Cristin Milioti is facing a new wave of stardom. Born and raised in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, the actress made her professional splash in the entertainment industry nearly two decades ago, and since then, has bagged quite a lot of commendable acts. But while projects likePalm SpringsandHow I Met Your Motherearned her significant fame, her career has been met with a whole other boost with her exclusive seriesThe Penguin.
Though she has scored major roles in other projects – both movies and TV series – and earned herself tremendous acclaim through the same as well, Milioti’s character in this currently raging HBO series stands out for one too many reasons, and is, thus, having her launch to extraordinary heights of stardom and success. And being under the limelight this way, a lot of speculation has also started swirling around the actress’ personal life.
However, disappointingly enough, fans aren’t in for a lot of treats as the mere bare minimum has been made known about the 39-year-old actress’ private life, especially regarding her dating and relationship history. Nonetheless, here’s everything we know about Cristin Milioti’s mysterious dating life, from her rumored off-screen romances with actors she shared onscreen chemistry with to the relationships the actress herself confirmed being in.
Cristin Milioti’s Personal Life is a Global Mystery
Cristin Miliotimay have earned worldwide recognition for all the lovable roles she has embodied for the screens – take that of the Mother inHIMYMor that of Zelda Vasco inA to Z. But when it comes to her actual dating profile, things are as mysterious as the deep blue sea.
As it turns out, the actress has been intricately private about the people she has let into her life romantically to date. Even though she has played quite a lot of love interests for the screen, sharing offscreen chemistries with those actors doesn’t seem to have played out for Milioti.

This stands true considering how she hasn’t even been reported, let alone confirmed, to have gone out with her co-stars or been involved romantically with them in any way. So far, there haven’t even been reports of her marriage, with the only thing known for sure about her dating life being the one relationship she herself confirmed a few years ago.
Did Cristina Milioti and Josh Radnor Date in Real Life?
In the smash hit drama seriesHow I Met Your Mother, Cristin Milioti served as the perfectly surprising element as she finally appeared as the Mother, i.e. the main character Tracy, about whomJosh Radnor‘s Ted recounts in his never-ending story to his children about how he met their mother. To say the least, her onscreen chemistry with Radnor was so believable that many even suspected them to be real-life couples.
But while the two were widely shipped by fans together, no reports regarding the pair’s offscreen romance have been shared or even confirmed by either of the actors. For a while, rumors and speculation did have it among fans that Radnor and Milioti found offscreen love as well and dated for a brief period (seeReddit). But that’s all it was – rumors, so nothing is known for sure if the offscreen romance actually existed or not.
Cristin Milioti’s Last Confirmed Boyfriend was Jesse Hooker
Over the years, Cristin Milioti has been more than just merely discreet about her personal love agendas, and so far, she has only had one confirmed boyfriend. This would be Jesse Hooker, a reported furniture maker cum actor, who is also the son of actress cum singer Lorna Luft and the grandson of the late actress cum singer Judy Garland and is currently 44 years old.
More than a decade ago, in 2013, Milioti confirmed this news toThe New York Times, even clearing off the speculations and rumors that she had been engaged to him.“No, I swear to you I’m telling the truth! My boyfriend’s going to get such a kick out of that,”theMade for Loveactress had said back then, refuting the engagement rumors.“But we’re very happy.”

As for when they met, Cristin Milioti revealed during a 2014 interview withThe Hollywood Reporterhow long she had been in a relationship with Hooker and how the two met. Admitting to the fact that she had never tried online dating, she said back then,“I’ve been in a relationship for five years, and we were introduced through a mutual friend.”
However, it seems like this relationship wasn’t meant to be lifelong. According to reports fromDistractify, Hooker last posted an image of the actress on his Instagram handle in 2016. Additionally,@hookerandcoalso posted images of a woman with a baby with the caption,“Happiest Birthday to @abbyclair! I’d be rudderless without you…..Love you and see you both soon!”

Additionally, the actress doesn’t even follow Hooker anymore from her Instagram handle@cristinmilioti. Of course, it seems like the pair really broke up for quite some time now, and have moved on in their respective lives. That said, nothing can be said for sure about Milioti’s current dating status.
Cristin Milioti Feels Her Personal Life is Tied to How She Thinks About Her Career
While her keeping her personal life strictly under wraps and being so strictly secret about her romantic involvements may be annoying to some, Cristin Milioti has a well-thought reasoning behind it all. In an interview withVulturefrom a few years ago, she revealed that even though her personal life may be private, it is tied to how she thinks about her professional career.
Back then, she revealed that in 2016, she had been working on a pilot that, unfortunately, didn’t end up getting picked up. During that very time, she had also“gone through some things in my personal life that were really sad and eye-opening, and sort of ego-shattering.”This led to her coming to a sudden realization about her private and public life.

Continuing in the interview,Milioti admitted to her thoughts out loud, saying,“I had a moment of waking up and being like, ‘Wow, we’ve tried the same thing over and over and over again for years. What if we tried something else?’”Eventually, this epiphany had her letting go of her compulsive need for control in all aspects of her life – being a“control … enthusiast.”
“I say all this, and I’m cringing a little bit. It’s hard for me to talk about these things because I believe them very deeply, but also I come from New Jersey,”Milioti went on to say, joking about it.“I’ll read these books that are like, ‘You’ve got to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else,’ and I’m like ‘Are you f—ing kidding me? Get back!’”
Well, for what it’s worth, Cristin Milioti sounds like she knows what she’s doing now. Either way, summing it all up, she is currently not in any confirmed relationship and is unmarried at 39 – but happily so, considering how she seems to be a lot more focused on her career, which has finally gotten her to become a part of the very franchise that she grew up fangirling over.
