Inside the Love Lives of the Fast and Furious Stars

After 20 years of Dom and Letty exchanging soulful gazes or best buds Roman and Tej figuring out one epic motor-vehicle hack after another, it can be easy to forget that the actors who play these characters don’t spend all their time together.

Because in addition to wildly over-the-top driving sequences, the Fast & Furious saga really runs on the theme of family—”by blood or by bond”—so we’ve all got love and brotherhood on the brain now that Fast X is in theaters.

Happily, they’ve also been known to reunite off-plot for weddings, their kids’ play dates and other good times. Ludacris recently told Insider that his Not to mention, the sprawling cast will always be bonded by their billion-dollar box office, a job well done.

But at the end of the day, close as they may be, Vin Diesel and his co-stars scatter to different homes, separate (gulp) cars and their own personal lives.

And with 10 movies so far—the franchise is slated for an 11th lap in 2025—and a lot of different stars zipping in and out of the timeline, often defying the laws of biology and physics, that’s a lot of personal life to keep track of.

So scroll on to see who the stars of Fast & Furious films past and present have chosen to go off-roading with:

For a star of multiple action franchises, Dom, er, Groot, er… Diesel (whose real name is Mark Sinclair) has managed to lead a pretty private life with longtime partner Paloma Jiménez. They’re parents to daughters Hania Riley, 15, and Pauline, 8, and son Vincent, 12—who, incidentally, made his movie debut playing young Dom Toretto in 2021’s Fast 9.

Pauline is named in honor of Fast star Paul Walker, who died in 2013.

While Jiménez, and sometimes the whole family, has been known to join him on the occasional red carpet, Diesel tends to keep a tight lid on their home life—though, if asked, he won’t deny the truth.

“I’m speechless,” he told Entertainment Tonight at the xXx: Return of Xander Cage premiere in 2017 when asked his thoughts on just how amazing Jiménez looked that night. “She’s so stunningly beautiful.”

And, he continued, noting how beautiful she was on the inside as well, “She’s my rock…She’s everything,” including “the perfect mother.”

As Dom’s ride-or-die Letty since 2001’s The Fast and the Furious—through presumed death, amnesia and domestic disagreements over bucolic retirement vs. adrenaline-boosting excitement—Rodriguez stealthily became one of the most bad-ass action heroes around.

The actress appears to be riding solo lately, but her dating history includes Zac Efron and Cara Delevingne, and in recent years she was at least friends with Olivier Martinez.

“I have absolutely nothing consistent in my life,” Rodriguez told Milla Jovovich for Interview magazine in 2015. “But that’s where serendipity comes in and I love that. One day I’m going to have to sacrifice that to bring life into the world. But the more I can hold off on that, the happier I’ll be.

“It’s scary for me,” she continued. “I’m a lone wolf. I run by myself on most things. I’ve got lots of really great friends, but the thought of being in a long-lasting relationship? Psh, I couldn’t last more than six months with somebody, let alone have a father figure around for a kid. I mean, if I could give a kid a father figure, that would be amazing.”

Ultimately, she wanted “that unconditional love,” Rodriguez said, “the kind you get with a family member,” and she thought that was more likely to come from a child. “You might get lucky enough to find that unconditional love in a friend or a lover,” the actress noted, “but it’s very rare.”

So as not to devastate the onscreen family, Dom’s sister Mia Toretto has remained happily paired off with Walker’s Brian O’Conner since they got out of the game in Furious 7. And fans were happy to picture Brian home with the kids when Mia got back into the game in F9.

Brewster married investment company exec Mason Morfit on Sept. 3, 2022, in Santa Barbara, Calif., with a handful of four-wheeled guests from Fast & Furious on display and Diesel, Ludacris and Paul’s daughter Meadow Walker in attendance.

She is also mom to sons Julian, 9, and Rowan, 6, with ex-husband Andrew Form.

“In my 20s and most of my 30s, I second-guessed every move or decision I made,” Brewster wrote in a 2021 Glamour essay, reflecting on the end of her first marriage and finding love again. “In my 40s, I know what I value and am proud of decisions I can make on my own. My newfound security helps my kids in the long run. I know that in my heart. I also feel like I finally have a partner.”
