Cameron Diaz to Scarlett Johansson, Jared Leto's dating history explored

Jared Leto, 53, has been accused of inappropriate behavior and sexual impropriety. According to a new report by Air Mail, cited by The Guardian, several women accused him of “predatory, terrifying and unacceptable” behavior.

The actor is now the subject of widespread discussion due to these accusations. Apart from his movies and the recent allegations, he has often made headlines for his high-profile dating history.

From Scarlett Johansson to Kristi McDaniel to Valery Kaufman, he has dated multiple leading stars over the past years.

A look at Jared Leto's past romances

1. Soleil Moon Frye

In 1991, Jared and Soleil were seen together at the premiere of Cool as Ice, according to a Popsugar report. At the time, they were speculated to have dated briefly.

2. Kristi McDaniel

As Who's Dated Who? reported, the Requiem for a Dream actor was with Kristi McDaniel in the late ’90s. His two-year relationship with McDaniel, from 1997 to 1999, is one of his earliest public romances.

3. Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz was in a relationship with Jared Leto from 1999 to 2003, Us Weekly reported. They kept their romance extremely private and were rarely spotted together in public. The Telegraph termed their low-key romance “Hollywood’s most photogenic, but least photographed couple,” Hollywood Life confirmed.

Rumors stated that the duo might have gotten engaged after attending the 2003 Golden Globes.

4. Scarlett Johansson

Almost a week after his last breakup, Leto entered into a relationship with Johansson in 2004. The actors were seen together in Los Angeles and New York City.

The estranged couple was together for a short period but reunited almost a decade later in 2012. They were seen catching up at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

While they dated briefly, Jared Leto still seemed to have feelings for her years later. In 2014, an insider revealed to Popdust:

"Jared was really crazy about Scarlett and those feelings are still with him even up till today."

According to the source,

"He [Jared Leto] always wears the pants in every relationship….he’s always the one in control, but with Scarlett, even though she was barely 20-years old and he was 31, she was in the driver’s seat. Jared was the one waiting on her calls and text messages, and she was calling the shots."

Two years later, in 2016, Scarlett also reflected on her past relationship—though she kept her ex’s identity anonymous. While chatting with Cosmopolitan, she shared:

"Long, long ago, I had someone in my life who was forever unavailable ... but, like, so attractively unavailable. Rock bottom is the moment when you're like, 'I've lost myself. Why am I standing outside this bar at 1:30 in the morning texting while my friends are inside? Or taking a taxi to see him at some ungodly hour? This isn't me.' That is the moment you've gotta cut it off. Otherwise, it will keep coming back, suck your blood."

5. Ashley Olsen

Speculation around Jared Leto and Ashley Olsen popped up multiple times in the 2000s. In 2005, the rumored pair were seen on a date, according to Us Weekly.

Later, in 2008, fans saw them showing PDA at the Art of Elysium Gala in Los Angeles, The Huffington Post reported. Someone who saw them making out disclosed to Us Weekly that the duo “looked like a couple.”

The duo sparked headlines again in 2011. According to the New York Daily News, Leto and Olsen had a “very flirtatious meal” in Beverly Hills.

6. Lindsay Lohan

Jared Leto was romantically linked to Lindsay Lohan. They were rumored to be together while shooting for Chapter 27.

7. Paris Hilton

Jared and Paris supposedly dated in 2008. They made headlines for their alleged romance after someone clicked them kissing at a party at the Sundance Film Festival.

The duo was “not dating seriously,” an insider shared with Page Six. The source added:

"She likes him and she thinks he is really s**y and fun."

8. Lydia Hearst

Guest Of A Guest reported that Jared Leto and Lydia Hearst started seeing each other in 2008. Rumors sparked after they were spotted exploring New York City, “spending some personal time together.”

Another of Leto’s rumored romantic connections involved Lupita Nyong’o. Rumors began circulating after he mentioned her during his Independent Spirit Awards acceptance speech in 2014.

At the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards, they were seen flirting at the event’s after-party, Us Weekly reported.

In June last year, Nyong’o reflected on the rumors during a Glamour cover interview. According to Entertainment Weekly, she dismissed the claims, stating she was just friends with Leto.

She said:

"It was drawing attention away from the work. I didn’t want that sort of attention. I didn’t want all that chatter to deter from the joy I was having becoming his friend."

Over the years, Jared Leto has also been linked to several celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Halsey, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Emilia Clarke, and Alexa Chung, Who’s Dated Who confirmed.

Most of his alleged connections and romantic affairs, however, remained just claims and chatter.
