A look at Charlie Cox’s Previous Relationships
Charlie and Samantha met when Charlie was 32 years old, so let’s look back at his previous relationships, which include many famous women.
Janet Montgomery
Before Samantha, he dated Janet Montgomery, a British actress, for one year. They met at the Bowery Hotel in New York when Charlie was doing Boardwalk Empire, and Janet was meeting with her agent.
Could she have been Charlie Cox’s wife? The two hit it off and felt instantly connected.
They often went on holiday together in the Caribbean and even started looking for a house in London. It was the first relationship that Janet had had with another actor.
There were rumors that Janet did try to get back with Charlie after they had broken up, but this has not been confirmed. Janet is currently single.
Kate Mara
A few years before Janet, in 2008, Charlie also dated Kate Mara, his co-star on Stone of Destiny. The couple dated for one year and were often seen on the red carpet and at fundraisers.
It is thought that Kate dumped Charlie after he dropped the Lombardi Trophy, one of the most precious football trophies of all time, and caught it with his steel-capped boot, which put a dent in it.
Kate is now happily married to Bill Elliot star Jamie Bell, who she acted with in Fantastic Four.
Lynn Collins
In 2004, Charlie also dated his American Merchant of Venice co-star, Lynn Collins, who was five years older than him. The relationship didn’t last long, and Lynn later married fellow actor Steven Strait. Since the break-up was amicable, Lynn and Charlie have maintained a great relationship.
Lily Cole
It is also rumored that Charlie Cox had a secret relationship with Lily Cole, as they had been pictured arriving at various events together, such as The Old Vic 24 Hour celebrity afterparty. This rumor has neither been confirmed nor dismissed. We suspect the two were together for a short period but decided to go their separate way after a while.
