Dan Aykroyd was once engaged to Carrie Fisher
Before Donna Dixon, Dan dated Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher. They fell in love while filming The Blues Brothers in the early 1980s and Dan later proposed to her on the set of the movie. Their engagement came to an end when Carrie reconciled with her former musician boyfriend Paul Simmon.

Throughout the process of her decision to not marry me and wed another, the reward for my unwavering support in whatever decision she wanted to do was the time I had with her as a trusted friend and fellow night hawk. – Dan Aykroyd
