Kevin Spacey’s relationship history was sparse at best even before his scandal hit. Still, nowadays, he cuts an even more solitary figure, stuck in Hollywood purgatory as he gears up for his court battle on June 28. Spacey often flew solo at movie premieres and parties, aside from his ubiquitous PR team lurking in the background. However, the actor reportedly had at least a couple of relationships during his career.
It was never publicly confirmed, per The Sun, but Spacey was romantically linked to Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ashleigh Banfield. His longest-known relationship was with scriptwriter Dianne Dreyer, who he’s believed to have dated for eight years before splitting in 2000. Prior to Dreyer, Spacey was linked to the actor April Winchell for a year in the 1970s. Spacey namechecked Dreyer during his “American Beauty” Oscars speech. “Diane, thank you for teaching me about caring about the right things,” he gushed. “And I love you.”

Spacey admitted that he loved playing Lester in the movie — a middle-aged ad man who becomes sexually obsessed with his teen child’s best friend — “because we got to see all of his worst qualities, and we still grew to love him,” he said. “This movie, to me, is all about how any single act, from any single person, put out of context is damnable.” Well, unfortunately for Spacey, he’s facing a lot more than just any single allegation.
