Katee Sackhoff and Karl Urban met while traveling with members of their respective families. The actress said she became acquainted with her future beau when their flight was delayed. "We met on a plane to Montreal to do a sci-fi convention three years ago," she told Metro in 2017. The couple made local headlines when Urban brought his girlfriend back to his native New Zealand in early 2015. As reported by the New Zealand Herald, this came seven months after he went public with his separation from his ex-wife.

Multiple stories were written about the duo, and they were often asked about one another during their interviews. While discussing her new home with the L.A. Times in 2016, Sackhoff was asked about a certain knick-knack on her bookshelf that bore her boyfriend's image. "I never intended to keep his action figure, but you can't throw it away. It's bad mojo for a relationship," the actress said.

However, their relationship wasn't forever. In August 2019, Urban went public with the couple's split by responding to an article about his hit show The Boys. "One small inaccuracy... @kateesackhoff and I are no longer together and have not been for over a year," he tweeted. "Katee is a phenomenal woman, a compassionate humanitarian & a brilliant actor.I love and respect her." 

Earlier that year, Sackhoff's new boyfriend, Robin Gadsby, began posting photos of the couple on his Instagram page. She also posted several romantic snaps of the couple together on her own Instagram page.
