they started seeing each other after filming ‘The Words.’ It wasn’t a constantly public relationship – more on-again, off-again for about two years, ending around 2013. They definitely made a splash at a few industry events and awards shows during that time. Of course, both have gone on to huge things – Zoe really cemented her place in those big franchise films, and Bradley… well, he’s become a major force behind and in front of the camera.

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson and musician/actress FKA twigs started dating in 2014 and became engaged the following year, as reported by several entertainment news sources. Though their relationship lasted for a few years, they eventually broke up. Since then, Pattinson has continued to star in major films like ‘The Batman,’ and FKA twigs has found success in both music and film.

Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf and FKA twigs began dating in 2018 after connecting while filming ‘Honey Boy’. They were seen together in public during their relationship. In 2020, Twigs filed a lawsuit that received a lot of attention from the media and sparked public conversation. Both LaBeouf and Twigs have continued to pursue their careers in film and music.

Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton first became romantically linked while working together in a stage play. They later made their first public appearance as a couple at the 2022 BAFTAs. The pair got engaged in 2022 and eventually welcomed a baby. Zawe Ashton then joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while Tom Hiddleston continued to play Loki. Despite being in the public eye, they’ve generally kept their private life out of the spotlight, only occasionally appearing on red carpets.

Joshua Jackson

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner Smith got married in 2019, following rumors of a relationship earlier that year. They had a daughter in 2020 and were frequently seen together at film festivals and fashion shows. Throughout their marriage, both continued to work on various film and television projects. In 2023, public records showed they were in the process of separating.

Channing Tatum

Okay, so it looks like Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz are officially a couple! I first noticed the buzz when pictures surfaced of them together in New York, and then they made a splash at the Met Gala – definitely seemed like they were an item. Reports came out last year saying they got engaged, which is fantastic news. Both are still super busy with their careers – Tatum’s still acting and producing, and Kravitz is juggling directing and acting too. It’s great to see them supporting each other and thriving professionally.

Chris Pine

I remember when Chris Pine and Zoe Kravitz were dating back in the mid-2010s! They were a pretty stylish couple, always popping up at fashion week and after-parties. It wasn’t a super public relationship, and it ended before either of them got into their more recent, well-known partnerships. Chris, of course, kept landing those big roles – more ‘Star Trek’ movies, ‘Wonder Woman,’ all that good stuff.

Tom Holland

Tom Holland and Zendaya first sparked dating rumors while promoting their ‘Spider-Man’ movies, and they later confirmed their relationship with public appearances and on social media. They’ve been seen together at events like movie premieres and sporting games. Both actors continue to star in popular films and TV shows. Their relationship gained a lot of attention because of their on-screen chemistry and the large number of fans they have around the world.

Jacob Elordi

Jacob Elordi and Zendaya began dating in 2019 after meeting on the set of ‘Euphoria.’ They were seen together on several occasions throughout 2019 and 2020, but eventually ended their relationship before finding new partners. Since then, both actors have continued to build successful careers, with Elordi taking on prominent film roles and Zendaya starring in major projects that have increased her popularity.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt and British singer Sinitta were a couple in the late 1980s, when Pitt was just starting out as an actor. Both have shared memories of their time together in interviews over the years. Pitt went on to become a major film star, known for movies like ‘Fight Club’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’.

Matthew Lawrence

Matthew Lawrence and Chilli from TLC started dating in 2022 and went public with their relationship in early 2023, sharing glimpses on social media and appearing together at events. Lawrence is an actor known for his role in ‘Boy Meets World’ and several films from the 90s and 2000s, while Chilli continues to perform and make music with TLC.

Zac Efron

Zac Efron and model/designer Sami Miro began dating in 2014 and were often seen together at events like movie premieres and sporting games. They eventually broke up in 2016. Throughout their relationship, Efron worked on a variety of film and television projects, including both comedic and dramatic roles. Simultaneously, Miro focused on building her career in fashion through new designs and partnerships.

Evan Peters

Evan Peters and singer Halsey were a couple from 2019 to 2020. They were seen together at events and shared their relationship online. They split up in 2020, both remaining busy with their careers. Peters has since received a lot of praise for his work in TV shows and limited series.
