The Relationship
Though rumors of a relationship stirred some gossip, there were no significant public sightings or collaborations between Leoni and Thornton. Both were busy with their careers—Leoni with her work in television and film and Thornton focusing on his writing and acting projects.

The lack of public appearances together led many to believe that whatever romantic connection existed between them was brief and private. It never became a fully publicized relationship, allowing both to continue focusing on their careers with minimal media attention.
