The 47-year-old actor, known primarily for his leading role in the first Transporter movie trilogy, and 28-year-old model have been dating for over five years. However, they have successfully been able to keep their private relationship away from the public eye.

In an April 2015 interview with Self magazine, Rosie opened up about her relationship with Jason Statham and her feelings about not being affected by the pressure of getting married.

“For any couple that’s been together for a certain amount of time, there’s a massive amount of pressure to get married. I totally believe in marriage, but being in a happy relationship is much more important to me… [Kids are] something that’s more realistic in the near future.”

The Transformers 3 actress also claimed that Jason Statham was an ideal boyfriend, making her laugh every day. She stated that the two were “best mates,” claiming that she felt as if she “never had a proper boyfriend before” Jason.

Over the years, rumors and speculation have circulated about Jason and Rosie possibly breaking up and going their separate ways. However, Huntington-Whiteley made it clear that there was no truth to any of those reports.

“One thing about J and I, we just get on with our relationship. The other day, someone said to me, ‘I really respect how private you guys are.’ I said, ‘Really? That’s interesting.’ It’s more work to put your relationship out there than it is to keep it behind closed doors. But my relationship is not a branch of my brand. It’s my private life. Certainly, that’s how he feels, too.”

Long before Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley became an item, according to the Guardian , the Spy actor was romantically involved with former glamour model Kelly Brook.

When promoting Spy in the June/July 2015 issue of Esquire magazine, according to E! Online , Statham explained that finding quality time to relax with Rosie is a primary objective whenever they can do so. On breaks from their respective busy schedules, Jason joked that he and Rosie “get drunk and float around the swimming pool.”

Last April, Jason and Rosie made headlines when they purchased a $12.9 million mansion together in Beverly Hills. Originally built in the 1980s, the two-story mansion covered a total of 5,600 square feet – including five bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

Even though Jason Statham has not revealed very much about his longtime love interest in real-life, the actor has been racking up movie credit after movie credit on the big-screen.

The 47-year-old actor has been featured in three different blockbuster movie franchises – The Transporter, The Expendables, and Furious 7 .

Even though his days of playing Frank in The Transporter are probably over, Jason Statham will more than likely make even more waves with future installments of the Fast and Furious franchise as well as The Expendables.
