This isn't Eddie's first long-term relationship. He had a girlfriend before - Tara Hacking.
They have known each other since he was 14 years old and dated more than 3 years.
They appeared together several events.
Photos from the events Eddie went with Tara:
What do you want to improve?
My biggest challenge is being able to live this absurd
life. I have a long-term relationship and it's amazing,
but often you're away for half the year and when
you come back you're kind of out of work.
So in theory, when you're supposed to be happiest
because you're back with the person you love, you
can be neurotic and frustrated."

An anecdote from Eddie Redmayne (source: Fast Eddie / Evening Standard. November 2007) (x)
Of The Good Shepherd, directed by Robert de Niro, he says: I was living in
New York and you’d drive in blacked-out cars to this huge armoury in Brooklyn and the paparazzi would be lining up outside for Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon. But once inside, everyone’s just working.’
It was during that movie, he recalls, that he was determined to splash out and take his girlfriend of three years, Tara Hacking, who he name-checks in the first five minutes – I’m deeply, deeply in love; she’s known me since I was 14, she knows me backwards,’ he explains, to Nobu. So he saved up all of his per diems, took them as a huge cash wodge in his pocket, and we sat there not wanting to look at the prices; we had martinis, whiskies, coffees, the whole thing. When we asked for the bill, the waiter came up and said, “Just to let you know, sir, Mr. De Niro covered your bill.” At which point Tara and I stared, floored, and she said, “Can’t we get him to come back and say that really loudly?”’
Eddie grins. “De Niro owns the restaurant, so when the booking came in he heard of it.
He had a party before the premier for the film in his apartment in New York . Tara had already met Angelina, she’s in marketing, but she’s done some NGO-related charity stuff — and they’d had this amazing conversation, and I’d just sat and watched these two like-minded people chat. But when we walked into the room, Tara turns round whispering “Your actual Brad Pitt! Your actual Brad Pitt!” – because he was there, with Angelina. And Robert De Niro’s wife Grace puts us on the table with Angelina, Brad, the writer Eric Roth and his partner, and suddenly the writer says, “We need another chair; my son has to sit with us.” At which point, Tara, bless her, says; “Don’t worry, I’ll move,” and Brad leans over and goes, “Tara, don’t worry, we’ll get a chair.” And her heart melts. She’d just spent nine months in Shanghai learning Mandarin, so the two of them were off chatting. [Pitt was banned from China for life after filming Seven years in Tibet, so he was fascinated by her experience] I was suitable jealous but lucky enough to be talking to Angelina Jolie!’
