Danielle Dotzenrod: The Beginning

Years Together: 2002

Duration: Less than a year

Billy Bob Thornton’s relationship with Danielle Dotzenrod remains one of the more obscure chapters in his romantic history. The two reportedly dated briefly in the 1990s, though details about how they met or how long they were together are scarce.

Dotzenrod was not a public figure, and her relationship with Thornton never gained significant media attention. At the time, Thornton was still working his way through Hollywood and was not a household name, which might explain why their connection stayed under the radar.
