How Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish Met
Three years earlier, she met filmmaker Michael Polish when filming in Monterey County, California. He has a daughter, Jasper Polish, from his previous marriage to makeup artist Jo Strettell.
“I started to sense I had known this girl a long time,” Polish told The Sydney Morning Herald. “I said, ‘I’m going to marry this girl.'”
Twelve years younger than him, Kate Bosworth portrayed Willamine “Billie” Dabney in the film that debuted at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

Falling in Love on the Set of Big Sur
“It hit me at about a million miles an hour,” she said in an interview with Marie Claire UK.
“I almost fell off my chair. They always say when you know, you know, and I had found that quite frustrating my whole life. How do you know? But it’s true.”
“There are so many people that hook up on movies, and you wonder if that’s real, so we didn’t go there. I think we were both experienced to know that if this was the real deal, we could wait to see what would happen,” she added about waiting to start dating until filming had wrapped.
A Marriage, a Movie, and a Meaningful Connection
They married in Philipsburg, Montana, on August 31, 2013, in a four-day Mexican-themed celebration at The Ranch at Rock Creek.
After eight years of marriage, they officially separated in August 2021 and finalized their divorce in March 2023.

“It’s difficult as a director, you always work with a bunch of different actors, and then when you click in with somebody you don’t really want to leave that person,” Polish told Us Weekly.
“It’s the one [film] you show your children when they’re old enough and you say, ‘This is where I met your mother,’ and that’s probably the most special part,” he added about Big Sur, which is based on the 1962 book by novelist Jack Kerouac.
