He said previously: 'My job is so selfish and focused on my own vanity that I like to surround myself with people who are actually helping people throughout their day.'

Jesse and Anna dated from 2002 to 2012 before deciding to take a break whilst Jesse focused on his career. 

Then the actor spent four months volunteering for a domestic violence shelter in Bloomington, Indiana.

It was whilst volunteering that Jesse was put back in touch with Anna, as her mother is the shelter's executive director.

Speaking about his work with the shelter, he remained coy.

He told The Guardian: 'I was there for, like, personal reasons. For reasons I don't want to bring up in an interview.'
