We'd like you to take a look at Alexander Skarsgard … Just look at him … Isn’t he
gorgeous? So what we're about to tell you is going to shock you, but this man,
this handsome Swedish hunk of a man, is single. Yes, we know it's totally crazy! Naturally,
we did a little digging to find the answer to the most important question that's on everybody's mind
right now … Why is Alexander single? Is it maybe because he's a little bit of a commitment-phobe?
Because looking at his track record, everything seemed to be going well, until it wasn't.

"I'm not married and I don't have kids, and I'm really enjoying it at the moment,"
That's a pretty strange thing to say for someone who wants to have nine kids. Yep,
that's right. The True Blood actor has admitted to wanting nine children one day.
However, at the same time he's also confessed to being happy living life out of a suitcase
because it makes travelling for work easier.
So what does he really want exactly? Does he want the white picket fence life with nine kids,
or does he want to live his life out of a suitcase forever?
Perhaps that's why his other relationships haven't worked out, because Alexander
doesn't know what he wants, and at the same time, he gives all these mixed messages.
Despite having had numerous failed relationships, the actor is still a romantic.
"I'm not going to settle and say, 'Oh,
you're all right - let's make a family.' I'm more romantic than that," he admitted.
So who are the lucky ladies who have dated the ever so charming Swedish actor? We have
the answers to all of your questions, so hold onto your horses. We're getting to all that now.
A lot of his past romances seemed to be mostly short and fleeting, and because the actor chooses
to be secretive about his love life - like any handsome Hollywood hunk would do - we're going
to rely on our very helpful little birdies to tell us all the nitty-gritties that we need to
know about Alexander's love life. Who doesn't like a little mystery added to the mix, right?
After working together on True Blood, Evan Rachel Wood and Skarsgard dated for about two years.
If you're not familiar with the actor's role, Eric Northman, then we highly suggest that
you get familiar with it. Somehow the gothic look and vampire fangs suit Alexander so well,
it's hard not to imagine him as a Vampire in real life. We'd also like to add that he
takes his shirt off in True Blood several times. Rachel all but confirmed the pair dated in 2010,
letting slip she did in fact date one of the cast members — confirming the rumors.
There was a woman that Alexander was reportedly close to proposing to, but she left him before
he even got the chance. He dated Kate Bosworth for around two years after he split with Wood.
Bosworth and Skarsgard were undeniably hot together; they were one of those Hollywood
couples that make the whole world stop when they arrive on the red carpet because it seems
impossible to think that two people could be so good-looking and be a couple at the same time.
But sadly, just like the rest of his previous relationships, it was short-lived.
In fact, it was Kate that called it off with the actor and also very quickly moved on with
her now-husband Michael Polish. It was never made clear why the actress and Skarsgard called quits,
but perhaps it was because he didn't pop the questions soon enough?
The actor's non-committal attitude in combination with enjoying living out of a suitcase gave Kate
the idea that the relationship wasn't going to move forward? It's a shame … we can only imagine
the disappointment Alexander must have felt having to cancel his proposal plans. Let's hope
he hadn't already bought a ring, because that would just make this even more heartbreaking.
"I make it a rule not to talk about myself and Kate. I so desperately try
to keep my private life out of the tabloids because becoming a celebrity rather than an
actor can really get in the way of a good performance." he said about his ex Bosworth.
Skarsgard and Katie Holmes were rumored to have dated in 2014.
The two actors played husband and wife in the film The Giver, and it was speculated their
on-screen romance, and fiery chemistry had to have transferred off-screen too. However,
they both shut down the rumors. But just because they denied it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The actor was also rumored to have dated Margot Robbie,
Amanda Seyfried , Elizabeth Olsen and even Charlize Theron. So, while they've all been
rumors, we like to think that when there's smoke, there's fire … if you get our drift.
One of his longest on-and-off relationships is that with Alexa Chung. She's a writer, producer,
model and a list of quite a few other things, so she's quite a catch, to say the least. The
pair was first spotted way back in 2015, and it's been a pretty bumpy ride since then.
But, it's not surprising that Skarsgard is not the kind of guy to give an ex-girlfriend
the cold shoulder after a breakup, "I was with a girl for a couple of years
and it ended up not working out, but we're still close friends."
However, while the couple was dating, even after they had
been spotted together holding hands and canoodling like all romantic couples do,
the actor would never confirm their relationship in interviews. Neither did Chung. She even
admitted, "I don't like being told what to do. And I don't want to be penned in. I don't want to feel
I have to be anywhere ... I am quite restless. It makes me a nightmare to date, I think,"
Perhaps it was this fear of commitment that led to the pair's first bump in the road after
two years of dating. "No one cheated on anyone. It was a clean breakup that was caused by busy
schedules and distance. They really did love each other and were pretty serious. They still have
respect for each other," a source said about their split, buuuuut some people weren't so convinced.
Since their breakup, they have been spotted together several times over the past few years,
and maybe they are "still friends," but somehow fans feel otherwise. "Alexa and her other exes
have hung out after they break up and Alexander is no exception. They still text each other all
the time and met up when they were in the same city." A close friend of the couple revealed. The
question is, can you really be friends with an ex? Like real friends? What do you think about that?
In an interview during one of the couple's off moments,
Chung said that she wants to get married and have kids and she can't "float around forever."
Could it be a hint as to why the couple hasn't been able to make it work and stay together?
Could Skarsgard's lack of effort to unpack his suitcase and settle down in one place
be the reason that his past relationships have seemed to fade out? We'll leave that for you to
decide. However, in the actor's defense, he is a really busy guy. In fact he comes from
a famous family who are all involved in the film industry and are all very busy actors.
Alexander, Bill, Gustaf, and Valter have all been making their strides
in the entertainment industry. Although Alexander and Bill are perhaps the most
well-known outside of Sweden — after their father, Stellan Skarsgard,
of course — it's highly likely you've spotted all four brothers in one thing or another.
The famous and talented family is well on its way to taking over Hollywood.
Right now, it seems like Alexander is in work mode, and maybe he isn't ready to settle down yet.
Perhaps it's been tough for him to balance the need for a family and kids and work on his career
at the same time. That sounds like it would be a difficult thing to juggle for everyone.
So maybe the actor and Chung have put things on hold while he focuses on his career,
and maybe they'll get back together once he's done with living out of his suitcase. Who knows?
For now, Alexander is keeping his private life private, and that doesn't seem to be
something that will change. His father who was always in the public eye taught
the actor how to approach the media and keep his love life away from prying eyes.
"Yeah, I don't talk about it much, and that's a way to protect it. The fact that he protected
his private life so much and protected my mum who is not an actor or a public
figure," He said when speaking about how his dad influenced his way of treating the media.
So we'll do what we do best and rely on our little birdies to give us all the juicy information.
Whenever anything changes with Skarsgard's relationship status,
we'll make sure that you'll be the first to know about it, from us, of course. Let us know what
you think about the actor's relationship track record. Do you think he's a commitment-phobe
or do you think he's putting his work first so that he can be a husband and father later?
