David and Jennifer enjoyed ten years as lovers. Their relationship started during their high school days when Jennifer was 15, and her boyfriend, 16.

The pair stopped being lovers when the actress's career picked up, though they attended a few functions together and were seemingly the best couple during their hay days.
