Everyone Norman Reedus Dated Before Fiancée Diane Kruger

Reedus first met Christensen through their mutual friend, photographer Yelena Yemchuk, and the two began dating in 1998. A year later, they welcomed their son, Mingus Lucien Reedus, but they ended up calling it quits in 2003. While the reason for their split is still unclear, Reedus and Christensen remain friends. "She's a really cool girl," Reedus told the New York Post in February 2014. "She's really smart and we laugh at the same crap."

Reedus first met Diane on the set of their 2015 movie "Sky," and they quickly sparked dating rumors. Kruger was still in a relationship with actor Joshua Jackson, but they eventually announced their split in July 2016. Kruger and Reedus seemingly confirmed their relationship eight months later with a steamy makeout session in NYC, and the pair have been going strong ever since. They welcomed a daughter, Nova, in 2018. The couple became engaged in 2021.

Reedus revealed Nova's reaction to their engagement during a 2022 appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "I had the ring for quite a long time in my pocket, just, like, burning a hole in my pocket," he told Kimmel, per "Entertainment Tonight." He was going do it on a motorcycle trip the couple took, but couldn't find the right spot. So he pivoted to proposing at home.

"I felt bad that I didn't do it and Nova, our daughter, was sitting on my lap, and I was like, 'Can you go get my boot? It's in the closet.' She's like, 'Why?' I'm like, 'I just want to look at the boot.' 'Cause I had it shoved in the boot," he explained. "And then I proposed and she started crying, and then Nova started crying — everybody's crying. It was like water works city. And then Nova goes, 'Why are we crying?' Diane's going, 'It's happy tears!' And she's like, 'Yes! it's happy tears!'"
