Morgan Brown Has Been Dating Gerard Butler on and off since 2014 – All We Know About Her

Gerard Butler's dating history is packed with beautiful women, notably one tall brunette, Morgan Brown, with whom he's had an on-and-off relationship.

Gerard Butler and Morgan Brown fell into a pattern over their eight-year on-again-off-again relationship. They get together, go on vacations, break up, and repeat. They can learn a lot from their friends, Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who have been together for a decade.

The former model lives the life most HGTV presenters strive to have. After a long day of flipping houses, she comes home to a handsome Hollywood boyfriend.

Who Is Morgan Brown?

Morgan was born in 1971 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to model Karen Dempsey and entertainer turned property developer Harry Joe 'Coco' Brown Jr. She was a teen model from age 14 but quit the industry by the time she turned 20.

The Oklahoma City native followed Coco, who had an illustrious, if controversial career, into real estate. She became a house flipper in her twenties and used the experience to become a property developer and interior designer.

The former model has a teenage son but keeps all other identifying details about him private. Per HITC, her granddad is Harry Joe Brown Sr., a producer with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, who produced a slew of successful Westerns in the 1960s.

The details of how Butler and Morgan met are unknown, though it's plausible that they moved in the same circles with her family's long history in Hollywood. They were first photographed together in September 2014 in Malibu, California.

Around the time of their first beach date, the Scottish actor told The Mail on Sunday that he has met a lot of princesses, just not the one for him yet. The couple split on November 2016; in the months prior, they were photographed on a yacht in Capri, Italy.

They hang out with Camila Alves and her husband, Matthew McCaughey, at the Duran Duran gig in Miami on December 9, 2017. And jumped out of their seats cheering during the "US Open" men's final between Novak Djokovic and Juan Martín del Potro in 2018.

PDA on the Red Carpet

The couple made their red carpet debut with Butler's action film, "Den of Thieves," on January 17, 2018, in Los Angeles. The former model looked right at home in front of the cameras in a sleek white sun dress.

The star, who once told PEOPLE that he does not have a personal life, is linked to supermodel Naomi Campbell.

They got cozy and stared into each other eyes at the world premiere of "Hunter Killer" on October 22, 2018, in New York City. The couple shared belly laughs and kisses a year later as the actor gleefully dipped his girlfriend at the August 2019 premiere of "Angel Has Fallen."

Hollywood Life and The Daily Mail reported that the couple rekindled in October 2021 in Puerto Rico while Gerard was filming "The Plane" opposite Mike Colter and Daniella Pineda. The lovers were still smiling a few months on, in coordinated tan jackets on the streets of NYC.

The loved-up duo turned an outing to a Malibu grocery store into a parking lot dance party on July 1, 2022, looking so happy no one could fault the actor's two left feet. The eternally traveling couple returned to Italy for a cheeky break in Florence in the fall of 2022.

In October 2017, he revealed that children and a relationship were in his five-year plan, citing his hectic schedule for not achieving this goal yet. To date, he has only adopted a fur baby named Shushka, a stray dog he found while filming in Bulgaria.

Gerard Butler has a heart for children and has been involved with "Mary's Meals" since 2010. On a trip to Liberia, he saw the charity's good work in practice. In 2021 he matched the proceeds of a fundraiser in aid of Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
