The two met in Tobey Maguire’s backyard. At the time, Shepard was in a relationship and Hudson was married to Chris Robinson. A few years later, Shepard and Hudson were both single and decided to spark a fake romance.

“We exited Nobu; I was shirtless; we were holding hands,” he recalled. “I was acting mad at the paparazzi that they were invading our privacy. And then that just led to somehow hanging out.”

They ended up dating for a few months before splitting. “We were in different places in our lives, I think,” Shepard explained.

“It was so much fun and then it got hot fast,” Hudson explained. “It got connective, and I wasn’t prepared. I was making a movie; I had [my son] Ryder.”
