ACTOR Kevin Spacey is widely recognized for his roles in L.A. Confidential and House of Cards.
While he keeps his love life private and away from the spotlight, many wonder more about Spacey’s romantic endeavours.
Who has Kevin Spacey dated?
As of May 2024, Spacey is not romantically linked to anyone.
The American Beauty actor shocked fans in September 2020 when he was spotted wearing a wedding ring.
However, the actor is not known to be in a relationship.
Spacey tends to keep tight-lipped on his love life but was romantically linked to April Winchell from 1976 to 1977 and Dianne Dreyer from 1992 to 2000.
Dianne, who is a scriptwriter, has been Spacey’s longest relationship that is publically known.
The pair worked together on films including Consenting Adults, Outbreak and Albino Alligator.
In 2000, they both attended the Oscars together, where Spacey publically acknowledged and appreciated Dianne in his award acceptance speech.
Speaking to the A-list crowd at the time, he said: “And Dianne, thank you for teaching me about caring about the right things. And I love you.”
That same year, Spacey was interviewed with 60 Minutes about his relationship status. He replied: “I’ve been in a relationship for a while. Her name is Dianne.”
The pair split that same year.
Spacey has also been romantically linked with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ashleigh Banfield, although these are speculations and have not been confirmed.
Spacey has never been married.
What has Kevin Spacey said about his love life?
After years of speculation, Spacey came out as gay in an X/Twitter statement on October 30, 2017.

“As those closest to me know, in my life I have had relationships with both men and women.
“I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man.”
His confession came years after he had an interview with the Sunday Times in 1999 asking if he was gay, to which he answered: “The answer to that is no. But why should it matter?”
