- Huntington-Whiteley and Statham got engaged in early 2016
- Huntington-Whiteley and Statham have two children together, son Jack and daughter Isabella
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham have been together for over a decade.
The supermodel and the Fast & Furious star first began dating in 2009 after meeting at a party, and they got engaged in 2016. While they haven’t officially tied the knot, the couple have celebrated plenty of major milestones together, including the births of their two children, Jack and Isabella.
Huntington-Whiteley and Statham plan on marrying eventually, however, the mom of two has said they are in no rush to get down the aisle. “I think the time will come,” she told Extra shortly after welcoming their son, Jack. “We’ve been so focused on our work and Jack came along, we definitely talk about it. We’re looking forward to that time. It’s also not a huge priority for us. We’re so happy.”
Though they do attend red carpet events together and occasionally post about each other on social media, Huntington-Whiteley and Statham don’t share too many details about their life as a couple — and now a family of four. However, it is clear that the pair have a lot of love for one another.
From the Met Gala dates to family vacations, here’s everything to know about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham’s relationship.
Early 2009: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham meet
Huntington-Whiteley and Statham, who are both British, first became acquainted at a party in London, as the model shared during a Q&A session on her Instagram Story, per The Daily Mail. “It was instant chemistry,” she said. The pair began dating shortly after, though they kept their relationship very low-key and private in the early days.
During a 2013 interview with Glamour, Huntington-Whiteley later shared what initially attracted her to Statham and why their 20-year age gap doesn’t matter to her. “His knowledge and strength are really inspiring and attractive, and that can come with a man who’s had a bit of time,” she said. “We have a connection that has nothing to do with age. Work comes and goes, but if you have someone at home who thinks you’re the greatest person in the world, that keeps you going.”
