Before meeting each other, the couple had broken off from their respective relationships.
Goodwin was engaged to actor Joey Kern for nearly six months. They had been set up by a mutual friend and had dated each other for two years.
The ex-couple even planned to get married. But, Goodwin walked away from their relationship in May 2011, months before their wedding that was scheduled for the fall that year.
Before falling in love with Kern, the actress dated fellow actor Chris Klein for a couple of years.
Likewise, Dallas had also freshly separated from English actress Lara Pulver, his wife, for four years. They had met in London while performing a play called The Boy Friend in 2003.

Dallas and Pulver had met in London while performing a play called The Boy Friend in 2003.
Their wedding took place in 2007. Following this, the actor relocated to Los Angeles with his then-wife in 2009.
After their marriage failed, Dallas crossed paths with his current spouse. And they started as friends, or so they claimed during the early phase of their relationship.
While socializing together in Canada, the closeness between the pair grew, and they eventually started dating.
