Brandon Routh & Rachel Leigh Cook Spark Romance Rumors With Date Night

by

Rachael Leigh Cook and Brandon Routh seem to be all that—and more. 

On the evening of July 25th, I was part of an intimate cinema outing in Los Angeles with the star who graced us in “She’s All That” and the hero from “Superman Returns”. We strolled hand-in-hand and couldn’t help but share warm smiles as we entered the theater.

For their casual hangout, Rachel chose a set consisting of blue denim jeans and a navy utility jacket, accessorized with a pink bag. On the other hand, Brandon went with a sleek black ensemble, combining a long-sleeved button-down shirt with simple trousers.

TopMob News has attempted to contact representatives for Rachel and Brandon about their recent outing, however, we are still waiting for a response.

Despite not publicly disclosing their romantic status yet, there have been numerous chances for these Hallmark stars to meet given their extensive work in the greeting card network. For instance, Rachael was recently seen in “Sisterhood, Inc.” alongside Daniella Monet, while Brandon is known for directing the popular “Nine Lives of Christmas” series.

Their excursion follows the conclusion of Brandon’s divorce with Courtney Ford this summer, half a year after they announced their separation.

Having been together for 21 years, including 17 years of marriage, we’ve decided to embark on a fresh chapter in our lives, remaining friends and committed co-parents,” the former couple stated in January. “We will always support each other as we navigate the exciting journey that is life.

Rachael separated from her former spouse Daniel Gillies in 2019 after spending 14 years married to him. They have two children together: Charlotte, who is 11 years old, and Theodore, who is 10 years old.

Rachael and Daniel expressed their heartfelt appreciation for every year they spent together and the countless cherished moments they shared. They have chosen to part ways as a couple, but will continue to admire and care for each other deeply as parents, individuals, and artists. They are excited to preserve the positive aspects of their relationship for many years to come.

After their separation, Rachael had a brief relationship with Kevin Mann, publicly displaying their romance on social media in 2021. A year later, she expressed her feelings about love’s future to People magazine, stating that she is completely open to whatever may come her way.

She playfully remarked to the outlet, “I’m about as hopelessly and shamelessly romantic as anyone you’ve ever encountered, perhaps even to an irrational degree.” Yet, she added with a laugh, “Absolutely, I wouldn’t mind experiencing something like that again.

As this could-be romance continues to unfold, keep reading for other costars who have dated… 

The one where fans had no idea their favorite Friends couple actually had feelings for each other.

In the memorable reunion special for their series on HBO Max, Aniston and Schwimmer confessed that they had secretly harbored feelings for each other during the initial season of the show.

According to Schwimmer, he admitted, “Yes, I had a big crush on Jen during our first season.” Aniston responded by saying, “My feelings were mutual.

So why didn’t Ross and Rachel’s real-life counterparts ever officially get together?

At certain moments, there was a strong mutual attraction between us, as Schwimmer admitted. However, due to one person being involved in another relationship at all times, it was like our paths never quite aligned. We didn’t cross any boundaries, and instead, we respected that situation. Nevertheless, we both…

Matt LeBlanc interjected, humorously stating, “Nonsense. I’m joking,” before playfully hinting that the cast members might have displayed a bit of affection on set.

Admitting candidly, I recalled telling David once, ‘It’s quite unfortunate if our first real kiss happens on live TV.’ Well, as predicted, our first kiss occurred right there in the coffee shop.

However, during their time on set, the co-stars would often make the most of their breaks, as Schwimmer reminisced about those early years, commenting, “During our rehearsal breaks, there were instances where we’d curl up together on the couch.” Aniston chimed in, “And we’d even spoon and doze off on the couch.

In the end, Schwimmer confessed, “I’m wondering, why didn’t everyone realize we had feelings for each other?

In 2010, the cast of The Big Bang Theory caused quite a stir when it emerged that they had been dating for two years. It wasn’t until after their breakup that Kaley Cuoco disclosed intimate details about their relationship.

