Williams and Kelly first sparked romance rumors in January 2017 when they were spotted at a video game shoot in Paris. People confirmed their relationship that July, three months after the "Grey's Anatomy" star announced his split from his wife of five years, Aryn Drake-Lee.
Despite the timing, Williams addressed reports of infidelity on his part. In an 11-minute Tidal video, Footnotes For 4:44, for JAY-Z's album, he said, "I was in a relationship 13 years — 13 real years, not five years, not seven years, 13 years. And all of a sudden motherf*ckers are writing think-pieces that I somehow threw a 13-year relationship. Like, the most painful experience I've had in my life — like with a person I've loved with all of my heart — that I threw a person and my family in the trash because a girl I work with is cute."
In January 2018, Williams and Kelly eventually called it quits.
