Actress Minka Kelly is making her way back to television as the lead actress opposite Josh Duhamel in Netflix’s new series Ransom Canyon. With over two decades in the industry, you might recognize her from other projects like The Roommate, Friday Night Lights, and more. But you may not be as familiar with her extensive (and impressive!) dating history—including her current relationship with Imagine Dragons frontman, Dan Reynolds.
Before we get into her current romance, let’s take a walk down memory lane and revisit the famous suitors who have captured Kelly’s heart. You may be surprised by who made the list.
