Although neither Frankie nor Amanda ever confirmed they were dating one another, it was rumored that the two were in a relationship between 2002 and 2003. Dedicated fans will remember that Big Fat Liar (co-starring Amanda and Frankie) came out in 2002, so if they did date, we’re guessing working together on this movie played a big role in their relationship.

After acting together in the show What I Like About You, Amanda and Nick started dating in 2003. Amanda was 17 years old and Nick was 24. They broke up sometime in 2004, but Amanda spoke highly of the relationship even after they had parted ways. In 2005, she spoke to CosmoGirl! about her relationships with Taran and Nick, saying: “I learned so much from both relationships. Both of them helped me to get to where I am today. The first one was there to sort of have a negative effect on me, and then my second one helped me get back to where I was."

In 2010, Amanda started tweeting about a new guy she was seeing (and “having withdrawals” from). Fans quickly put together that her new fella was rapper Kid Cudi. He’s also one of the many people that Amanda called ugly during a Twitter tirade. She’s since admitted that she was not sober during that time and even apologized for her actions in a recent video she posted to Instagram. Also in that video is her new fiance Paul — maybe he’s going to be a good influence!
