Profession: ActorHow did they meet: At a theatre production

Before her burst of Hollywood stardom, Anne Hathway was first romantically linked to That ’70s Show actor Topher Grace. They allegedly started dating in 1999 and made their debut as a couple at the Teen Choice Awards that same year. The two never confirmed their relationship but likely split up in 2001 as Hathaway’s career took off with The Princess Diaries, which came out the same year.

The two actors remained amicable post-breakup and reunited in 2010 on the set of Valentine’s Day, starring opposite each other. During the movie’s press tour back in the day, the duo was asked how they portrayed their characters’ on-screen relationship with such authenticity, to which Grace famously answered to ScreenSlam, “We had a lot of comfort with each other,” alluding to their dating history.

Profession: RestaurateurHow did they meet: Not known

Following the widespread success of The Princess Diaries, Hathaway got into romantic entanglements with prominent men, one of them being famous New York City-based restauranteur Scott Sartiano.

The duo was first spotted in public in 2002 and then on several occasions throughout the year. They were also photographed together at the Road to Perdition premiere that same year.

They kept their relationship in the public eye but never divulged the details about how they met. Eventually, the actor-restauranteur love affair dialled down and the two went their separate ways, with neither party commenting publically on the relationship.

In 2002 Hathaway was also rumoured to be dating mysterious actor James Holzier for a brief period. The details of their connection remain unclear, as neither of them ever addressed their alleged romance. Holzer was later romantically linked to Scarlett Johansson, but that relationship also remained unconfirmed.

It is to be noted that Holzier himself is an enigma and most of his films listed on IMDb are still in pre-production and never saw the light of the day.

Another dude who joined the list of Anne Hathaway’s boyfriends in 2002 was actor Hugh Dancy. The two met on the set of Ella Enchanted (2004) and instantly hit it off. The co-stars’ on-screen chemistry soon spilled over to real life and they dated for two years. In a 2004 interview with Black Film, Hathaway confessed that the two shared a romantic spark from the beginning, saying “We had [chemistry] from the first time we met, his audition.”

In the same interview, the Hollywood actress describes her excitement at working with Dancy and the process the two went through to work on capturing an engaging on-screen romance. According to Hathaway, the two spent a lot of time alone together watching old romantic films, Roman Holiday included, but she noted that “ultimately when we got to the set we just sort of looked into each other’s eyes and hoped that it would be there.”

The couple broke up in 2004 and have rarely been spotted together socially or otherwise since then.
