The "Jumanji: The Next Level" star opened up about meeting Hashian, a singer and a music producer, back in 2006 when he was filming "The Game Plan." The couple started dating in 2007.
"Within 30 seconds, I thought, 'Wow, this girl's stunning,'" he recalled. "At the time, I was going through my breakup with Dany and [Hashian] was just coming off a big breakup, too."
He added, "Ironically, when you're not looking for something, the power of the universe kind of takes over."
