Jason Statham has an incredibly successful career and has become one of the world's most bankable stars. He has convincingly portrayed a host of unsavory yet oddly endearing tough guys like a hitman in high-profile action movie franchises, including The Transporter, Crank, The Expendables, and The Fast and the Furious. His dozens of films have crossed multiple billions of dollars at the worldwide box office, making Statham one of the high-speed actors and one of the most famous action stars in the entertainment industry.

Jason Statham has waited for love for 42 years. Who is the woman who stole his heart, once and for all? And did she reciprocate his feelings?

Jason fell in love for the first time at 42 with one of the world's most attractive women. She was 20 years younger than him, but she captivated him with intelligence and dedication.

So who is the mysterious lady, and was she worth waiting for so long? Her name is Rosie, she is a supermodel and an actress, so the two lovebirds have a lot in common.

Why Could Such a Heartthrob as Jason Not Find Love For Four Decades?

Statham is well-known for his toughness in movies. But in real life, he is a kind and vulnerable man. In his youth, he dated Kelly Brook for seven years. But that relationship ended in heartbreak. The couple decided to call it quits, and Kelly accused Jason of greed. She said, "he was skint when I was there, trust me."

Jason's next relationship wasn't long nor successful, but then, in one moment, he fell in love with the girl whom he had been waiting for his whole life.

When Did Their Secret Love Story Begin?

Since Jason and Rosie met each other at a festival, they have been inseparable. But was it easy for them to start dating? And why did their fans and followers highly criticize them?

Jason met Rosie when he was 42, and the supermodel was only 22. People everywhere didn't believe that such a couple will spend a lot of time together. Moreover, they couldn't imagine the two could have a baby and get married someday.

But Jason and Rosie have worked hard on their relationship, and now they are one of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood. The romantic love story between the 33-year-old model and the 53-year-old actor has lasted for almost ten years.

The couple beliefs it's the main secret of their idyllic union: it is far from the public's eyes because family is the most precious.

How Did They Get Attracted to Each Other?

Of course, Rosie was and is a gorgeous woman, so it's no wonder that Jason fell in love with her at first sight. Indeed, she wasn't so dedicated to Jason right away. Rosie was fascinated by his sense of humor after a small chat. Even though they started dating a day after they met, the couple has hidden their union for a long time. Jason and Rosie appeared together on a red carpet six months after they became a couple.

Forming a Family

Were they afraid of a negative reaction from the audience? Frankly, they didn't want to receive much attention in any way, whether a positive or a negative one. However, they couldn't avoid this, especially when everyone noticed Rosie's tiny belly after six years of their relationship. In 2017, the couple welcomed their baby son, Jack, but they keep him away from the camera flashes and paparazzi. Jason is a soft father. As proof of it, when his son wants a new toy, he comes to him.

The couple finds a balance: Rosie gives some limits, and Jason can spoil his kid slightly. He believes it's natural. The actor told Access, "I always feel that mothers do a better job at that than dads."

Jason and Rosie are happy to be together and raise their little son, but they also want a bigger family. The model admitted it on her social network recently when a fan asked her, "Do you and Jason wish for more children?", and she replied, "Yes, we would love to!"

Not Married Yet?

Jason hasn't married, although he is engaged to Victoria's Secret's former angel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. However, some rumors say they are secretly married. The couple started dating in 2011 and together had a son named Jack Oscar Statham.

The actor has a net worth of 90 million dollars. Jason's lifestyle is as lavish as anyone can imagine. He lives in a five-bedroom mansion together with his wife and his son. The Beverly Hills abode is worth around 13 million dollars and features eight parking spaces for his cars' collection. He said that most of his success comes from the fact that he never is satisfied with what he does and keeps his mind open to learning new skills.
