Reflecting on her relationship with Nordling, Hunt revealed last year that they had previously dated in 1988 before their paths crossed again. “We dated in 1988!” she disclosed during a June 2025 interview with Flow Space. “I’ve never really talked about that. And I always thought he was lovely and sweet and talented and dreamy.” She noted that they both had very different lives for decades but serendipitously found each other once more.
