Hunt's Past Relationships
Even as she continues to spend time with Nordling, Hunt's dedication to her daughter's happiness is unwavering. She remains committed to co-parenting with her ex-boyfriend, Matthew Carnahan. The former couple, who dated from 2001 to 2017, have found a way to maintain a harmonious family dynamic, putting their daughter's well-being above all else.
Hunt was previously in a long-term relationship with Carnahan, which spanned 16 years before they parted ways. Together, they share a daughter named Makena'lei. An insider revealed, "Matthew has also been dating someone, so everyone seems to have moved on, and they're all happy…especially Makena."
After parting ways with Carnahan, Hunt dated Steven Tepper, professional photographer. For the most part, they kept their romance away from the spotlight, but their relationship eventually came to light in December 2020. On the other hand, Nordling, who was married to actress Francia Dimase, shares three daughters with his former spouse, as detailed in his IMDB biography.
