Anna Kendrick Ex-Boyfriend: Anna Kendrick has been making a splash in Hollywood ever since she burst onto the scene in the 2003 film “Camp.” From the late 2000s to the early 2010s, she made her mark with roles in four of the five Twilight movies, as well as standout performances in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “Up in the Air,” and “50/50” by 2011.
However, it’s safe to say that her breakout moment came with her role as Beca Mitchell in the 2013 musical comedy “Pitch Perfect,” where she shared the screen with Rebel Wilson, Adam DeVine, and Brittany Snow.
Following the success of “Pitch Perfect,” Kendrick continued to shine in lead roles, ranging from animated films like “Trolls” to heartwarming holiday movies such as Disney+‘s “Noelle.” More recently, she took a departure from her musical and comedic roots to star in the indie psychological thriller “Alice, Darling.”
Beyond her prolific acting career, Kendrick is known for keeping her personal life under wraps. Nevertheless, she has occasionally made headlines for her rumored relationships, including one with her “End of Watch” co-star Jake Gyllenhaal in 2011 and, more recently, her romance with comedian Bill Hader, which lasted from 2021 to June 2022.
Despite her usual discretion about her love life, Kendrick opened up on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast about being in a lengthy toxic relationship. Although she didn’t disclose which relationship she was referring to, she shared that after six years, she realized something was wrong.
According to Us Weekly, Kendrick revealed on the podcast:
“I was with someone — this was somebody I lived with, for all intents and purposes my husband. We had embryos together, this was my person. . . . I remember telling my brother, when things had first kind of gone down, ‘I’m living with a stranger. Like, I don’t know what’s happening.'”

Edgar Wright (2009-2013)
Anna Kendrick crossed paths with English filmmaker Edgar Wright while working on “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” in 2009.

The couple chose to keep their relationship low-key throughout the four years they were together, eventually parting ways in March 2013 as per Us Weekly.
Despite the breakup, Kendrick and Wright have managed to maintain a positive relationship. They’ve engaged in playful banter on Twitter in the past, and during a January 2023 episode of Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Kendrick shared that she and Wright were “still very close.”
Ben Richardson (2014-2020)
Just like with Wright, Anna Kendrick found love on a movie set. The “Pitch Perfect” sensation crossed paths with cinematographer Ben Richardson during the making of the 2013 film “Drinking Buddies.” However, it wasn’t until a year later, in 2014, that the two decided to give dating a shot.
Despite being together for six years, Kendrick and Richardson were notoriously tight-lipped about their relationship. Unfortunately, the duo called it quits in 2020, as reported by Page Six.
Bill Hader (2021-June 2022)
Anna Kendrick and comedian Bill Hader actually crossed paths long before they officially started dating in 2021. However, the public only caught wind of their relationship a year later in January 2022.
A source close to Kendrick, known for her role in “Trolls,” shared insights with People, saying, “They met years ago. She’s hosted ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and they’ve worked together on a movie, but they only became a couple well after the film.”
According to the source, their romance blossomed during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, making it convenient for them to keep their relationship low-key.
The insider mentioned, “They are both very private people and with the pandemic, it was easy to keep it quiet.” Despite the public perception of a harmonious relationship, Kendrick and Hader decided to part ways in June 2022, as reported by Entertainment Tonight.
