Minka Kelly Dishes on ‘Toxic’ Fling with ‘Friday Night Lights’ Co-Star Taylor Kitsch
Minka Kelly is quite literally telling all in her new memoir Tell Me Everything, out May 2, including some new details about her former relationship with her Friday Night Lights co-star Taylor Kitsch.
The book, described by Kelly as a “tribute to her mother and all working-class single mothers,” details her rough childhood, abusive relationships to eventual rise as one of Hollywood’s most employable actresses. Kelly also has plenty to spill about her highly publicized romantic life. Since starring on NBC hit show Friday Night Lights, the actress has been linked to major celebrities like Chris Evans, John Mayer, Derek Jeter, Jesse Williams and Trevor Noah. However, she’s only mentioning one famous ex-partner by name.
In the book, Kelly writes about her failed relationship with Kitsch, who played the troubled football player Tim Riggins, and how it distanced her from the other actresses on the series. Interestingly enough, her character, cheerleader Lyla Garrity, had few friendly interactions with the series’ other female protagonists throughout her four-season tenure.
