Val Kilmer reveals split from Daryl Hannah was his ‘most painful’ as he reflects on romances with Cindy Crawford and Angelina Jolie
Breaking-up with Daryl Hannah was not easy for Val Kilmer.
The actor, 60, revealed in his new memoir, I’m Your Huckleberry, that their break-up was his ‘most painful split’, according to an excerpt obtained by People.
The couple began dating in 2001 after working on the movie In God We Trust, but the relationship still clearly stands out to Kilmer.

He even playfully called out her husband Neil Young, who she wed in 2018 after four years of dating.
‘Lord knows I’ve suffered heartache. But Daryl was by far the most painful of all. (Neil Young, I always loved you, but I’m afraid I hate you now.),’ he wrote.
Kilmer still has fond memories of his time with Hannah in New Mexico.
The relationship started years after Kilmer ended his marriage of eight years to actress Joanne Whalley, who he shares daughter Mercedes, 28, and son Jack, 24, with.
