However, when asked about his current love, Suki Waterhouse, he demurred: "Do I have to [talk about her]?" he asked. "If you let people in, it devalues what love is. If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you'd think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall it ends up better. I can't understand how someone can walk down the street holding hands, and it's the same as when I do it and a hundred people are taking your photo. The line between when you're performing and when you're not will eventually get washed away and you'll go completely mad." The "Twilight" alum and the English model-actress were first linked in July 2018.
According to MailOnline, Moby dishes on his romances with Natalie Portman and Christina Ricci in his new book, "Then It Fell Apart." The DJ dated the Oscar-winning actress for "a few weeks" in 2001 — when he was 33 and she was 20 — after she went backstage to meet him at one of his shows. "I was a bald binge drinker and Natalie Portman was a beautiful movie star. But here she was in my dressing room, flirting with me," he wrote, adding that despite their age difference, the "Star Wars" actress had a firm grasp on the situation because "this was her world." Moby suffered from crippling anxiety during their relationship, he wrote: "For a few weeks I had tried to be Natalie's boyfriend, but it hadn't worked out. … I thought that I was going to have to tell her that my panic was too egregious for me to be in a real relationship, but one night on the phone she informed me that she'd met somebody else. I was relieved that I'd never have to tell her how damaged I was," he recalled. The "South Side" chart-topper also briefly romanced Christina in 2000 when she was just 20. Like Natalie, he met the "Casper" actress following a show. He then invited her back to his hotel room for drinks: "I put my glass down and kissed Christina. … I was with a smart, beautiful movie star and closing the book on the greatest 18 months of my life," he wrote.

"I, in general, am amazed and excited and blown away by my relationship with this wonderful man and his relationship with me and my family. We're starting that whole thing of putting it out into the greater world. Sometimes it makes me sweat a little bit. … It's still so new. … I'm just so grateful for my family and grateful for the love of my life." Continued the actress, "It's meant a lot to me to know … he's running for the highest public office in America, and he's still centering us in our relationship and prioritizing creating our foundation. … It's the idea that we can show up for anything that we really want to show up for. … And it means a lot to me that in the midst of all of that, he's always showing up for us." She went on to say that she expects to hit the campaign trail with her beau: "We're just long distance so we don't get to see each other very often, so we haven't done too much stuff outside publicly yet, but I imagine we'll start getting bored with each other just being us and wanting to come out and hang out with all of you," she said.
Sonja Morgan told Radar Online on April 26 that she thinks Bethenny Frankel's relationship with Paul Bernon is "great" — she then called them soulmates! Said the reality star of her pal and co-star, "She's gone through such a hard time and for her to have someone that she cares for and wants to hold his hand and share her life with her daughter with, all the power to it." Bethenny — who's still duking it out in court with her ex-husband, Jason Hoppy, over custody of their daughter Bryn — reconnected with Paul shortly after the death of her longtime friend and off-and-on love Dennis Shields. "Bethenny has had to deal with her ex's drama for way too long and it's time [to move on]. It's past time," said Sonja. "She is finally going to be done with [the legal battle with Jason] for the most part and meeting Paul after everything that has happened to her really is full circle. She loses her best friend [Dennis] and now she's met her soulmate! … She was very close with Dennis and he had a great relationship with her daughter. I was really worried about Bethenny going into a really dark place when he died." She concluded by saying that Paul also has a "great relationship" with Bethenny's little girl.
During an interview with Men's Journal that hit the Internet in late April, Chris Evans said that he hopes to settle down one day. "I really want kids. Yeah, I do.

The "Avengers" star also addressed the public fascination with his relationship with former off-and-on love Jenny Slate, acknowledging that people were likely interested in their romance because they're so seemingly mismatched — she's a quirky comedian and he's a "bro-ish" superhero actor. "I think she may have even [thought I was 'bro-ish'], at first. But then she was just like, 'Man, you're not like what I thought you were going to be,'" he said, adding that he "can speak fluent bro" but doesn't consider himself to be one.
During an April 26 chat with Us Weekly, Bachelor Nation's Robby Hayes dished on his short-lived romance with Scheana Shay. "It was really not, like, a ghosting thing," he said. "We're both stubborn — it's just in our genes — and one wasn't texting the other." Eventually, he apologized to the "Vanderpump Rules" star: "I finally was just like, 'I heard I owe you an apology.' Like, that's not right," he recalled. "That was evening the playing field. And just like that, we're back talking, friends again. She's my neighbor now." Robby added that Scheana is "a fantastic friend" but "not my type" because he'd rather date "someone less in the limelight." The duo were an item in mid-2018.
