31 TV Couples Who Became Real Couples

The #Bughead fandom is so strong on Riverdale that we're pretty sure nothing can tear Betty and Jughead apart — not even leagues of serial killers in their seemingly idyllic town, and like many good CW stars before them, Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart fell for each other on set. The two dated on-and-off-again for three years, before ultimately splitting in May 2020.

During season three, Veronica briefly got together with Reggie. At the same time, Camila Mendes and Charles Melton developed a romance offscreen. The pair dated for more than a year before splitting in December 2019.

After playing onscreen couple John B and Sarah Cameron on Netflix's Outer Banks, Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline eventually became a real couple. After much speculation, the pair confirmed they were dating were dating in June 2020.

While playing love interests on Supergirl, Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood developed a supercute romance of their own. Their relationship was confirmed in March 2017, and they have been going strong ever since. In September 2019, they tied the knot, and they are currently expecting their first child together.

After their characters got together on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Jaz Sinclair and Ross Lynch were rumored to be an item in real life. Though the two have been notoriously private about their relationship, they did make their red carpet debut together at the Balmain show in Paris in January 2020.

Felicity (Keri Russell) was always torn between her love interests, Noel and Ben, but in real life, she chose Ben — well, the guy who played him, anyway. Scott Speedman and Russell dated while the series still aired in the early 2000s.

How sweet is this: not only did Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas play a romantic-sounding couple on TV (Snow White and Prince Charming), but they're in love in real life, too — they got married and have two kids together! What a fairy-tale ending.

They were an on-and-off vampire couple on The Vampire Diaries, and Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder were together in real life for a few years. Somerhalder has since married Nikki Reed, but we'll always have Mystic Falls.

They were passionate high school couple Lucas and Brooke on One Tree Hill, and that passion carried over into a romance and eventual marriage for actors Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush. But much like their characters on the show, it wasn't meant to be, and they split up.

Their Mad Men love story isn't so romantic — Pete and Beth both cheat on their spouses. But in real life, Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel's situation lacks the scandalous aspect, and they secretly tied the knot in 2014 and have since welcomed a child.

It's almost too perfect that Jackie and Kelso are together. We loved their on-and-off relationship on That '70s Show, but we're glad their current pairing has led to a marriage and kids.

In the cult hit Freaks and Geeks, Nick — one of the freaks — can't help but pour all his energy into Lindsay. In real life, Jason Segel and Linda Cardellini ended up dating for a few years after the show was canceled.

On Gotham, Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin have a relationship threatened by dastardly villains at every turn, but in real life, they're blissfully married and have a baby.

Fans loved the dramatic relationship between Rory and Jess on Gilmore Girls, and apparently there was something real about that onscreen chemistry — Alexis Bledel and Milo Ventimiglia dated for four years between 2002 and 2006.

For two seasons of Stranger Things, these two escaped monsters — and their feelings for each other — but by the end of season two, Nancy and Jonathan finally give a relationship a real shot (sorry Steve). In real life, Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer are also going for it — the two stepped out as a couple for their first event in late 2017.
