It took a long time for Maria Bello from NCIS to understand her sexuality. She dated a screenwriter, Dan McDermott, and gave birth to their son, Jackson. But after their breakup she decided to try to play for the other team.

She said:

We’re pretty happy, considering that we just got engaged. So this is sort of our fun time out in Hollywood for the first time. It was very surprising and meant to be, but about time. I’ve finally grown up enough to get married.

Maria Bello’s relationship history

Maria Bello has had quite a complicated relationship history, dating men and women. Besides the father of her child, she was involved with:

her close friend Claire Munn - the first woman she officially dated;
a director, Elijah Allan-Blitz, who was 19 years younger than her.

Bello’s love story with Allan-Blitz ended quickly but then she fell madly in love with a woman again - Dominique Crenn. Judging by how lovingly Bello and Crenn gaze at each other, we can tell that this relationship will surely stick. It will be the 52-year-old actress’ first marriage - perhaps because she was waiting for the right person to come! Congratulations, ladies!
