Does Jason Segel Have a Wife? The Actor’s Love Life Is Not as Smooth as Marshall Eriksen’s

Many people wonder about Jason Segel’s personal life – whether he is dating or already married. The actor earned a reputation for dating several women in the entertainment industry.

Jason Segel is an actor and comedian best known for playing the shy lawyer Marshall Eriksen on the critically-acclaimed series “How I Met Your Mother” opposite his on-screen wife, Lily Aldrin, played by actress Alyson Hannigan.

In contrast to the successful married life that Segel and Hannigan’s characters led on-screen, the comedian’s actual romantic life appears to be the total opposite.

Who Has Jason Segel Dated in the Past?

Since the turn of the millennium, Segel has been romantically involved with various famous women, ranging from his co-stars to up-and-coming actresses and A-list celebrities.

Segel began dating his “Freaks and Geeks” co-star Lina Cardellini in 2001 until they split in 2007, after six years of relationship. It was reported that their breakup was inspired by the movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”

In 2009, he dated actress Michelle Trachtenberg, but the relationship was brief. In the same year, Segel reportedly dated four other actresses: Chloë Sevigny, Michelle Ryan, Lindsay Lohan, and Drew Barrymore.

Even though both Sevigny and Ryan dated Segel briefly in separate months, Segel never admitted or denied dating Lohan. Meanwhile, the rumored romance between him and Barrymore remains a rumor.

Several years later, in February 2012, Segel began dating actress Michell Williams after meeting at a party hosted by actress Busy Philipps. However, Williams and the dashing actor called it quits after a year of dating.

Williams reportedly split up with him because she was “not ready” to commit to their relationship. She expressed a positive outlook regarding their time together, even though their relationship was short.

Segel met and dated actress Bojana Novakovic in May 2013, but their relationship did not last, and they separated in 2014. According to a source, the actor was looking for a “more stable and serious” relationship.

While he has yet to find a new woman, Segel has had another career success.

Is Jason Segel Married? Who Is His Latest Girlfriend Alexis Mixter?

Segel is presently single after his breakup with Alexis Mixter, his girlfriend for eight years. Mixter is a photographer and artist who met the comedian in 2014, and they debuted as a couple in 2016 at actor Sean Penn’s fundraising event.

The two shared an endearing relationship. In October 2018, they were spotted in New York cuddling and smiling as they strolled together in public.

Amid the pandemic in May 2020, Segel was seen in Los Angeles, dropping off food for Mixter one weekend. At the time, the exes spent their isolation away from each other.

The couple split in April 2021. Mixter announced their separation in an Instagram post that has since been deleted, with a message accompanied by a photo of the artist describing them as “two best friends.” She said:

“This post is a tribute to love and friendship and those relationships that make life worth living. Thank you J for being my best friend.”

Mixter appears to have moved on from her breakup with Segel and is now in a new relationship. The talented artist has been happily married to her husband, comedian Joshua Dean, since May 2022.

Is Jason Segel Open to a New Love?

Segel was recently seen laughing and engaging in conversations with several women while he hung out at a local coffee shop in Ojai, California. The actor reportedly relocated to Ojai in April 2022.

The area is well-known for its tourist sites, local market, and flourishing art scene. It’s unclear if Segel is open to a new relationship now, but the actor appears to be doing well in Ojai.

While he has yet to find a new woman, Segel has had another career success. The comedian will play a therapist going through a difficult time in the upcoming comedy series “Shrinking,” which also stars actor Harrison Ford.
