Wintour has been married for much of her life, but she has also sparked relationship rumors in the few years she has been single.

One of those speculated romances was with British actor Bill Nighy after the duo was seen hanging out on several occasions and then attending the Met Gala together last year, according to Hollywood Life. However, Wintour’s rep later confirmed to People that they “are not a couple.”

Wintour later debunked these rumors during an appearance on The Late Show with James Corden. “I’m really glad you asked me that. Fake news. I never met Bob Marley. I’m sorry to disappoint you,” she said.
