Everyone Joshua Jackson Dated Before Marrying Jodie Turner-Smith

Jackson started dating the German model-turned-actor in 2006 after what they both recounted was a disastrous first date at an Italian restaurant, where they were sat next to flowers the "Inglorious Bastards" actor was allergic to. "She sniffled and sneezed the entire time," Jackson explained to Us Weekly in 2012. "And when I get nervous, you might have noticed I talk a lot. So I just chewed her ear off for an hour and a half… It was amazing. I'm surprised she ever called back."
In the same interview, Kruger revealed that the couple, who had been together for six years at the time, had no plans to get married. "Marriage is important for the people it's important for, but neither one of us is particularly religious, so I don't think there's any particular push," she explained. "But never say never! I don't know." (Kruger had previously been married to French director Guillaume Canet from 2001 to 2005.)
In a March 2016 interview with The Edit (via The Daily Mail), Kruger revealed that she had moved from Paris to NYC to be closer to Jackson, calling it a "major commitment." "That's a big step into adulthood for me, to allow that time for someone else out of my time," she said of the move.
However, the move spelled the end for the long-term couple. By July 2016, the pair had called it quits after a decade together, albeit amicably. "Diane Kruger and Josh Jackson have decided to separate and remain friends," a rep for the couple told People.
