Grace Van Patten isn’t telling any lies about her first impression of Jackson White.
Actually, the Tell Me Lies actress shared that she initially met her costar-and later boyfriend-through a rather uncomfortable Zoom table read for the Hulu show.
Grace confessed to host Alex Cooper on the October 1st episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast that she wasn’t a fan of Jackson. “We discuss this often,” she said. “I did several Zoom chemistry reads since it was still during the Covid pandemic.”
Now that the 28-year-old actress has been officially cast as Lucy, she began rehearsing scenes with the actors auditioning for the role of Stephen, her co-star.
I remembered hearing that Jackson was the frontrunner,” she said. “So, I was really happy to see him succeed. When he started performing, I actually told him, ‘Wow, he’s a truly dedicated actor, a real actor’s actor.’ Honestly, I was just overwhelmed, but he was fantastic.
I thought to myself, ‘Okay, we might not click, but he’s ideally suited for the role,'” the Nine Perfect Strangers alum explained. “He’s incredibly talented and a wonderful performer.”
Oh my gosh, everything just *shifted* when they finally met face-to-face for the next auditions! I mean, it was a whole new vibe. She even said, “It was a completely different energy.” Can you believe it? Apparently, he was so worried! He told her he was really nervous doing the Zoom calls. I just knew they’d have chemistry, but hearing he was so anxious just makes me adore him even more! It’s so sweet to know he cares so much.
It turns out, the pair didn’t need the cameras rolling for their romance to blossom.
I was really focused on the show and thrilled to be working on it, especially when we found the actor for the role,” Grace shared. “My mind kept drifting to Tell Me Lies, and I couldn’t stop thinking about him.”
Initially, she wasn’t sure if her feelings were a crush or simply enthusiasm for the new project. However, things became much more obvious when she went out with some friends
“We all had dinner,” she said. “We really connected right away. That night, we both realized we had a crush on each other. This was probably a terrible idea. We sat on the steps for, I think, about six hours, talking through all the reasons why we shouldn’t pursue anything. And then I kissed him.”
For Grace and Jackson, both 29, collaborating on Tell Me Lies has been a wonderful experience. As the actress known from Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox explained, “What I enjoy most about this job is getting to do it alongside him.”

The couple now have two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada. Mendes has shared how being with The Notebook star altered her views on becoming a mother.
I’ve always admired her journey! She shared on Sydney’s Nova 96.9 back in October 2020 that she really put in the work for two decades. She explained that she never felt the urge to have children until she met Ryan. Then, things just fell into place – she had her first baby around age 40 and her second when she was about 42. It’s amazing how she built a successful career and then beautifully shifted her focus to her family. It just shows you can have both – a fulfilling career and a wonderful family life. I’m so inspired by her story!
And she’s not ruling out a future on-screen collaboration with Gosling.
I’d love to collaborate with Ryan again. I especially enjoyed working with him on set when he was directing – it was a really fulfilling experience creatively, and he’s a fantastic director,” she shared with TopMob News. “I’d definitely welcome the chance to work with him again.”
The singers, originally brought together while working on The Voice, have been very close ever since they began dating in November 2015.
Although Shelton and Stefani both shared that they first connected because of the end of their marriages, it quickly became clear that their relationship had the potential to be something long-term. Their connection felt strong from the very beginning.
In a conversation with Billboard, Shelton shared how he quickly fell in love with the singer and how they both supported each other during difficult times. He stated, “Gwen saved my life.” He added, “Who else could truly understand what it’s like to go through a public divorce from a fellow musician?”
After dating for five years, Shelton proposed in October 2020, and the couple then married in a small, private ceremony in July 2021.
As shared by Carson Daly, the wedding officiant, the ceremony was a beautiful mix of country charm and sophisticated elegance.
He described it as having Gwen’s elegance and sophistication, while also capturing Blake’s down-to-earth, fun-loving spirit, as he told Today. He explained, “They just click. They seem like an odd match, but it works – like pairing amazing fried chicken with champagne. It doesn’t *sound* like it should work, but it really does. They’re a comforting combination with a touch of class, and people naturally support that.”
The couple first connected in 1995 while acting as lovers on the well-known soap opera All My Children. The morning talk show host and the Riverdale star quickly decided to get married in Las Vegas on May 1, 1996.

He shared on Watch What Happens Live that when they first started dating, they’d go out with coworkers, but each time, the group would shrink until it was just the two of them. He admitted he was shy and not particularly assertive at the time.
But Ripa revealed the couple almost split before their wedding.
She explained on the Comments By Celebs podcast in 2018 that they had a rocky start to their relationship. “We actually broke up and then got back together just one day before we decided to run away and get married,” she shared. “Yes, we eloped-we went to Las Vegas and tied the knot.”
After almost thirty years of marriage and raising three children, Ripa and Consuelos are still happily together. Interestingly, things have come full circle, and they are now working together as Live co-hosts.
Ever since the Jennifer’s Body actress first encountered the rapper, known as Colson Baker, while working together on a film in 2020, she felt their connection was special-a “once in a lifetime” kind of love, as she described it.
During a conversation with her Midnight in the Switchgrass director Randall Emmett on his and then-fiancée Lala Kent‘s podcast in July 2020, Fox remembered asking who would be taking the vacant seat on set. She explained, “[Emmett] told me, ‘Oh, we just got Machine Gun Kelly,’ and I immediately thought, ‘Uh oh.’ I had a feeling something unpredictable was going to happen to me as a result of that meeting, though I didn’t know what. I just felt it instinctively that something would come of it.”
Megan Fox, who privately split from her husband of nine years and the father of her three children, Brian Austin Green, in late 2019, later described Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) as her “twin flame,” meaning their connection went beyond simply being soul mates.
The couple openly displayed their affection for each other: Fox appeared in Kelly’s music video, they both got tattoos celebrating their relationship, and they first appeared together as a couple on the red carpet. They then got engaged in January 2022.
Although they are no longer together, they had a daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, in March 2025 and continue to raise her together as coparents.

He explained, “It’s a beautiful country, the Northern Lights are truly magical, and that’s where I found love.” He added, “When you’re already drawn to someone, and they then play your romantic partner on screen, it’s incredibly easy to develop feelings for them.”

For the couple, combining work and personal life came naturally. Shahi shared with TopMob News that collaborating with her boyfriend is “one of her favorite things.” She described Adam as being among her “all-time favorite scene partners.”
She explained that being with him felt effortless. “I simply have to look at him, and he handles most of the work,” she said. “I’m falling in love with who he is as a person, both off and on camera. That connection just added something special that came across on screen – maybe that’s what viewers connected with so strongly.”

I realized I was going to marry my husband, Josh, at Disneyland because I brought him there for the very first time when we were first getting to know each other,” Goodwin later told Kelly Ripa. “We were riding Big Thunder Mountain, and he threw his arms up, exclaiming, ‘This is the best day of my life!’ And I immediately thought, ‘We’re definitely getting married.’
