The couple was first linked back in 2009, when Skarsgard was still most well-known for playing a bad boy bloodsucker on True Blood. As People reported at the time, the duo was spotted getting cozy at legendary celeb hangout the Chateau Marmont in L.A. Bosworth had presented Skarsgard with his Best Villain award at Spike TV's Scream Awards earlier that same night. They were initially linked because of Straw Dogs, which was about to go into production at the time.

Onlookers claimed they were flirting and holding hands. The following year, the couple was spotted kissing, again at the Chateau Marmont, but Bosworth demurred in an interview with People that they were just "very good friends." She did admit, however, "He's a wonderful, wonderful man. I adore him." Skarsgard previously told the publication, when it comes to women, "A sense of humor is number one, for sure. Being funny and smart is very important."
