Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson
Back during The O.C. days in 2003, Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson played each other’s on-screen love interests and this romance trickled down in real life too. The fact that Seth and Summer were dating IRL was an absolute delight for fans. The lovebirds even moved in together and also got an adorable pet pitbull terrier who they named Penny Lane.
Gushing over how happy she was at that time, Bilson told Teen People, “I feel like I have everything now — the dog, the house, the job, and him. I can’t ask for anything more.”
Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson dated for three years, however, they couldn’t make it to the end of The O.C. The duo broke up in 2006, after being together for almost four seasons of the show. For those of you who don’t know, by the time we saw Seth and Summer getting married on-screen, the pair had already called it quits. They have never spoken about the exact reason behind their split.
Adam Brody and Kirsten Dunst
Just when people were curious to see more of the newly single Seth Cohen, another link-up rumour gained traction. This time, Brody was linked to his Bring It On co-star Kirsten Dunst. According to rumours and gossip columns, Brody and Dunst’s alleged affair started after she broke up with Jake Gyllenhaal. Little is known about their time together.
Adam Brody and Teresa Palmer
Following his brief encounter with Kirsten Dunst, Adam Brody landed in the headlines again for another romance. The Nobody Wants This star and Teresa Palmer reportedly had a whirlwind romance after their Justice League movie was cancelled. Brody and Palmer met during the pre-production of The Justice League in 2008. While Brody was to star as Barry Allen aka The Flash, Teresa Palmer was to portray Talia al Ghul.
Unfortunately, the film got cancelled days before shooting was set to begin, however, that didn’t stop the duo from getting together and going for a holiday in Australia. Following her brief fling with Brody, Palmer was linked to another high-profile celebrity before finally settling down with her now-husband, Mark Webber.
