Winona Ryder once again returns in Stranger Things season 4, part 2m which drops on Netflix on July 1. The star has been an icon in Hollywood for decades and she has been romantically attached to a few major names
Winona Ryder has been a consistent face in Hollywood for decades and has been embroiled in more than one relationship drama over the years.
Her career received a new lease of life when Netflix hired her to join the cast of Stranger Things.
It is now the biggest show on the platform, with Winona one of the most recognisable names in it.
On July 1, it will return for two feature-length episodes in season 4 part 2.
Before she joined the sci-fi series, she dated some of the Hollywood elite since the 1980s and beyond, including Johnny Depp, who recently won his court case against Amber Heard.
Rob Lowe
During the mid-1980s, Winona and Rob Lowe were seen together on a few occasions.
It isn’t clear how long they were an item for, though they did attend the Golden Globes together in 1988.
Rumours suggested they started dating while filming Square Dance together.
Christian Slater
Not long after her previous relationship fizzled out, Winona dated Christian Slater between 1988 and 1989.
They starred together in Heathers and their romance continued off-screen.
However, it wasn’t meant to be as in 1993 she told Vogue: “He broke my heart, or I thought he did at the time.”
Johnny Depp
Her most well-known relationship was with Johnny Depp, as she showed her support for her ex during the 2022 Amber Heard libel case.
Lasting from 1989 to 1993, they first met on the set of Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands, a film that defined them both.
In one interview regarding the relationship, Winona said: “When I met Johnny, I was pure virgin. He changed that. He was my first everything. My first real kiss. My first real boyfriend. My first fiancé. The first guy I had sex with.
“So, he’ll always be in my heart. Forever. Kind of funny that word.”
David Pirner
She then started a two-year relationship with David Pirner, from 1994 to 1996.
He is the frontman of the band Soul Asylum, with rumours suggesting the two met when he played at MTV Unplugged.
The relationship was largely left under wraps, with Winona revealing little about it.
David Duchovny
If Winona was one of the defining actresses of the 1990s, then David Duchovny was one of the defining actors.
He became a household name overnight following the premiere of the X-Files, though his relationship was unclear from the start.
In an interview with TV Guide, he said, “I’m happy, and I’m in love,” though Winona later said she was “completely single”.
Matt Damon
For the next three years, from 1997 to 2000, she started dating Matt Damon, after the pair were introduced by Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck.
The two only became red carpet official in 2000 when they attended the Golden Globes together.
However, they split soon afterwards, though they ended their romance on good terms.
Pete Yorn
A year later, in 2001, Winona dated musician Pete Yorn, though they didn’t last long.
For reasons that were never revealed, the two called it quits less than a year later.
Page Hamilton
She then stayed with the music scene and found romance with Page Hamilton in 2003.
Once again though, it was short lived, as after the release of his album Size Matters in 2004, they broke up.
Henry Alex-Rubin
It seems her next relationship was a long time coming, as reports suggested Winona knew Henry Alex-Rubin for years before they took things to the next level.
He was a filmmaker, who made a mockumentary about her shoplifting scandal in 2001.
Winona clearly saw the funny side though, as she actually starred in the film herself.
The two broke up soon after, though the reasons were never disclosed.
Blake Sennett
Rilo Kiley’s guitarist Blake Sennet started a relationship with Winona in 2007.
Once again, it didn’t last long though, as within a year they split.
Little is known about the details of the relationship, as it was soon overshadowed by her next partner.
Who is Winona Ryder dating now?
Winona has been in a committed relationship with Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2011.
The pair have largely kept the details of their relationship secret, with it being unclear how they met.
Scott is the founder and CEO of Loomstate, a fashion company that strives to create environmentally friendly clothing.
Speaking to Time Magazine, he said: “We found out how destructive conventional cotton farming is, so we made a brand just focused on organic cotton.”
