Jason Statham has been garnering attention for his action role in The Expendables 4. Alongside his acting career, the famous actor is known for his relationship with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
They began dating in early 2009 after meeting at a party in London, England, and immediately hit it off. In an interview with Glamour in 2013, the model mentioned that the 20-year age gap was not an issue when she first met Statham: โHis knowledge and strength are truly inspiring and attractive. Our connection has nothing to do with age. Jobs come and go, but when you have someone at home who thinks youโre the greatest person in the world, it gives you the motivation to keep going.โ
Two years into their relationship, they made their first public appearance together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. In an interview with The Violet Files in 2014, the model revealed that laughter was an essential part of her love with Statham, and he had taught her most of the Cockney slang (traditional English dialect). โI got a lot of strange looks because nobody expected me to say those things. In America, people think weโre crazy,โ Rosie said.
In 2016, the couple publicly announced their engagement after Rosie was seen wearing a ring at the Golden Globes. According to People magazine, designer Neil Lane stated that Statham had been searching for the perfect ring for Rosie for a while. They planned to get married but didnโt rush the preparations and waited for the right moment. โWeโve been focusing on work, talking about the wedding, and looking forward to it. Itโs not a huge priority for both of us,โ Rosie told Extra in 2018.
While they donโt frequently discuss their relationship, they often appear together on red carpets and support each other in their respective careers. In May 2018, Statham congratulated Rosie on launching her beauty brand, Rosie Inc, on Instagram: โSo proud to see you pursue your dreams and turn them into reality. Congratulations, my love.โ This was one of the rare occasions when the actor posted about his fiancรฉe.
In addition to their strong relationship, Statham and Rosie find happiness in raising their children. On June 24, 2017, they welcomed their first child, a son named Jack Oscar. In an interview with Extra, the model revealed that Statham enjoys being a father: โHeโs thrilled to wake up at 5 a.m., fulfill his fatherly duties, and let me sleep for an extra hour. Statham is very enthusiastic and a wonderful father. I feel very lucky to go on this journey with him.โ
According to People, the couple chooses not to have their children in the public eye to allow them to grow up normally and prioritize family time. On February 2, 2022, they welcomed their second child, a daughter named Isabella James. Rosie wrote on social media that during her second pregnancy, she felt more confident and comfortable both mentally and physically.
