Bilson and Christensen welcomed their daughter on Oct. 29, 2014, six years after meeting on the set of the 2008 film Jumper. Since then, Bilson and Christensen have split up — they ended their relationship in 2017 — but they’ve opened up about co-parenting and why they’ve been able to do it successfully.
Bilson and Christensen have also revealed a few of Briar’s interests — including Taylor Swift, cooking and wanting to be an actor like her parents. But at the same time, the O.C. star and Star Wars actor have been careful to protect their child’s privacy, including not posting photos of her face on social media.
Bilson has also shared that when it comes to dating, she won’t introduce her daughter to anyone unless it’s a “very serious relationship.” Still, she doesn’t hide the fact that being a parent is a key aspect of her life.
“She’s my world and I talk about her all the time anyways. How f----- up would it be if I hid that?” Bilson said on The Viall Files in 2019. “If you’re going to pursue something with someone, they have to be interested in the kid or be willing to be around the kid or babysit the kid … all the things.”
Here's everything to know about Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen's daughter, Briar Rose Christensen.
At the time, Bilson and Christensen had been together for around six years, though they did take a short break from their relationship at one point. The couple got engaged in late 2009, but broke up in the summer of 2010. Despite reconciling, the pair eventually split for good in 2017 after nearly 10 years together.
