Brooks Nader, Taron Egerton Spark Romance Rumors With PDA-Filled Outing

Minnie Driver and Matt Damon

The Good Will Hunting stars paired off in real life, too, but they didn’t drive off into the sunset together.

“Well, I’m single,” Damon said on The Oprah Winfrey Show in January 1998. “I was with Minnie for a while, but we’re not really romantically involved anymore. We’re just really good friends, and I love her dearly….I care about her a lot. We care about each other a lot. It wasn’t meant to be, you know? And if it’s not meant to be, then it’s not meant to be.”

The pronouncement was a bit too public for Driver’s taste. “It’s unfortunate that Matt went on Oprah,” she told the LA Times later that year. “It seemed like a good forum for him to announce to the world that we were no longer together, which I found fantastically inappropriate.”
