Anna Kendrick is enjoying a laid-back outing with her new boyfriend, Alex Edelman. The 39-year-old actress and 39-year-old comedian were spotted together in Burbank, California on Saturday, July 12, just days after a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the two had been dating for “several months.”
The couple, who has kept their relationship relatively private, was seen grabbing takeout from Porto’s Bakery, a popular spot in the area, before heading to another store. Photographers captured them walking side-by-side, engaged in a cheerful conversation, both smiling as they enjoyed their low-key date.
The pair kept things casual, wearing jeans, white T-shirts, and sneakers, with Kendrick also sporting sunglasses and a black crossbody bag.
A Private, Low-Key Relationship
While the couple has kept their romance mostly under wraps, a source close to Kendrick confirmed that they have been dating for a few months. The insider also shared some sweet details about their relationship, including the fact that Kendrick has met Edelman’s mom and that the two celebrated his birthday together in March.
The source emphasized that despite Kendrick’s private nature, “It doesn’t seem casual.” The couple enjoys spending time at low-key restaurants away from the spotlight, often avoiding the typical celebrity hangouts.
Past Relationships
This new relationship follows Kendrick’s more public romantic history. She was previously in a long-term relationship with Edgar Wright, the director of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, from 2009 to 2013, and later dated Ben Richardson, a cinematographer, from 2014 to 2020.
Most recently, Kendrick was linked to actor Bill Hader in 2020. The two kept their relationship relatively private, but it was reported that they quietly dated for over a year before breaking up in June 2022.
Despite their split, Kendrick has remained private about her personal life, and she recently opened up about her past experiences during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
Opening Up About the Past
During the podcast, Kendrick shared her experience of being in an abusive relationship, though she didn’t name the ex she was referring to.
Reflecting on the experience, she said it was “difficult to identify” that she was in an abusive relationship initially because it “didn’t follow the traditional pattern” that people often associate with abuse. “I was reading all the articles and going, ‘Some of it looks like how they’re describing it, but not completely,'” she explained.
Despite the challenges in her past, Kendrick appears to be in a much better place now, enjoying her new relationship with Edelman and embracing a quieter, more private life.
