Television shows take us to another world while we take part in some pretty narrative lines. They also allow us to fall in love with some pretty sizzling characters! Nothing beats witnessing two people fall in love on screen. We can’t help but fantasize about them falling in love in real life. It is a huge compliment to them and a sign that they’re doing their job well. But, they are doing just that, and not all on-screen romances become offscreen.
Is it true that life imitates art, and art imitates love? These celebrities may have been posing as lovers. But their relationships were far from fictitious. Gas up and get ready for all the feels. Here are ten on-screen couples who have taken their relationship offscreen.
1. Lili Reinhart & Cole Sprouse
Riverdale’s #Bughead fandom is so powerful. We’re pretty confident nothing would be able to separate Betty and Jughead. And, like so many other CW stars before them, Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart fell in love on set. They were on and off for three years until finally breaking up in May 2020. They moved on and went on to string their career investments.
2. Rose Leslie & Kit Harington
On Game of Thrones, Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie play Jon Snow and Ygritte. Yet, they were in love on and offscreen. Although Leslie was off the program in 2014, the two married in 2018. Fans mourn her character, with whom Harrington had some of his most memorable scenes.
3. Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher
Jackie and Kelso in real life? It’s almost too good to be true. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher had credits on That ’70s Show for almost ten years, but they were just ever friends. Kutcher was with actress Demi Moore for eight years. Kunis was in a long-term romance with Macaulay Culkin. But, fate has intervened. Kunis and Kutcher first became romantically involved in 2012 and got married in July of 2015.

6. Katie Holmes & Joshua Jackson
Dawson’s Creek was the standard of teen drama for a generation of teenagers in the 1990s. It earned a prominent degree as one of the adolescent dramas in history. The real-life individuals behind it fell in love before their roles did. Years before Holmes’s marriage to Tom Cruise, she and Joshua Jackson appeared happy.
7. Nina Dobrev & Ian Somelhalder
