In 1995, Nathan Fillion began dating Vanessa Marcil. Just eight months into the relationship, Fillion asked Marcil to marry him — and she said “yes,” according to Hello! But the engagement had been called off by the fall of 1996, a year Marcil described as “the toughest year of my life” in a May 1997 interview with Soap Opera Digest. Her split from Fillion wasn’t the sole reason for it, but contributed to how she was feeling. “I lost two really close friends to drugs. Nathan and I broke up. That was really hard for me,” she said.
The romance didn’t end on bad terms, though. “We stayed very dear friends after we broke up,” she said. One of the reasons the relationship didn’t work was their busy schedules. In 1996, Marcil was shooting the film “To Love, Honor and Deceive” in North Carolina while still working on “General Hospital” in Los Angeles. “You really have no time for a social life when you’re doing this. Especially if someone lives that far away,” she said, as Fillion lived in New York while working on “One Life to Live.”
In 1999, Marcil moved on with her “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star Brian Austin Green. After getting engaged in 2001, Marcil and Green broke up in 2003, later igniting a messy custody battle over their son Kassius. Fillion also went on to become engaged again, though his didn’t end as dramatically as Marcil’s.
