JAMES FRANCO'S FIRST SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WAS WITH HIS CO-STAR

One of Franco's high-profile relationships was with Marla Sokoloff, his first serious girlfriend whom he met on the set of "Whatever It Takes" in 2000. The pair lived together for a while until they called it quits in 2004.

Years later, while both had moved on in life, an intimate private video of them was leaked online. Franco described the footage as "innocent," which they made without knowing it would get leaked.

JAMES FRANCO AND AHNA O'REILLY WERE DATING FOR 5 YEARS

In 2006, Franco started dating Ahna O'Reilly, and they lived together in Los Angeles. With a shared career in acting, the former couple was able to share projects.

O'Reilly is known for appearing in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "The Help," and “Fruitvale Station," among others.

Unfortunately, their romance ended after five years in 2011 due to misaligned priorities. According to Franco, his commitment to his education became a hindrance. Franco had his education at Yale University, Warren Wilson College, Columbia University, and Brooklyn College.

Although his past relationships did not work out, Franco is in a happier place with his new relationship. Currently, Franco's girlfriend is Isabel Pakzad, whom he started dating in 2017. In 2018, sexual misconduct allegations were made against the actor that could affect their romance.

Franco reportedly reacted when female students did not participate in topless scenes during a film shoot. Another person came forward alleging that Franco forced her to take part in intimate actions.

Despite the allegations, Pakzad chose to stay with her man. The pair tried to keep their romance private, and they have started attending public events.
