Emma began seeing the Friday Night Lights star shortly after her split from longtime love Evan Peters. The former couple, who met on the set of the movie Adult World, started dating in 2012, got engaged in 2013 and took months-long breaks in their relationship in 2015 and 2016 before calling it quits for good in 2019.

“I think that no matter who you are or what you do or wherever in the world you are, anything ending is hard,” the We’re the Millers star said of her failed engagement to Peters, 33, during a May 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan. “Losing something is hard. And the only thing I can say for that is … I’m realizing that life is highs and lows. I’m trying to ride them out and live somewhere in the middle.”

Hedlund, for his part, previously dated Kirsten Dunst from 2011 to 2016.
