Taylor Kitsch
Back in 2018, Taylor Kitsch confirmed that he and Minka dated while they filmed Friday Night Lights, which ran for five season from 2006 until 2011. Their characters also dated on the show.
In her new memoir Tell Me Everything, there’s a whole chapter titled “Cancer” where Minka goes into detail about her relationship with Taylor.
Minka wrote that she and Taylor broke up and got back together “more times than [she] [could] count” during their time on set.
She wrote, “Life became very difficult both on and off set whenever we broke up. We were young and had very few tools to handle our emotions and personal grievances. On the days we had to work together and were broken up, he didn’t want to be in the hair and makeup trailer at the same time I was.”
“We couldn’t ride in the van together from base camp to set for the same reason,” she added. “On those days, the tension on set was high and everyone felt the awkwardness.”
Minka credits the end of their relationship them being “very young and very sensitive.”
She also revealed the lesson she learned from their relationship: “Vulnerability begets connection, as evidenced by the outcome of both our coping mechanisms. My tough-guy approach only left me alone. If you behave as if you need no one, if no one around you knows any better, most certainly, no one will, in fact, be there.”
