In 2016, Jamie Linden invited Rachel McAdams to join him at his friend's wedding. The rest is history. As "The Notebook" star told The Times, "I just wanted to be with someone creative." She found that in Linden, a Florida man with a passion for storytelling. During hour four of a COVID-19 Stream-a-thon in 2020, the actor also spoke about their time quarantining with their son, who was just two at the time the pandemic hit. "We live sort of out in the country so there's a little farm down the road. We can go and look at the animals," she explained, adding that they had started a small garden. Pretty picturesque if you ask us. Later that year, she was spotted pregnant with the couple's second child.
Outside of films like "Dear John" and "Year 10," Rachel McAdams' long-time boyfriend also wrote the screenplays for the 2006 movie "We Are Marshall" and the 2016 film "Money Monster." After graduating from Florida State University, Linden went on a life-changing trip to California with a few friends, ultimately landing a guest spot on "The Price is Right." "I won $5,000 and a Tuscan wine server cart," he shared in a 2016 FSU workshop. After his incredible bout of good luck, he stayed in California, working on-set jobs and writing in his free time. His advice to students? "What you want to do, finds you." Simple as that.
