It was indeed Edward Norton, one of the actors who was featured in Frida. The two first met in 1999 and dated for four years, till their eventual split later that year.

Salma has managed to stay in the news for another one of her movies, The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, which has managed to stay in the top three of the domestic box office over its second week, despite stiff competition from A Quiet Place Part II and F9.
