Justin Long, Kate Bosworth’s Rare Photos Together

True love, and you can’t convince us otherwise! Justin Long and Kate Bosworth may win the award for Hollywood’s cutest couple.

While fans know the 21 alum as Kate, you’re more likely to her Dodgeball star boyfriend calling the actress by her full name.

“It’s a little more personal. Even though it’s longer and a pain in the ass to say,” he revealed during a November 2022 on Today, sharing a rare insight into their romance. Justin went on to say that Kate makes him “glow” and talking about her makes him “blush.”

However, hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb pushed for more info. So, Justin confirmed that he and Kate have been dating for a little over a year.

“It’s the best best,” he said of their love. “It’s so nice to talk about.”

The actors first met in 2021 while filming a movie together in Arkansas. At the time, the Along for the Ride actress was still married to ex-husband Michael Polish. Kate and Michael announced their split in August of that same year.

As for the actress and Justin’s romance, dating rumors started swirling in December 2021 when Justin confirmed that he had a girlfriend during an episode of his “Life is Short” podcast. He didn’t refer to Kate by name at the time. It wasn’t until March 2022 that they were spotted together publicly.

“There’s something about it, for me, that I feel like I need to protect and keep sacred because it feels sacred,” the Barbarian actor said of his girlfriend on Chelsea Handler’s “Dear Chelsea” podcast in May 2022. “I’ve never had anything like this before; I’ve never experienced this. So, it’s something I want to protect and keep, you know?”

Throughout their time together, the couple has been open about their relationship online.

“You were born today and the world lit up brighter than it had known and years later you met a girl who’s life was disassembled / rearranged but you were patient and with time she fell in love now she has a glow (one that was forgotten long ago) she is so grateful *more than you’ll ever know,” Kate shared via Instagram in June 2022. “Happy Birthday @justinlong you make me smile so big my face hurts xx. Thank you for creating peace in my heart since the day we met.”

Her 40th Birthday

“She is also the best part of my day, everyday — even when we’re not together. She laughs with abandon. She makes me laugh the same — all the time. She sees beauty everywhere and in everyone. She thanks everyone — even when she’s suffering, she’s kind. She was grateful to the nurses while she was in true pain,” Justin captioned a series of sweet pictures, celebrating Kate’s 40th birthday in January 2023. “She is deeply compassionate and can’t hurt anyone but she can be a rascal. She loves to tease. She has the best softest lips I’ve ever kissed. She loves beer and football more than I do (and I love beer and football). She is the strongest person I’ve ever known. She’s fiercely committed to the truth. She’s so fun to work with. She’s the most fun to do everything with. She is genuinely curious about people and the world. She makes everything in my life better — all my favorite songs and movies, vacations and sunsets and Chinese food.”

He continued, “She strives to be better but she’s the best person I know. She will do anything for her friends. She is so generous she makes my parents slightly uncomfortable around the holidays (she also makes the best cookies). She is the most beautiful human being I’ve ever seen. She is purely good. She will stand up to anyone who isn’t. She has true integrity and grit. She has, by far, my favorite smile. She is sitting next to me writing her own Instagram post that I know will be eloquent and funny and deeply honest — because she is all those things. She is going to write such a great inspiring book one day. She is my joy. She is my best friend.”
