Following her reported breakup with Bill Hader, Anna Kendrick is washing that man right out of her hair from aboard a luxury yacht.
To get over the split from her boyfriend of a little over a year, the actor spent “last week on vacation on a yacht” and “was away without” him, according to a source who spoke to People. They added, “She was with a group of friends. They all had a great time.” News of this trip comes shortly after Entertainment Weekly reported on Tuesday that she and Hader had decided to go their separate ways.
The public first learned of Hader and Kendrick's relationship in January of this year, when another insider confirmed to People that the pair had been “quietly” seeing each other for over a year but noted that they hadn't started dating until “well after” they finished wrapping the 2019 Christmas movie Noelle, in which they play siblings. “They are both very private people, and with the pandemic it was easy to keep it quiet,” they said. “They're both hysterical, so they must keep each other laughing all of the time. She's really, really happy.”
In April, Hader told The Hollywood Reporter that he didn't want to discuss his private life or relationship with Anna Kendrick out of respect for his children. The SNL star was previously married to director Maggie Carey, with whom he shares three young daughters, before divorcing in 2018. “They just want me to be their dad,” he explained of his reticence to offer up personal details. “They just want me to sit and watch Encanto over and over and over again. So that’s what I do.”
Hader's relationship prior to this one with actor Rachel Bilson also made headlines this month, when she revealed on her podcast that going through that breakup in July 2020 was one of the toughest moments of her life. While she didn't mention her ex by name, Bilson told guest Mandy Moore on an episode of her show Broad Ideas that she “went through a really hard breakup and it was during the pandemic.” She added, “I could not leave my house, you know what I mean? I had nothing else to do but sit in it, and deal with it and feel it. It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done, harder than childbirth.” Bilson went on to say that the end of that relationship “hurt like a motherfucker” but also made her realize that “if you actually face it, you can come out of it and be like, ‘Okay, I did that and I'm ready for the next thing.’” And if you get to have that realization while aboard a yacht surrounded by your best girlfriends, all the better.
