Billy Bob Thornton met Cynda Williams in the late 1980s, and their relationship partly blossomed through their professional collaboration. Thornton co-wrote the film One False Move (1992), which featured Williams in a starring role.

Their work on the film allowed them to spend considerable time together, deepening their connection. By 1990, they were married, marking Thornton’s second marriage.
