Minka Kelly and Chris Evans dated briefly in 2007 before calling off their romance and reuniting in 2012. During their time apart, Kelly dated New York Yankees icon Derek Jeter, while Evans was rumored to be linked to reality television star Kristin Cavallari. A source confirmed their reconciliation to Us Weekly that September, saying it was Kelly who reached out to Evans this time. “She did a number on him back then,” the source said, adding that Evans was still unsure about the romance. “He’s still a little insecure, so he’s being cautious.”
But some things are just not meant to be, and he and Kelly split for the second time in 2013 after several months of dating. An insider claimed that distance and differing work schedules were to blame for their breakup. At the time, Kelly was in Vancouver for filming of her Fox series “Almost Human,” while Evans was set to work on his film “Before We Go” (originally titled “1:30 Train”) in New York City. “It didn’t make sense for them to be together right now,” the source claimed, adding that it was a mutual decision and that Kelly and Evans “still care about each other.” Following their split, the “Friday Night Lights” star went on to hook up with Jake Gyllenhaal, with whom she also had a brief fling in 2012, per E! News. Meanwhile, Evans sparked dating rumors with his childhood crush, Sandra Bullock, after several public outings.
