Selma Blair has always been candid about the highs and lows of her life. From her rise to fame in Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde, and Hellboy to her personal struggles with multiple sclerosis (MS), she has remained open about her experiences. Fans have followed her journey through Hollywood, motherhood, and advocacy, but one question that often comes up is about her love life.
While Blair has had her share of high-profile relationships, she has also faced challenges in love. After years of personal growth and healing, she has recently found herself in a new chapter—one filled with hope and a fresh start. Here’s a look at her romantic history, from her past relationships to the man who has recently captured her heart.
Who is Selma Blair’s Husband?
Selma Blair was previously married to writer and producer Ahmet Zappa. The couple tied the knot on January 24, 2004, in an intimate ceremony at Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher’s Beverly Hills mansion. They moved into a charming 1920s-era home in Los Angeles, which they purchased for $1.35 million.
However, their marriage didn’t last. Just two years later, in June 2006, Blair filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” By December of that year, their divorce was finalized, officially ending their brief union.
Since then, Blair has never remarried. She has been open about her decision to remain unmarried, stating that with her responsibilities as a mother and her health priorities, marriage simply isn’t a focus. “That’s why I would never want to get married. It’s a major setup to fail,” she admitted in an interview.
Her Past Relationships and Romantic Struggles
Following her divorce, Blair was linked to several well-known figures in the entertainment industry. She briefly dated actors Jason Schwartzman and David Lyons before entering a more public romance with her Kath & Kim co-star Mikey Day, which lasted from 2008 to 2010.
In 2010, she began dating fashion designer Jason Bleick. Their relationship became even more significant when they welcomed their son, Arthur Saint Bleick, in July 2011. However, the pressures of parenthood and personal differences led to their separation in September 2012.
Blair’s most difficult relationship came later, with filmmaker Ron Carlson. The two had an on-and-off romance starting in 2017, but in 2022, things took a dark turn. Both Blair and Carlson filed restraining orders against each other, citing claims of physical abuse. Though the legal battle was dropped in September 2022, the relationship left Blair with emotional scars.
Reflecting on this painful chapter, she admitted, “I didn’t realize how emotionally abusive and controlling they were, taking advantage of meeting me in a really vulnerable time. When you’re in a rough spot, you can meet some opportunistic people. It’s really dangerous.”
Her Current Relationship Status
After years of heartbreak and self-reflection, Blair has re-entered the dating scene—and this time, she has found someone who makes her feel hopeful again.
Meeting Andy Kiernan: A Fresh Start
In July 2024, Blair was spotted at LAX airport with businessman Andy Kiernan, the co-founder of The Kiernan Group. The sighting confirmed what many had been speculating—Blair was in a new relationship. She later shared details about their romance in an interview, revealing that they met at a friend’s birthday dinner and instantly connected.
“He’s not in this business, although he has produced before,” Blair explained, emphasizing her preference for someone outside of Hollywood. “I wanted a Midwest man, and I found a real Midwest man.”
Keeping Things Private
Despite being in the public eye for decades, Blair has chosen to keep her relationship with Kiernan relatively private. She admitted that she was hesitant to go public, stating, “Nobody wants to be exposed to scrutiny. But yes, it’s possible to find love at 52. And beyond!”
However, she has dropped a few hints about her affection for Kiernan on social media. In February 2023, before their relationship became public, she left a playful comment on one of his Instagram selfies, writing, “I happen to have fallen for you madly.”
Why She’s Not Rushing into Marriage
Although Blair is happy in her new relationship, she has no plans to walk down the aisle again. With her responsibilities as a mother, her career, and her health challenges, she knows that maintaining a relationship takes effort—and she isn’t looking to add the pressures of marriage to the equation.
“Fitting anything in as a mother wanting to build a career and figure out when you’re going to get your blood treatments in—a boyfriend falls by the wayside really easily,” she admitted.
For now, Blair is simply enjoying where she is. After years of personal battles, she has found someone who makes her feel valued, and that’s more than enough.
