Ben Foster, a 41-year-old SAG Award-winning actor, producer, and director, met the 55-year-old Golden Globe-winning actress, producer, and director Robin Wright in a unique way.
Their paths had crossed years before, but it was during the filming of their 2011 movie Rampart that sparks ignited.
Despite not sharing scenes, Foster’s presence as a producer on set led to a connection with Wright.
Breaking her streak of never being asked out on a date, Wright shared that Foster took her to a poetry recital for their first date.

By early 2014, Wright’s engagement to Foster was confirmed by her representative.
Their love story continued to unfold, with Wright praising Foster at the Golden Globes where she won an award for her role in House of Cards.
The couple also sealed their commitment with matching tattoos, a departure from tradition for Wright.

As their paths diverged, Foster moved on and got engaged to actor Laura Prepon in 2016.
They now share two children and a life together.
