Hedlund was briefly linked to his "Country Strong" costar Leighton Meester in January 2011. After they presented together at the Golden Globes, the pair reportedly attended an afterparty where they were "making googly eyes at each other all night," "Today" reported at the time.
"They were hanging out by the bar laughing and talking very close for a long time," an eyewitness told "Today." "He had his hand on her back and she was just looking up at him, smiling ear-to-ear as he was leaning down and whispering something to her."
The source added that at one point, they kissed during the party. "As the night went on they didn't exactly hide their affection for each other," they said. "They were all over each other! They seemed really happy."
Things must have fizzled, however, because there were no further reports of the romance.
