Kate Beckinsale comes from Britain and she's now 46 - this actress has captivating star power. Educated at The University of Oxford, she got her start in the film, Much Ado About Nothing, while she was still at Oxford. She has an effortless charm about her. Kate has said about her passion for acting, “I grew up immersed in film. My family were in the business. I quickly realised that my parents seemed to have much more fun in their work than any of my friends' parents."

Like many actors, Kate manages to keep her slate of acting jobs full, thanks to both her talents and her approachable nature. People want to work with her, cast her, and watch her.

While her acting chops have led viewers to believe in the chemistry between Beckinsale and her leading men, only a select few become her significant others. Despite being in the spotlight for nearly three decades, Beckinsale has remained picky about who she lets into her heart, with only a handful of gentleman suitors making the cut over the years.

Here are 10 celebrity men who have been linked to Kate Beckinsale, and 10 who aren’t good enough for her (both on and off-screen).

20 Linked: Michael Sheen

This relationship has stood the test of time, in one way or another. After they were cast in a play together in 1995, Sheen and Beckinsale began dating. In 1999, they welcomed their daughter, Lily. Despite breaking up in 2003, the pair remain great friends who have co-parented together every step of the way.

19 Not Good Enough: John Mayer

John Mayer’s player attitude has followed him everywhere he goes. He’s even sick of his reputation. Just the same, someone like Beckinsale would stay clear of the singer, just in case. Mayer has said: “Sometimes I feel like people need to update their internal Wikipedia on me… Come to 2018 (and beyond), where my No.1 girl is my therapist.”

18 Linked: Len Wiseman

Just like the Underworld franchise has been a big part of Beckinsale’s life, so have the people who worked with her on it. She began dating Underworld Director, Len Wiseman, in 2003. They wed in 2004 and were married for over 10 years, before finally separating in 2015.

People Magazine reported that a source close to the pair said, "They are still friendly and spend time together in LA when Kate is there. There has been no drama.”

17 Not Good Enough: Christian Bale

Christian Bale has an intensity that he brings to his Method acting, that most people would have trouble dealing with during a romantic relationship. While there is no doubt that he’s talented, we’re guessing that Beckinsale would have no time for his drama or notorious on and off-set tantrums.

16 Linked: Jack Whitehall

It seems, following her break-up with her long-term husband, that Kate wanted to have fun with some youthful men who would be good company. In November of 2018, she was spotted displaying some serious PDA with British comedian and actor, Jack Whitehall. According to E! News, “She runs in the same social circle as Jack and has always thought he was gorgeous and funny.”

The same source added, “Kate likes dating younger guys and having fun with it. She's very youthful and young at heart so it works for her. It's easy and less pressure dating someone young who isn't looking for a serious commitment."

15 Not Good Enough: Tobey Maguire

Since Kate Beckinsale likes to maintain long-term friendships with her exes, anyone who doesn’t fall into the nice guy territory isn’t worth dating. Word on the street (and rumors spread by casting agents) say Tobey is, “the worst little monster you’ve ever met.” He’s been rumored to order people not to look him in the eyes on the set and apparently has insisted that people call him Tugboat Tobey. Weird.

14 Linked: Pete Davidson

It wasn’t a long relationship, but Beckinsale clearly likes people who can make her laugh. This is probably why she was spotted leaving the 2019 Netflix Golden Globe party with SNL star, Pete Davidson. For several months, they were seen at hockey games and out and about, holding hands. They ended the relationship after about three months.

13 Not Good Enough: Leo DiCaprio

There have been numerous articles shaming Leo for dating only women 25 and younger. Since Kate is well above the age of 25, odds are she wouldn’t waste her time pursuing a relationship with someone who doesn’t appreciate the experience of an older, mature, and smoking hot woman.

12 Linked: Matt Rife

It was two years after her divorce from Wiseman before Beckinsale got back into the dating game. In June 2017, she began a relationship with comedian, Matt Rife, a good-looking funny man who is 22 years younger than the British babe.

A source told People Magazine, "She has been seeing Matt for the past few weeks. She really seems to like him. She refers to him as an old soul. There is obviously a physical attraction, too. The age difference doesn’t matter to her. Matt is amazing to her."

11 Not Good Enough: Jared Leto

Jared Leto is a lot of things, but funny just isn’t one of them. With all the comedians and actors (known for their nice guy personas) that she’s been connected with, Leto just wouldn’t be her cup of tea.

Whether his arrogance and pompous attitude is just an act or part of the whole pseudo-rock star thing, we just don’t see these two ever making a romantic (or even friendship) connection.
