Is 'The Boys' star Karl Urban single? The actor once married his makeup artist but parted ways after 10 years.
Karl-Heinz Urban, popular as ‘Billy Butcher’ from the series, The Boys, is a popular New Zealand actor. Though he began his acting career with appearances in New Zealand films and television series, Karl tasted success after his 2002 debut Hollywood film, Ghost Ship. Since then, Karl has starred in many Hollywood dream projects, including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Star Trek reboot series, Bourne Supremacy, Pete's Dragon, and many more.
Since 2019, Karl has gained recognition as ‘Billy Butcher’ in the series, The Boys. Not just his professional life, but his personal life too drew attention over the years. He has been in some high-profile relationships, and his personal life has always been at the centre of gossip. Let’s take a look at the women he dated.
Karl Urban’s most significant relationship was with his wife, Natalie Wihongi. The two met when Wihongi worked as his makeup artist in the 2000 TV movie, The Privateers. After dating for four years, the two married in 2004 and began their married life. The couple was blessed with two sons, Hunter Urban and Indy Urban.
The two were married for ten years before calling it quits in 2014. Despite parting ways, Karl and Wihongi gracefully handled their divorce, keeping their children's well-being in mind. Both Karl and Wihongi focused on their commitment to co-parent their children, without letting their divorce negatively impact their kids.
After parting ways with his wife, Natalie Wihongi, Karl went on to date Natalie Dennis. Not much is known about their relationship as they kept it low-key. The duo didn’t flaunt their relationship and kept it private. However, it was short-lived, and they soon parted ways.
Karl Urban’s relationship with actress, Katee Sackhoff was one of the most talked-about relationships. The duo began dating in 2014 and was open about their love for each other. Their relationship was not limited to page 3; it held much more meaning for both of them. Do you know Karl and Katee met on a plane? Yes, the duo met when their flight was delayed during a sci-fi convention.
He brought her to his native New Zealand in early 2015, and their relationship was confirmed. In the same year, he met her parents in Portland, Oregon, and the couple was mostly seen spending quality time together. They were spotted fishing, taking long walks and even hung out with their kids.
Despite being madly in love with one another, Karl and Sackhoff parted ways in 2018 and in 2019, he went public about their breakup. In response to an article about his hit series, The Boys, Karl corrected a blog post about him and Sackhoff with a tweet in August 2019. His tweet can be read as:
“One small inaccuracy... @kateesackhoff and I are no longer together and have not been for over a year. Katee is a phenomenal woman, a compassionate humanitarian & a brilliant actor. I love and respect her."
After Karl Urban’s high-profile relationship with Katee Sackhoff ended in 2018, the actor was not reported to be romantically involved with anyone. Though there have been reports that he is in a relationship, details about his ladylove remain a mystery to the public eye. The actor is said to be keeping his personal life out of the media glare, unlike previously, when he discussed it openly. Despite the curiosity around his relationship, Karl has kept his personal life out of the public eye.
