Seth MacFarlane is the creator of “Family Guy,” but he is not a family man. It sounds ironic, but it is not for his lack of trying. The talented writer has tried to have long-lasting relationships, and his extensive dating history is proof of that.
However, despite his efforts, nobody bears the title of Seth MacFarlane’s wife. MacFarlane once likened himself to his famous “Family Guy” character, Brian Griffin. But, although he has been with women, he hasn’t found Mrs. Right.
The talented screenwriter is blessed with good looks and never seems to age, so it baffles many people that he has never been married. Here is all we know about his love life.
Seth MacFarlane’s Relationship History
As earlier stated, MacFarlane has never been married but not for lack of trying. The talented writer is known to keep his relationship life as private as possible, so there are many speculations about it.
However, some records prove he has been active in dating circles, just not lucky. Indeed, MacFarlane has been linked to several women, including his co-stars and other top figures.
From the late ’90s until the early 2000s, MacFarlane was associated with three women; Nicole Sullivan, Christa Campbell, and Jessica Barth. In 2007, he started a relationship with Kat Foster and Camille Guaty.
Then he was linked to Amanda Bynes and Eliza Dushku the following year. By 2009, the actor had moved on. He had two romantic relationships that year, one with Kaylee DeFer and the other with Katie Sah.
He went on to date Trisha Cummings for two years, from 2010 to 2012, before getting together with “Game of Thrones” actress Emilia Clarke. MacFarlane and Clarke initially sparked dating rumors when they attended the HBO Emmy after-party in 2012.
Seth MacFarlane and Emilia Clarke’s Relationship Caused a Stir
Many people were shocked to find out that MacFarlane and Clarke were dating after they were seen together at an HBO Emmy after-party in September 2012. Clarke attended as a member of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” cast. She later confirmed they were romantically involved, which opened a new can of worms — public opinion.
Clarke has shared what she feels about the troubles of dating someone famous. She said, “Well, a con is you have strangers giving you love-life advice.”
The talented actress told Glamour that one fan that meant too well even deemed it fit to question her decision to date Seth MacFarlane under the guise of getting a selfie.
She recalled: “That happened in New York when Seth and I were together. This guy started advising me: ‘Can I get a selfie? And by the way…’ Unh-unh, bro.”
Is Emilia Clarke Still Seth MacFarlane’s Girlfriend?
MacFarlane and Clarke’s relationship didn’t last very long despite all the attention it got. In the end, what ruined it was their busy schedules.
One source claimed that it was a location problem. They said: “She has been in Europe shooting Game of Thrones, and he is based in California, so it was hard to make it work despite the distance. They have remained friends.”
Despite the short-lived affair, MacFarlane has nothing but praise for his former lover. He once called her “an incredibly kind, supremely talented person and one of the hardest-working people” he has ever met.
MacFarlane maintains that dating a famous figure is doubly hard. He once said: “It’s a pain in the a** because if you date, at a certain point, you’re in a relationship, and at a certain point, you’re playing the field. It becomes this thing of trying to find places where you can have some privacy, where you’re not going to be accosted by people and suddenly linked to someone as if you’re in a serious relationship.”
Who Is Seth McFarlene Dating Now?
Some sources claim MacFarlane is dating his “Orville” co-star Anne Winter. They reportedly went Instagram official after she posted a picture of them cuddling and watching a movie in December 2020.
Besides that, there have barely been any extra clues, and neither Seth MacFarlane nor Anne Winter has come forward to confirm the relationship. Some other famous faces in Hollywood who have never been married include Keanu Reeves and Leonardo DiCaprio.
