Minnie Driver opened up about her past relationship on Saturday.
The 54-year-old British actress — who recently opened up about sexism in Hollywood — explained that she dodged a bullet by not marrying her ex-fiancé Josh Brolin, 56.
She told The Sunday Times, ‘This one time I was engaged, it would have been, I think, the biggest mistake of my life.’
‘If I look at my history, what it did was make me want to be married so much and then choose men who were so not the right men to be married to,’ the Circle of Friends actress said.
She continued: ‘So I would carry on longing to be married and to have that conservative version [of a relationship], find men who had no interest in that, and then if one did, run a mile she went on.
‘But now I’m with someone who doesn’t want to get married but who is the most devoted, loving, extraordinary… Everything I could have wanted in my childhood idea of a husband, he actually is,’ she finished.
The British actress is dating her longtime love, American director Addison O’Dea, 45, who she was first linked to in 2019.
She shares son Henry, 15, with television writer and producer ex Timothy J. Lea, 64. She and the filmmaker met at a Los Angeles party and immediately hit it off.
Driver also romanced actor Matt Damon after they met while filming the 1997 film Good Will Hunting.
Last month, The Beekeeper star opened up about her dating habits and advice she wishes she could’ve given her younger self.
‘Don’t date actors, but I had the best time doing it’ Minnie said bluntly on the Today Show. ‘I wish she knew all the stuff I know now.’
‘I would tell her, “Honey find a nice plumber, find an electrician, find someone who just wants to stay home and support you,”‘ she said.
Minnie went on to explain that while looking back she is grateful for the experiences with the men she has worked with on set as an actress.
‘I have only love, like it was the most extraordinary moment in my life,’ she said to the outlet, ‘nothing but love for all those men.’
After Minnie Driver’s candid revelations about her past relationship with Josh Brolin, fans were shocked to learn about the potential mistake she narrowly avoided. Her honesty about her desire for marriage and the struggles she faced in finding the right partner resonated with many. It’s refreshing to see her now in a loving and committed relationship with Addison O’Dea, despite their decision not to marry.
Driver’s advice to her younger self about avoiding actors and seeking a partner who values stability and support over glamour is sage wisdom. Her reflections on her past romances with fellow actors and the gratitude she feels towards them for the experiences they shared on set show a level of maturity and understanding that is truly admirable.
As fans of Minnie Driver continue to support her journey, they eagerly anticipate what the future holds for her both personally and professionally. Stay tuned for more updates on this talented actress and her inspiring story.
