Before settling down, actor Jamie Dornan was linked to a slew a Hollywood's female stars.

The Northern Irish star - who was recently treated for a suspected heart attack -started dating actor-turned-musician Amelia Warner in 2010 after meeting her at a mutual friend's party, and they tied the knot three years later. They went on to have three daughters, Dulcie, 10, Elva, seven, and Alberta, four, and reportedly live in a £1.75million farmhouse in the Cotswolds, having moved from LA.

But before that Jamie, 41, was previously linked to Kiera Knightley, Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss. He dated Keira from 2003 until 2005, and was quoted as saying that he felt inferior as her fame increased. "There is a big pressure when you go out with someone like Keira," he once told the Mail on Sunday. 

"You can feel a bit second-rate and that's what started to happen. It's not like I was bringing the bread to the table - and that can start to affect everything. Keira could see what I was going through and it would have been better if I'd kept it hidden from her."

He went on to reportedly date Sienna, but also crushed on his wife Amelia, 41, long before they met. He said on Face to Face in 2018: "I had this weird thing where I always felt that if I met her that we would just get on. It was just a strange thing. Something about her eyes. I just thought that we would work."

The actor revealed more details about their first meeting on The Late Late Show when he told James Corden: "She'd been an actor so I knew who she was. I always fancied her, and we were doing karaoke and... a friend of ours said, 'Listen, Amelia Warner's at a house party up by Los Feliz and she's single.' I literally dropped the mic and was like, you know, ran for the hills."

While the Belfast star had previously dated Keira Knightley, Amelia had a short non-legal marriage with Colin Farrell which only lasted four months. Speaking about getting together with Amelia, Jamie told the Belfast Telegraph: "I was smitten with her from the start, I really was. I'm more in love with her today than I was at the start."

A few years after they got married, Jamie admitted he was 'delighted' to have a wife so he no longer has to clear up speculation about his love life. When asked about not having to deal with rumours, he told Marie Claire: "Absolutely delighted. But saying that, people like to go after your family and sh*t as well. It's one of the main reasons I left social media. They say horrific things about your loved ones, and so it opens up fast... but yes, the idea of being single makes me instantly sweat."

The Irish actor was also quick to rubbish any rumours of a rift with his Fifty Shades co-star, Dakota Johnson. He said: "We get on very well, we make each other laugh and we're comfortable with each other, which is very important because Jesus, if I didn't get on with her... I've heard horror stories of that happening. Actors who have to do intimate things with another actor and they just don't get on... It's not good."

Jamie is best known for playing Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades franchise and is currently on screens portraying Elliot Stanley in the drama series The Tourist, while Amelia is an award-winning composer with music in numerous films including Wild Mountain Thyme - which her husband co-starred in alongside Emily Blunt.
