Jennifer met Noah Baumbach, an independent film writer and director in 2001. They started dating and got married in 2005. They have a son out of the marriage. In 2010, Jennifer filed for a divorce stating irreconcilable differences as the reason. She got spousal support and full custody of the child and the separation was finalized in 2013. Noah was given unlimited visitation to see his son. There are no details about their relationship after they got separated. They got separated just seven months after the birth of their son. She once dated Eric Stoltz and also had a romantic affair with Robert Downey Jr. her first notable boyfriend was Kevin Spacey. She also dated Steven Shainberg, David Dukes, and Jason Patric, before meeting her husband.
Soon after the separation, Noah was dating Greta Gerwig, actress. This brought a new whole concept of a secret girlfriend into the separation. Noah confirmed that he met Greta after their separation. When the separation was finalized, they were dating for a year. However, Noah met Greta in 2009 on the sets of ‘Greenberg’. The people on the set knew that this would become a closely linked relationship, soon. Soon after he got separated from his wife, he asked Greta to work with him on another project and they started sending emails constantly.
The information could be clearly only by Jennifer, who is very secretive, when it comes to her personal life. No one knew that she was pregnant until she gave birth to her son and the same is veracious about the separation too. Even the sources very close to her did not know that they had problems.
Though they stated the reason as irreconcilable differences, they seemed to agree about their works in the movies together, before they got separated. Noah filed his response on the separation from his wife, 7 months after she filed. Noah said that these papers would not be necessary and they would get back together. The response was just a formality as the judge thought that the case was dormant for too long. Noah had faith that he could continue his relationship with Jennifer, till the end. As a matter of fact, when they got married, Noah said that Jennifer is the one and the relationship would be forever.
However, the moment his separation was finalized, he jumped into a relationship. Jennifer is still single and is not noted with any man that could be tagged as her lover. She was not accused of having a secret relationship when she was married Noah. Noah was also not accused of cheating on Jennifer.
Jennifer did not comment on her dating life and whether or not, she is looking for a relationship. There are no details about Noah’s relationship with Katharine. There is no news about their separation too. Thus, it is assumed that Noah has started his smooth relationship while Jennifer has not yet jumped into the game.
