Jessica Chastain turns 38 today so we have a sneak peek into her love life since her rise to fame.
Jessica Chastain
Chastain is very tight lipped about her love life; ' I don't talk about my dating life. But I will say this: in this business it's very tough to maintain a relationship because we're like gypsies - always on the move. And the more you share your relationship with the world the less special it becomes. So I always try to keep my dating life quiet. I'm very private. We've never seen a picture of me with a beau. For me, it's about the work. I have no personal life! I have a rule not to date actors and because of that I can hopefully make work be the focus of public interest instead of my private life.' (IMDB)
What we do know is that Chastain was in a long term relationship with director Ned Benson, whom she met at a festival screening of Four Lean Hounds back in 2003. She asked him if she could work with him, which led to her starring in a short film The Westerner in 2010 and the Eleanor Rigby films which he wrote for her.
He also wrote elements of the script for The Tree of Life and he visited Chastain during filming in the hope of being inspired by Terrence Malick's directorial process.
Sadly, they broke up in 2010 after four years of being a couple.
Since 2012, she has been dating Count Gian Luca Passo di Preposulo, an Italian executive for the fashion brand Moncler.
Happy Birthday Jessica!
