The Truth About Jennette McCurdy's Dating History

While Jennette McCurdy played "iCarly"'s sarcastic and quirky Sam on-screen, off-screen her life wasn't all fun and games. Her mother was suffering from breast cancer, which she eventually died from in 2013, according to Hollywood Life.

When she was 18 years old, McCurdy began dating Paul Glaser, a man who worked behind the scenes of her hit Nick sitcom. But according to J-14, the couple broke up before her the star's mother passed. McCurdy reflected on that time in an interview with Vulture: "I put my feelings of love toward someone other than my mother, who had been the receiver of all that love up until that point," she said (via J-14). "I knew she was leaving, and I was panicking, and I think there was just a part of myself that was ready to switch these feelings of love toward a new person. I needed to go through that loss on my own. I felt that I would put too much of myself into another person, and become very attached. I thought, 'Oh, if I share this loss with someone, and I share this part of myself with someone, and this reality with someone, then they become my reality.' And that thought scared me."
