Kerry Washington's Dating History: A Look At The 'Scandal' Actress's Men (PHOTOS)

Kerry Washington Dated The Kid From 'Big'

Kerry Washington: "Scandal" star, female lead across Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx in "Django Unchained," and one of People magazine's most beautiful people of 2013. Yet when it comes to her personal life, Washington is as much of a mystery as her character on the hit ABC series, where she plays crisis management leader Olivia Pope -- who also happens to be the love of the president of the United States' life.

Not a far stretch from reality, as it turns out. Washington's pretty tight-lipped when it comes to her personal drama (either Washington really hasn't dated anybody in the past five years, or she has a really, really good PR team).

So who has the 36-year-old beauty been romantically linked to? We did a little investigating and turned up the following on Washington's dating history:

(Moscow is also a Bronx, New York, native and is most known for his role as the younger Tom Hanks in the movie "Big.") "Turning 30 was a time when I thought, 'Wait a second. How much of my life really reflects who I am and who I want to be?' I've learned more about myself since leaving that relationship," she told the New York Post about their split.

CORRECTION: A source tells HuffPost Celebrity that Washington was not romantically linked to a businessman who was included in a previous version of this story.
