A deep dive into Anna Kendrick’s entire dating history

As star and director of Woman of the HourAnna Kendrick tells the true story of one Dating game contestant who unknowingly chooses a bachelor with a very twisted history. It’s a thrillingly dark portrayal of dating and its evolution over time, and it’s exactly the kind of in-depth exploration you won’t see Kendrick make about her own dating life.

Over the years, Kendrick has remained tight-lipped about her romances, mostly just offering tidbits here and there. “Well, it’s not easy to keep it private, as you’re proving now,” she said The Sydney Morning Herald in 2020. “But that’s how it’s always been for me.”

Kendrick has been linked to a number of Hollywood stars, from Bill Hader to English filmmaker Edgar Wright. And while she will never name names, she has also been open in the past about having a toxic ex.

While visiting the Armchair expert podcast in 2023, Kendrick said she knew what it was like to date an abusive partner. “This was someone I lived with,” Kendrick told the hosts, saying her ex seemed to change in an instant. ‘I remember saying to my brother when things first went wrong, ‘I’m living with a stranger. I don’t know what’s happening. ”

But despite a complicated history, Kendrick has remained friends with many of her exes, and she currently appears to be single. She recently talked about whether she ever wants children The Guardian: “I thought, ‘I could fall asleep easier with the weight of a cat on me. But I’m not responsible enough to own a cat. Someone should really make a robot cat that does all the purring and kneading.” And then I thought, wait, I’m not even ready for the “cat lady” part! Why would anyone trust me with one child?” Looks like that takes care of that.

Ahead, take a deep dive into Anna Kendrick’s complete dating history.


Bill Hader (2020-2022)

Like Kendrick, Hader likes to keep the details of his relationships private, and news of their coupling arrived over a year after they dated — at least according to a report from People.

In January 2022, the outlet shared, “Anna has been quietly dating Bill for over a year. They met years ago. She is hosted Saturday evening live and they made a movie together, but they got together long after the movie. (The movie in question was the Disney holiday movie Noellewhich came out in 2019.)

After playing on-screen siblings Noelle and Nick Kringle, the two connected on another level, and the COVID-19 pandemic apparently helped them keep things under wraps. “They are both very private people, and with the pandemic it was easy to keep it quiet,” the source added. “They’re both hysterical, so they have to keep each other laughing all the time.”

After going strong for years, it was reported in June 2022 that the two had called it quits.

Ben Richardson (2014-2019)

Kendrick first met Richardson on the set of Drinking friendswhich they filmed together in the summer of 2012, but it is believed they didn’t start dating until 2014.

The following year, the couple was spotted together in New York City’s SoHo, where Kendrick appeared to be wearing an engagement ring.

As noted by the Daily mail Kendrick had worn the same ring on a different finger at the time during a Hawaiian vacation with Richardson the month before. This either suggested that Richardson had proposed and they had to wait until the ring was made bigger, or that Kendrick was just trying something out.

It appears the latter was the case, considering Kendrick shut down the engagement rumors in an interview with Marie Claire the following month. “No, it’s not even a diamond ring!” She told the outlet with a laugh. “(It’s) costume jewelry!”

Although it is unclear when they stopped dating, Entertainment tonight reported that Kendrick and Richardson were last spotted together in 2019.

Jake Gyllenhaal (2013)

Although a relationship between Kendrick and Gyllenhaal was never confirmed, the pair’s relationship was rumored after they played an on-screen couple for the police thriller. End of watch (2012).

The two seemed to have undeniable chemistry, as Mario Lopez noted in an interview with Kendrick in September 2012. “He’s a great kisser. He is a true gentleman,” she said when asked about their on-screen hugs. She also added that Gyllenhaal was completely shaved for the role, but grew out some more hair for his most recent project. “I like a bit of a scruffy Jake,” she added.

In 2014, Kendrick expressed her frustration when Gyllenhaal dropped out of the live-action remake of In the forest. “I was so mad at Jake, let me tell you,” Kendrick said in an interview with The everyday beast. “I texted him and said, ‘You let me down, and I will never forgive you!’ And then I saw the trailer for Nightcrawler and texted him again saying, “Wow, you inspire me every day.”

Edgar Wright (2009-2013)

Kendrick and Wright first met on the set of Scott Pilgrim vs. the Worldin which Kendrick played the titular character’s sister, while Wright served as director and producer. Before working together, Kendrick was already a fan of the director, she revealed in an Vanity fair video interview in 2023.

“I’ll be honest: When I first read this script, I thought, ‘I don’t quite understand this. But I love Shaun of the DeadI love Hot down.’ And I just wanted to work with Edgar Wright,” she shared. “But I remember him saying on paper, ‘I don’t know how this is going to work, but I’m just going to trust that he sees it,’ which he did. It’s so great.”

Although it is unclear when exactly their relationship began, We weekly reports that it was shortly after meeting on set. The two loyal Hollywood stars stayed together for the next four years and amicably split in 2013.

Since then, things seem to have remained genial between them, at least based on some of their public social media interactions. Kendrick also confirmed their continued friendship on an episode of Armchair expert in 2023.
