Kate Beckinsale is a celebrity most people know, but she tends to stay out of the spotlight. She is an English actress and model, who has starred in movies such as Click, Pearl Harbor, Much Ado About Nothing, and more.

While she is an esteemed actress, one thing about her that also makes headlines are her relationships. Beckinsale has dated a number of men in the past that had people talking. She has even been married and has a child with them.

However, she has made headlines while promoting her movie, Jolt. While appearing on Extra, Beckinsale was asked about the worst first date she had ever had, and she replied with, "Do you know I've never really been on a date?"

Here are all the men Kate Beckinsale has dated, in chronological order.

Updated May 2024: Kate Beckinsale made her first red carpet appearance on May 2, 2024, after suffering an undisclosed health scare. At the time of her appearance, Beckinsale played coy about what happened to her, as well as why she deleted all the photos she posted to Instagram while in the hospital. After this appearance, however, Beckinsale was criticized for her appearance. As such, several days later, Beckinsale posted pictures of herself dressed as an old man for those who said that she had a problem with aging.

9 Michael Sheen

Dated: 1995 to 2003

Early on in her career, in 1995, Beckinsale dated actor Michael Sheen. They met when cast in the touring production of The Seagull and began living together shortly afterwards.

Although the two never got married, they did welcome a daughter, Lily in 1999.

They sadly split in 2003, due to Sheen's work visa expiring, but have remained amicably while raising their daughter.

Despite being in other relationships (Sheen has dated Sarah Silverman and Anna Lundberg), they still get together from time to time. They come together for their daughter and document their hilarious family get-togethers.

Who Is Kate Beckinsale And Michael Sheen's Daughter?

Being a daughter of two famous people can be hard at times, but Lily Sheen has managed it. She is the only child of Beckinsale and Sheen.

Sheen lives in New York and is also currently pursuing acting. Beckinsale stated in an interview that Lily did her first movie in 2020, where she played Nicolas Cage's daughter.

Lily has also had minor roles in some of her mom's movies including Underworld: Evolution, Click and Everybody's Fine.

8 Len Wiseman

Married: 2004 to 2016

After her split from Sheen, Kate Beckinsale met director Len Wiseman on the set of The Underworld. The couple married in 2004. But sadly, Wiseman and Beckinsale officially divorced in 2016. Wiseman filed for divorce after they had some irreconcilable differences.

However, before they went public with their split, the couple was separated for a bit.

"They tried to make it work, but they end up falling back into old habits and fighting," a source told Us Weekly in November 2015, after news of their split. The couple has busy schedules and drifted apart, but Wiseman was also seen out with a model a few times just a couple of months before their divorce was finalized.

7 Matt Rife

Dated: 2017 to 2018

After going through a divorce with Wiseman, Beckinsale dated Matt Rife. Rife is an American comedian, actor, and writer who is best known for his stand-up at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.

For two seasons, Rife was a recurring cast member on the MTV improv comedy show, Wild 'N Out and is a former TLC host. The couple dated for nearly a year, starting in 2017. He talked about moving in together after only a few weeks, but her first priority is her family. The couple was on-again, off-again.

Seen Together After Break-Up

In September 2018, after the couple had been broken up, Kate Beckinsale stepped out with Matt Rife to attend Dave Chapelle's show in Los Angeles. Fans were confused and didn't know if the actress was still dating Rife. Beckinsale was linked arm in arm with Chapelle, while Rife walked in step behind them. Maybe they just shared a love for comedy or had this planned before they broke-up, but Beckinsale seems to be on good terms with most of her exes.

6 Jack Whitehall

Dated: November 2018

After her fling with Rife, Beckinsale dated comedian and actor Jack Whitehall in November 2018. They were spotted making out at a Los Angeles karaoke bar where they were getting cozy in a booth. They reportedly went on a dinner date before meeting up with friends at the bar. They had left separately, but arrived at the same L.A. hotel together. It doesn't appear that they were together for that long, but it is still worth noting that the two had a little fling.

5 Pete Davidson

Dated: January 2019 to April 2019

Perhaps the most notable and oddest relationship Kate Beckinsale has had is with comedian and Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson.

They had a flirtatious outing in January 2019, nearly two months after she was seen with Whitehall. Beckinsale and Davidson began a whirlwind romance and didn't hold back on showing the PDA.

They were spotted holding hands many times and exchanged some passionate kisses at a New York Rangers Game in March 2019.

Sadly, they split up in April 2019, but that wasn't so surprising to fans given the number of high-profile relationships he's been in.

4 Goody Grace

Dated: January 2020 to October 2020

Kate Beckinsale dated singer-songwriter Goody Grace in January 2020. The actress left some flirty comments on Grace's Instagram in March, and they stepped out holding hands in Brentwood, CA a month later.

The pair is 23 years apart in age, which sparked debates among fans, seeing as how the singer was the same age as her daughter.

A source confirmed to Us Weekly that the couple split in October 2020. No reason as to why was given.

3 Matt Atwater

Dated: April 2023 to Unknown

Beckinsale was linked to Matt Atwater in 2023. While they were spotted out together a few times looking more than just friendly with one another, neither Beckinsale nor Atwater ever commented on their relationship.

Today, it appears that the two are not together. Perhaps, Atwater and Beckinsale had nothing more than a fling in 2023 and there is no more to be said on the matter.

2 What Kate Beckinsale's Daughter Thinks

Lily Sheen does not mind Kate Beckinsale dating the men she has

Beckinsale is known for dating mostly younger men. Some of them are even her daughter's age. So what does Lily Sheen think about the age difference? An insider told Us Weekly that she doesn't feel like her mom dating younger men affects their relationship.

“Kate’s daughter, Lily, doesn’t care about the age difference between her mom and Goody and is happy that her mom is happy,” the source explains. “Kate and Lily still have a super close and healthy mother-daughter relationship, and Lily does not view Kate as competition or ever feel like Kate would ‘steal’ a guy she might be interested in. Kate would never do that to her daughter, and Kate and Lily also have different taste in guys.”
