Marvel directly documents Natasha Romanoff’s on-and-off romance with Bucky Barnes in the comics. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Black Widow (2021) centers on her chosen family and friendship—not a roster of romantic partners. The headline’s “13” is not an official Marvel-confirmed total, so the names below are identified by continuity and relationship type rather than presented as 13 people Natasha dated.
What counts as a Black Widow relationship?
Natasha Romanoff, also known as Black Widow, is a spy, assassin, and Avenger in Marvel’s character overview (Marvel’s Black Widow profile). But a relationship list can mean romance, family, friendship, mentorship, or partnership. Those categories should not be conflated, and the comics and MCU are separate continuities.
Marvel’s official material reviewed here does not establish an exact, canonical list of 13 partners. It clearly supports one comic romance and several significant MCU family and friend ties. That evidence is not enough to call every commonly circulated name a confirmed romantic partner.
Natasha Romanoff and Bucky Barnes: the documented comics romance
Marvel traces Natasha and Bucky Barnes’s relationship to the Red Room, where Bucky served as a trainer in the Black Widow Ops program. The two began an affair, but their handlers separated them. They later met again, and their romance resumed after Bucky became Captain America and worked with Natasha. Marvel describes the relationship as ending, while leaving their future connection complicated and open to the possibility of reconciliation (Marvel’s relationship history).

A separate Marvel retrospective calls them an “on-again, off-again” pair and points to stories including Captain America (2004) #27, Winter Soldier (2012), and The Web of Black Widow #2 (Marvel’s Black Widow and Winter Soldier comics overview). These are comic-continuity stories; they do not establish a romance between the characters in the MCU.
Natasha’s MCU family and friend relationships
In Black Widow (2021), Natasha’s important relationships are rooted in the people who shaped her past and the family she chooses to reclaim. D23’s character guide describes Yelena Belova as having a sibling-like bond with Natasha; Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena, said they butt heads “in the way that siblings do” (D23’s character guide, July 6, 2021). Marvel’s Japanese film page explicitly labels Yelena Natasha’s sister, Melina Vostokoff her mother, Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian her father, and Mason a friend (Marvel Japan’s Black Widow page).

| Character | Continuity and relationship to Natasha | What the evidence supports |
|---|---|---|
| Yelena Belova | MCU; sister / sibling-like bond | D23 describes a sibling-like relationship; Marvel Japan labels her Natasha’s sister. |
| Melina Vostokoff | MCU; mother figure | Marvel Japan labels Melina Natasha’s mother. |
| Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian | MCU; father figure | Marvel Japan labels Alexei Natasha’s father. |
| Mason | MCU; friend | Marvel Japan identifies Mason as Natasha’s friend. |
These family and friend labels belong to the MCU story. They are meaningful relationships, but they are not evidence that Natasha dated these characters, nor should they be transferred automatically to the comics.
Why a definitive 13-person romance list is not supported
Names such as Hawkeye/Clint Barton, Tony Stark/Iron Man, Hercules, Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Michael Corcoran, and Bruce Banner appear in some secondary discussions of Natasha’s personal life. The official Marvel material cited here does not settle those candidates as romantic partners, so they cannot responsibly be presented as confirmed entries in a 13-person dating history.

That distinction matters: a teammate, ally, flirtation, or story-specific connection is not automatically a documented romance. The source-backed answer to “Who has Black Widow dated?” is narrower than the headline’s number: Bucky Barnes is the clearly documented comics romance in the material cited here, while the MCU ties listed above are family and friendship.

Where to start with the Black Widow and Winter Soldier comics
For readers interested in Natasha and Bucky as a couple, Marvel’s relationship history names Captain America (2004) #27, Winter Soldier (2012), and The Web of Black Widow #2 as relevant milestones. These references are individual series or issues, not a guaranteed single collected edition or a complete reading order. Marvel’s Black Widow comics index can help identify series and available material (Marvel’s Black Widow comics listing).
