Drake Bell
Amanda Bynes and Drake Bell met on the set of The Amanda Show when they were only 12 or 13. They dated starting in 1999 but split in 2001.
Despite their breakup, they continuously worked together for a year.
"Growing up with her, she's so incredibly talented. There's a lot that I learned from her too ... It's cool to see her doing her thing now," Bell told ET! Live.
Taran Killam
Bynes dated another costar Taran Killam when she was 15, and he was 19. Their relationship only lasted from 2001 to 2002.
"When I knew Amanda 10 years ago, she was a lovely, intelligent, funny girl ... We lost touch, but I wish her all the best," Killam said during his interview with E! Online.
Frankie Muniz
Following Bynes' relationships with her The Amanda Show costars, she sparked rumors that she moved on with Big Fat Liar star Frankie Muniz. They never commented on the buzz.
Nick Zano
Nick Zano also made it to Bynes' dating history after he was linked to the What I Like About You star.
Their romance began when Bynes was 17 and Zano was 24. However, they ended their relationship in 2004.
"I learned so much from both relationships. Both of them helped me to get to where I am today. The first one was there to sort of have a negative effect on me, and then my second one helped me get back to where I was," Bynes told CosmoGirl! (now Seventeen) a year after the breakup.

The public believed the pair called it quits when Bynes wrote on X, "You're d---whipped by my ugly ex @ducidni (Kid Cudi's username) whose looks and talent have always been questionable to me, him being the ugly duckling that he is and all."
In 2013, she issued an apology statement and claimed her account was hacked at the time.
