This superstar has been with her cinematographer husband for over two decades, but their relationship hasn’t always been smooth. Early in their romance, the cinematographer’s ex-wife alleged that the movie star stole him and paid her off for a divorce.
This superstar is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood, and any man would be lucky to be with her. For some, they were fortunate to have been part of her romantic life, including Kiefer Sutherland, with whom she was briefly engaged, and her ex-husband, Lyle Lovett.
She was also linked to Liam Neeson, Dylan McDermott, Matthew Perry, and Jason Patric. However, none of these relationships worked, and in 2000, she found out why.

In 2000, the actress met her husband on the set of “The Mexican.” While she was working in front of the cameras, he was the man behind them.

At the time, the actress was in a relationship with Benjamin Bratt, while her husband was wed to makeup artist Vera Steimberg. In a previous interview, she mentioned that meeting her husband marked a significant turning point in her life, changing it in an indescribably wonderful way.
Although they did not begin to date right away, the pair sorted out their lives and eventually separated from their respective partners. The cinematographer filed for divorce from his wife six months after meeting the actress but found difficulty as Steimberg refused to let go.
The actress said that meeting the cinematographer was finding her person, someone who made her realize how good life could truly get. She expressed that it was all filled with “comfort and terror.” “Terror because the person I want to impress most is looking right at me.” she reiterated.
As for all the rumors about how she landed her husband, the actress simply said people made many assumptions about her dating life, so this situation was no different. She added that people didn’t know anything about their relationship.
