After all, it was less than 24 hours ago that the world learned of the celeb couple's breakup.

News about his leading lady in an exclusive interview.
"It's hard for me to even put into words what that girl means to me," the actor told E! News at the July premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. "I am so inspired by her every day and I just love her to my core."
