Cook said in a 2021 interview that, despite her string of box office hits around the turn of the millennium, she never saw herself as being in contention with some of the other big young actresses of the time. 'I never saw myself as shiny and pretty in the way that someone like Jessica Alba or Jennifer Love Hewitt were then,' she told The Independent.

Brandon kept it stylish casual in a black button-up, as well as a pair of black jeans and comfy sneakers. While it is not known when the couple first sparked up a romance, in February they were pictured stopping by the restaurant HomeGrown in Des Moines, Iowa. The eatery shared a snap of the two actors on its Instagram page as they posed with a couple of staff members. The caption read: 'It's a bird… it's a plane… it's Brandon Routh!

But I wouldn't say no.' As to whether she wants to expand her family in the future, the actress admittedshe isn't certain. 'I gotta watch out for my own spontaneous side, and I gotta make that decision with eyes wide open,' she said Rachael continued, 'And my boyfriend has to realize how totally insane kids can be, I think, in person a little bit more before we can think about making that step.' Brandon was previously married to the actress Courtney Ford, but she filed for divorce in January after 17 years of marriage. The Dexter star cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the separation and requested for joint legal and physical custody of their son Leo, 12. At the time, the former couple shared a statement about the split, saying: 'To everyone who has loved and supported us, we have some personal news to share.
