5 Shocking Real-Life Facts About Jasper And Alice: Are Jackson Rathbone And Ashley Greene Dating In 2025?
The enduring on-screen romance between Jasper Hale and Alice Cullen in The Twilight Saga has captivated fans for over a decade, leading to persistent speculation about whether the actors, Jackson Rathbone and Ashley Greene, ever took their relationship off-screen. As of December 20, 2025, the simple, definitive answer is no: Jackson Rathbone and Ashley Greene are not, and have never been, a real-life couple.

The Truth Behind the 'Jashley' Romance Rumors and Ashley's Crush
The persistent rumors of a real-life romance between "Jasper and Alice" were a mainstay of early 2010s celebrity gossip, culminating in the fan-created portmanteau "Jashley." While the actors always maintained they were close friends and colleagues, the true catalyst for the on-set tension and fan speculation was only confirmed years later by Ashley Greene herself.
The Big Revelation on *The Twilight Effect* Podcast. In a candid episode of her rewatch podcast, *The Twilight Effect*, Ashley Greene admitted that she had a genuine, unrequited crush on Jackson Rathbone during the filming of the first movie. She described the intense atmosphere of the set and her attraction to her on-screen partner, stating, "I had a big old crush on Jackson Rathbone while we were filming."
This admission, made years after the franchise concluded, finally provided context for the palpable on-screen chemistry that fans adored and that fueled the dating rumors. Greene clarified that the crush remained an on-set secret and that their relationship never progressed beyond a deep friendship, which remains strong today. This recent, fresh detail is the most significant update in the "Jasper and Alice dating" narrative, effectively confirming the source of the fan curiosity while simultaneously debunking the actual dating claim.
