So, Anna Kendrick, right? That name just popped into my head the other day, and I got to thinking. She’s super talented, great in movies, can sing like nobody’s business. And then, for whatever reason, my brain went, “Hey, who was she with for a really long time?” Specifically, that ex of about 7 years people sometimes mention.
How I Even Got Onto This Train of Thought
Alright, so get this. I was meant to be doing something actually productive. I think I was staring at a pile of paperwork that wasn’t going to file itself, or maybe it was that one cupboard in the kitchen I’ve been meaning to sort out for ages. You know how it is – real adult responsibilities.
But, like it often does, my mind just decided to take a detour. A big one. I’d recently rewatched “Up in the Air,” and she’s fantastic in that. And from there, I guess my thoughts just wandered into her general career and life, and bam, this specific question about a long-term ex popped up.
My Little “Investigation” – If You Can Call It That
So there I was, phone in hand, completely off-task. My important job totally forgotten. I started by just typing in the usual stuff, you know, “Anna Kendrick dating history” or something similar. You get a bunch of names, some short, some just rumors, the usual stuff you find online.
I wasn’t digging for dirt, not really. Just, you know, curious about the story behind the person, I guess. I had this feeling I’d heard about a significant relationship, one that lasted a good while. So, I tweaked my search. Things like “Anna Kendrick long relationship” or trying to remember any names I might have seen before.
It’s kind of funny, the hoops you jump through when you’re trying to remember a piece of trivia. My process went something like this:
- I vaguely remembered her dating a director, Edgar Wright. Saw his name come up. They were together for a fair bit, a few years, but not the seven I was thinking of.
- Kept scrolling through articles, looking for mentions in older interviews, that sort of thing. You kind of piece things together from different places.
- I tried to filter out the noise, the clickbait, and find some actual info.
And Then, The Answer Popped Up
Finally, after a bit of this aimless searching, I landed on it. The “ex of 7 years” – that was Ben Richardson. He’s a cinematographer. Turns out they were together for a good stretch, around seven years, which is quite something. They apparently met on a film set, “Drinking Buddies,” I think it was. And they kept things pretty private, which, honestly, good for them.
So, that’s the story of how I satisfied my random curiosity. All thanks to avoiding actual chores. It’s amazing what you can find out when you’re supposed to be doing something else entirely. It just shows, sometimes these little detours lead you to some interesting little facts. And now I know!
