Martha Plimpton Has Had a Fascinating Dating Life Which Included River Phoenix

Martha's rise to stardom was not without some fascinating glimpses into her dating life. Her last known relationships were with the late actor River Phoenix, comedian-actor Fred Armisen, and a man named Tom.

The actress's happiness now revolves around her independence.

Martha and River, who dated from 1986 to 1989, were renowned as one of the most captivating and "coolest" couples, earning a reputation for their striking presence at the 1989 Academy Awards.

She and River starred in the movies "The Mosquito Coast" and "Running on Empty." The actress recalled positive memories from those movies, stating that she enjoyed working with "really cool people."

However, since River's tragic death in 1993, she has not publicly discussed him. She said one primary reason was that if she were to talk about it, people would focus solely on that, overshadowing everything else she said.

She emphasized that she has a "rich and full life" and does not need to repeat herself or defend her past feelings. She chooses to let the matter rest. Martha and Fred reportedly dated, although their dating timeline was uncertain.

Nonetheless, their presence at a few public events in March 2006 hinted at their connection. Fred and Martha were notably seen together at events such as the "Saturday Night Live" after party and the preview screening of the second season of the "Huff" series, all of which occurred in New York City.

Later, it became evident that Fred and Martha were no longer an item, as Martha was spotted with a new man named Tom. Martha and Tom attended a Broadway show in March 2009.

Additionally, Tom accompanied the actress to the 67th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in June 2013. He seems to be Martha's last-known boyfriend, as she has maintained a low profile since.
