The Force is strong with her. Rachel Bilson showed off a deck of Star Wars cards featuring her ex Hayden Christensen in honor of Star Wars Day.
The O.C. alum, 41, shared a photo of the cards via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, May 4, adding the hashtag, “MayThe4thBeWithYou.” (Fans of the franchise have long celebrated the date as a holiday, in reference to the saga’s famous catchphrase, “May the Force be with you.”)
Bilson’s deck is a regular deck of playing cards, but each card shows a different character from the film series. Christensen, 42, appears as Anakin Skywalker on the ace of diamonds card. Other cards in the photo featured Harrison Ford as Han Solo, the late Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu.

The Hart of Dixie veteran and Christensen — who share daughter Briar Rose, 8 — began dating in 2008 after meeting on the set of their movie Jumper. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in September 2017 that the duo called it quits after nearly 10 years together. “She’s full-time back in L.A. He’s in Toronto,” an insider told Us at the time. “They’ve been on the outs for a couple of months.”
One month later, a source told Us that Emma Roberts was at the center of the duo’s split. According to The Blast, Bilson found text messages between Christensen and his Little Italy costar, 32, which led her to believe that the two were having an inappropriate relationship.
In the years since, however, the pair have maintained an amicable coparenting relationship.
“It’s been going pretty well,” Bilson exclusively told Us in December 2020 when asked about how the pair were handling parenthood amid the coronavirus pandemic.
