A post shared by Octavia Spencer (@octaviaspencer)

Olivia herself said that she didn’t have much time for dating. She even admitted that she only spent six weeks of the year at her house in Los Angeles since she was so busy working, and her movie offers appeared to never cease.

“It’s challenging to be in that mindset of the 60s and then go out into the real world and have fun. So I don’t. I isolate,” she revealed this to The New York Times.

She also stated that she is not currently looking for a love partner. If a man desired her, he had to approach her first.

No, of course not. It turns out that she had a few bad experiences in the past (yes, we’re back to the heartbreak and pain of the relationship). She said she was “dating the wrong people and trying to find love.”

But who is the man she refers to as “wrong people”? We’ll get to that soon enough. Olivia Spencer’s past relationships are detailed here.

25 Years of Knowing Tate Taylor: From Best Friends to Boyfriend?

Octavia keeps her personal life quite private. In her interview, she rarely mentions her relationship or discloses whether she is dating anyone. As a result, learning more about her is difficult.

But that doesn’t imply she never gets close to a man. According to rumors, Octavia had a love relationship with Ma and The Help director Tate Taylor. Octavia also appeared in both films, lending credence to the idea.

Tate Taylor and Octavia Spencer had a close relationship. According to some sources, they have been great friends since 1995. Is this the beginning of a love relationship?

Octavia’s decision to relocate to Los Angeles was influenced by Tate’s suggestion. Tate also pushed her to pursue a career in acting. Later, Octavia was cast in The Help, directed by Tate, and won an Oscar for her performance. It’s incredible!

Unfortunately, there is no spark of romance between them. Instead, theirs was the epitome of friendship: no drama, no sadness. Octavia disputed the report and maintained that she and Tate would remain best friends because they had “gone through so much together.”

They spent the majority of their time “having fun” as best friends while working together in Ma. Tate directed this psychological thriller. Tate commented that he has never understood how Octavia finds horror movies to be “relaxing.”

“Octavia’s favorite way to relax is to go home, get in her underwear in her bedroom, and doze in and out of murder TV for three days,” Tate revealed to Entertainment Weekly. Tate and Octavia were celebrating the 25th anniversary of their friendship at the moment. That also demonstrates Tate’s familiarity with Octavia Spencer.

Is Josh Hopkins Octavia Spencer’s Ex? She Going to the SAG Awards With Him

Josh Hopkins is also connected to Octavia Spencer. He is best known for playing the hot Liam O’Connor in the TV show Quantico.

The story started in 2012 when Octavia and Josh went to the SAG Awards as a “date.” They didn’t care if the cameras caught them and took pictures of them together. They seemed pretty happy to be together.

Josh and Octavia have known each other for a long time, it turned out. Even worse, they both went to the same college. She called Josh her “dear friend” in the same way that she called Tate her “dear friend.”

The real question is whether or not they are seeing each other. No, that’s the short answer. Josh and Octavia may have been the subject of many rumors, but they stayed very close friends.

Octavia playfully told E! News, “I decided to rob Cougar Town — I’m a cougar tonight, but Josh is my dear friend, so I’m not going to put my claws in him.”

Josh and Octavia didn’t seem to care about the story either. Not only does Octavia call him her dear friend, but Josh also cares very much about Octavia.

“To see your friend’s dreams come true, there’s nothing that can make you happier. I’ve seen the blood, sweat, and tears, so she deserves this night. Maybe the world is just discovering her, but she’s been a talent for a long time. So to see her explode in the public consciousness like this – them discover what I’ve known, her beauty and talent – is a good time.” Josh told the interviewer about it with a proud look on his face. Octavia was nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role at the SAG Awards.

So, their relationship isn’t real, and they’ve stayed good friends up to this point. Also, she wasn’t talking about Josh Hopkins when she talked about a bad thing that happened to her in the past.

When she said she was with the “wrong people,” a lot of people thought it was Josh. It also means that Octavia dated a man, who might not have been an actor or was less popular than she was, but she didn’t tell anyone about it.

Her Thoughts on Having a Baby

Octavia Spencer had kept her love life pretty quiet. So far as we know, she has not dated a single man during her employment.

She is a very private person, but she didn’t mind talking about what she thought about having kids. Still being single in her late 40s doesn’t worry or scare her. She even said that she is fine without kids.

Octavia proudly said to the Daily Mail:

I should be married and have 19 kids. And now, I’m thinking my eggs are dying on the shelf. They’re going to go past their expiration date. But, it’s what I chose. So I’m fine with that decision.

Octavia made the decision to forgo having children in the future on her own. But she also acknowledged that she would never become a mother, and she was perfectly fine with it.
