Even though Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen dated for many years, the two never got married, and in actuality, they split up more than once during their decade-long relationship. The two were engaged to be married in December 2008, but they called the nuptials off in August 2010, citing distance as the main reason for the change of plans (via People).
Although the end of their engagement effectively ended their relationship for a time, this split was relatively short-lived as People reported that the two were dating again by November of that same year. Four years later, Bilson, then a star of the CW’s “Hart of Dixie,” gave birth to her and Christensen’s daughter, whom they named Briar Rose Christensen. For a time, it seemed like the new family of three was getting along well.

Sadly, the couple’s final split was confirmed by E! News in 2017. The outlet noted that Bilson was living full-time in Los Angeles while Christensen was living in Toronto, Canada. “Yes, they are officially done within the last few weeks,” a longtime friend of Bilson’s told E! News. “It was a gradual buildup of issues and problems. They were in agreement it was time to move on as a couple.”
While their first breakup was about distance, their final breakup had to do with “different lifestyles and interests.” The source noted that Bilson was “very social,” while Christenen preferred to remain “reclusive and off the grid.” Of course, this information aligns well with what we’ve heard about why Christensen stepped away from the spotlight after the “Stars Wars” prequels.
