Julia Roberts’ romantic résumé
Sutherland and Roberts played love interests in the medical student thriller “Flatliners.” The film was poorly received, but the relationship between the two heated up and Sutherland reportedly left his wife and children to move in with her. Roberts and Sutherland became engaged in August 1990 and set a June 14, 1991, wedding date. However, days before the wedding, Roberts left Sutherland and escaped to Ireland with Sutherland’s friend Jason Patric. (Chris Pizzello / AP; Dan Steinberg / AP)
On the day of her planned nuptials to
Best known for his roles in “Dead Poets Society” and the recent “Reality Bites,” Ethan Hawke became a tabloid hot topic when he was seen dancing closely with Julia Roberts even though she was still married to Lyle Lovett. Roberts and Lovett announced their plans to divorce soon after and her “relationship” with Hawke was brief at best. (Lawrence Lucier / Getty Images)
Aside from their similar day jobs, Roberts and Daniel Day-Lewis still seem worlds apart. Compared to Roberts’ celebrity status, Day-Lewis has always been known to take very select yet powerful film roles, in movies such as “My Left Foot” and “There Will Be Blood.” The two quietly dated in 1994 and 1995.
