Jackée Harry was romantically involved with Ray J, her costar from the 2012 movie Switchin' the Script. Jackée played the main character's mother, and Ray J played David, the main love interest.

Several years later, Ryan told the Times, "I had two of the greatest girlfriends of all time [Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams]. I haven't met anybody who could top them... Show business is the bad guy. When both people are in show business, it's too much show business. It takes all of the light, so nothing else can grow." Gregg DeGuire / WireImage / Via Getty 4. Gifted costars and onscreen love interests Chris Evans and Jenny Slate dated from mid-2016 to February 2017. Then, they reconciled in November, but four months later, it was over for good.

In 2017, Jenny told Vulture, "I remember him saying to me, 'You're going to be one of my closest friends.'
