Benjamin Bratt was one of the H๏τtest and hunkiest actors in Hollywood when he became famous on Law & Order.

The star also dated the biggest movie icon of the day, Julia Roberts.

When Julia won an Oscar in 2000 for her drama Erin Brockovich, Bratt was right by her side. She even acknowledged him in her acceptance speech and they kissed on the red carpet.

But they broke up the next year after three years together.  

He then wed Talisa Soto in 2002 just one year after leaving Roberts. Soto was a top model in the 1990s, working for Vogue and Versace. The Brooklyn native also ventured into movies, playing a Bond girl in 1989’s Licence To Kill. Later she was seen in 1995’s Mortal Kombat and 2002’s Ballistic. Together they have two children: Mateo Bravery and Sophia Rosalinda. 

Bratt is still as handsome as ever but now he is a silver fox. On Wednesday Bratt was seen heading into Good Morning America to chat up his role on season two of the Star Wars spinoff Andor.

Bratt and Soto are rarely seen together. The two stay out of the Hollywood limelight as they live in San Francisco, where he grew up.

Bratt is still very active in Hollywood, however, as he appeared on the TV series Modern Family and Star.

In 2008 Benjamin told Latina magazine that Talisa is ‘heart and soul personified.’

He also said, ‘She makes me a better man. That sounds like a line from a movie. It is, right? No, it’s hard not to speak in clichés about her, really, because so much has been made of my wife’s outer beauty — and she is otherworldly beautiful — but as I’ve come to know her, her heart and who she is as a person is even more beautiful.’

The hunk added: ‘What I dig about her is that she loves me. Even though she knows everything about me, she accepts me anyway, which is a pretty calming influence to have in your life and a great deal of support.’

Bratt  rose to fame in the 1990s. 

He’s best known for his role as Detective Reynaldo Curtis on the NBC drama Law & Order from 1995 to 1999, earning an Emmy nomination for his performance. 

Bratt has also appeared in films such as Miss Congeniality (2000), Traffic (2000), Despicable Me 2 (2013), Blood in Blood Out, and Piñero. 

In 2017, he voiced Ernesto de la Cruz in the Oscar-winning Disney-Pixar movie Coco.

While on GMA on Wednesday, he shared a behind-the-scenes look at Season 2 of Andor on Disney+. 

Andor is the story of Rebel spy Cᴀssian Andor’s formative years of the Rebellion and his difficult missions for the cause.

Meanwhile, last year Roberts has shared a rare snap of her cuddling her husband to mark his 55th birthday.

The Pretty Woman actress, who is renowned for keeping her relationship with cinematographer Danny Moder out of the spotlight, posted the image on her Instagram to mark his big day.

She captioned the snap, which showed Julia in Danny’s arms as she looked up adoringly at him while grinning: ‘Happy Birthday to this amazing man who lights up our world.’

Even though Julia is relatively private about her life with Danny, she told the ‘Today’ show about him at the end of last year: ‘It all starts with Danny Moder, you know?

‘He’s just really our anchor and our person. And in the most beautiful way, [he’s] the captain of our ship. Truly.’

But Julia, who has 19-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and 16-year-old son Henry with her husband, joked he should not receive all the credit for creating their blissful family life.

She added: ‘(I’m) not, like, giving it all away. It’s just that for me, understanding how deeply felt life could be really started with him.’

The couple met in 2000 while working together on the film ‘The Mexican’, which saw Julia star alongside Brad Pitt, 60.

At the time, the actress was dating actor Bratt, while Danny was married to make-up artist Vera Steimberg, 51.

After both their relationships ended, the pair got hitched in July 2002.

Julia also broke her habit of keeping her family life private to mark their 21st wedding anniversary by posting an emotional tribute to Danny on social media in 2023.

And in 2022, she marked their 20th year as a married couple by posting a snap of them kissing, which she captioned: ‘TWENTY #can’tstopsmiling#can’tstopkissing.’

Danny also marked the anniversary by writing on social media alongside a pH๏τo of him and Julia: ‘Today we start our 20th year of marriage. This pH๏τo was on a dusty road before that big idea… just holding on to this beautiful girl one day at a time. One epic day at a time.’
