True Blood's Secret Love Triangle
It was love at first, um, bite for Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer after the British hunk aced his True Blood audition opposite the Oscar winner in early 2007, but they kept their instant attraction a secret from everyone, including his girlfriend of seven years — the mother of his young daughter, Lilac.
That September, Stephen told a British newspaper that his move from London to L.A. for the series had resulted in the end of his relationship with British journalist Lorien Haynes, saying: "Nobody has left anybody for anybody else." But those words ring hollow now that Stephen and Anna — who now live together — have admitted that sparks flew the moment they first met!
"We tried to stay professional for as long as we could," says Anna. "But it was unstoppable!”
Stephen's ex had never before spoken publicly about their breakup, but comments to Star about the situation in our July 20 issue — on sale today. And a friend of the actor weighs in on his friend's decision to leave Lorien.
“You can understand why he grabbed the opportunity to go to L.A. for True Blood and reach for a new level of stardom,” says the friend. "But Lorien is beautiful, brilliant and the mother of his daughter. Ending their relationship after seven years was a high price for Stephen to pay ÿ even if he and Anna seem happy together.”
For the full story -- including Lorien's comment on her ex's very public new romance -- pick up the new Star today.

If you look back in June 2001 Lorien Haynes wrote an article (Elle Magazine) about the then new UK show "Men Only" and interviewed Moyer. One of his comments was that doing a gang rape scene and then having to go home to your girlfriend and she asks you how was your day, what can you say? So the question is when did Stephen and Lorien hook up and did she breakup an existing relationship he was in in 2001?

I wiped this story three days ago. It is a misleading pile of convoluted truths, half truths, and complete lies. Nice work, Star. Really outdid yourselves on this one.

Stephen and Lorien had broken up in 2006 due to his frequent absences from the country. This is libel, and harmful to the children involved.

oddly, first episode of True Blood.. when Tara comes home to find her mother on the couch and tabloids on the coffee table. One screams headlines that "Angelina adopts vampire baby" and the other is of Anna Paquin hugging Stephen Moyer from behind with the caption: "Can True Love Survive in Hollywood".

I agree with Missie, you can't help who you fall in love with and you only live once. The series of events these past few weeks are a prime example of that. Life is too short to be wasting your time with someone that you are not in love with or who is not your soulmate.
