Celebrities might look like their lives are perfect, but even they aren’t immune to love failures. Last year, several star couples called it quits, some after years of being together, while others only had fun for some months, and among them was Anna Kendrick’s relationship with Bill Hader.
A Look Into Her Relationships
Since the actors broke up after six months of a private romance, Kendrick has spent time reflecting on her past relationships. She was recently featured on Dax Shepard’s podcast, Armchair Expert , where she talked about how difficult it was for her to get out of an abusive relationship.
They Were Together For Six Years
Anna recalls being in a six-year toxic relationship with a man she thought would be her husband for the rest of her life. They were so deep that they got her embryos frozen for the time they were ready to have children.
She Felt She Was Lucky Her Partner Was With Her
Still, no matter how much couples therapy they did, the relationship wasn’t meant to be. Kendrick said she tried many things to remain together; however, one day, she realized they were doomed; she added, “I remember telling my brother, when things had first kind of gone down, ‘I’m living with a stranger. Like, I don’t know what’s happening.”
