The Truth About Laura Dern's Dating History

When Dern first got together with Harper in 2000, she was said to be still reeling from the end of her relationship with Billy Bob-Thornton, who, while Dern was away filming a movie, married actress Angelina Jolie (via People, InStyle).

"It's like a sudden death. For no one has there been any closure or clarity," Dern told Talk magazine in 2000.

Prior to dating Thornton, Dern was involved with "Jurassic Park" co-star Jeff Goldblum (via Refinery29). Dern has also dated fellow David Lynch favorite Kyle MacLachlan from 1985 to 1989 after co-starring together in "Blue Velvet" (via Insider). Dern has also been linked to Nicolas Cage and Common.

More recently, Dern set the internet on fire in 2017 when she was seen kissing NBA player Baron Davis — all while he held her purse for her (via Us Weekly). While it's not clear how or when things cooled off between the two, one thing is for certain — based on this number from the 2020 Independent Spirit Awards, Dern doesn't have to look far for men to worship her, even if these ones happen to be gay.
