Though she is a Primetime Emmy Award-winning actress for her role as Sally Solomon in “3rd Rock from the Sun,” Kristen hasn’t had an easy life. In recent interviews, Kristen admitted that she had a past addiction to various substances, but now she has been clean for more than a decade.
She has also become an advocate for people that suffer from addiction. She encourages them to speak out and seek help. Other than that, she keeps her private life private, so we don’t know what’s happening to her romantically!
Kristen Johnston - 1999
Ryan Reynolds is a TV star chick magnet. After his breakup from Traylor Howard, the actor started dating Kristen Johnston, a "3rd Rock From the Sun" actress, back in 1999.
The two actors were an unlikely couple, so it was surprising to fans everywhere when the duo showed up at the premiere of the "Green Mile" together.
A Lovely Person
While the details surrounding their short relationship have been unclear for years, Kristen Johnston recently revealed some more juice about her time spent with the heartthrob actor. During an episode of "Watch What Happens Live," Johnston began opening up a little.
She only had good things to say about what it was like dating Reynolds. She told Andy Cohen, “It was so long ago I forgot, but literally, so nice, great guy, lovely,” she declared. “Lovely person.”
Rachael Leigh Cook - 2001
Rachael Leigh Cook portrayed the nerdy girl in "She’s All That" until Freddie Prinze Jr. took her glasses off. After Ryan Reynolds and Kristen Johnston broke up, the actor was romantically linked to Rachael Leigh Cook in 2001.
When it comes to sparking up relationships with film and television stars, Ryan Reynolds is the guy. Unfortunately, his relationship with Rachael didn't last as long as fans were hoping it would.
Rising Stars
At the end of the day, both Rachael and Ryan have been quiet about the details surrounding their short-lived romance back in the early 2000s. Perhaps the reason the two actors didn't last was their budding careers.
Though Ryan's career has lifted off much more than Rachael's, they were both on their way to stardom at the time. Reynolds had just landed a role as Van Wilder in 2002, and Cook starred in the film "Josie and the Pussycats."