In an interview with CBS Watch! magazine, Cuoco shared that her relationship with Galecki played a significant role in her life, yet remained hidden from everyone’s sight. It was a beautiful relationship, though neither of us ever discussed it publicly or appeared in public together.

Despite their real-life romance having ended off-set, the TV characters of Penny and Leonard, from the popular CBS sitcom, continued dating throughout the show’s duration. It’s worth noting that portraying a romantic relationship on screen never posed a problem for these ex-lovebirds.

In her explanation, she mentioned that when dealing with two individuals who started their professional careers at a very young age (age 4) and maintained a private lifestyle throughout, she expressed a preference for preserving this secluded aspect of their lives. It’s possible that their commitment to privacy may have unwittingly contributed to their eventual separation.

Cuoco expressed, “We took great care in safeguarding ourselves and our show, fearing any interference. Yet, this precaution also brought a sense of sadness. I don’t desire that sort of bond – I prefer honesty and openness.

If you found the romantic dynamics among the characters in “Saved by the Bell” to be intriguing on-screen, you’d be surprised by the amount of real-life relationship turmoil that occurred off-set.

At some point, we all have been in relationships – it felt like everyone was involved with each other! This is what actor Mario Lopez shared with People magazine back in 2009. There were times when the girls would stick together against the guys. Tiffani and Elizabeth would dislike me, and then they’d dislike Lark because she was talking to me. Meanwhile, Mario was supposed to take someone’s side. It was just like high school drama, where people would ask, ‘How could you talk to him?’

However, the real-life couple from Saved by the Bell who stayed together the longest was Tiffani-Amber Thiessan (Gosselaar) and Lisa Marie Voorhies, dating for approximately three years during the show’s latter stages.

During their time playing Zack and Kelly on one of the most popular TV shows in the ’90s, there was a strong attraction between the actors Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Thiessen, as revealed by Ed Alonzo (known as Max from The Max) in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“It was very cute,” Alonzo shared. “It was hand-holding and looking over.”

In an interview with People, Thiessen shared that her initial experience with alcohol took place in the company of Gosselaar. She mentioned, “Mark-Paul and I went to Paris for a press tour together. We savored crepes, and my first taste of alcohol was with him. At times, it seemed like we were living as Barbie and Ken or perhaps Zack and Kelly.

Absolutely, Zack Morris was in a romantic relationship with each of the main female characters from “Saved By the Bell.” In an interview on Anna Faris’s podcast “Unqualified” in 2019, he confessed to pursuing Berkeley for a brief period.

He clarified, “It was much like any other setting—you understand the dynamics. When we were filming on set as youngsters, there wasn’t anyone else truly present. In essence, we worked and resided in an isolated sphere, or what I’d call a ‘bubble.’

No wonder Zack had to call so many time outs.

On the popular show “Saved By the Bell”, Lopez’s character A.C. and Berkeley’s character Jessie were a couple, but in his memoir titled “Just Between Us”, Lopez disclosed that he had a romantic relationship with Thiessen off-screen.

As a die-hard fan, I can tell you that he shared their story – they went to movies, dined out, socialized at parties, and even danced together, eventually becoming an official pair. However, Lopez confessed to infidelity, expressing, “I believed being loyal to Tiffani was the right course of action. But I can’t claim that I was capable at that age of living up to my noble promises.

To what extent did the co-stars of “Beverly Hills, 90210” engage in an off-screen romance? The answer to that question varies based on whom you speak with.

In a conversation on the Woman on Top podcast in 2020, Brian Austin Green (who is also known as David and Donna) mentioned that they had shared time both on-camera and off-camera. However, according to Spelling’s explanation, there appears to be a discrepancy regarding what exactly transpired between them, as Brian and I have contrasting recollections of the events. He referred to these differing memories as the “young girl version” and the “young boy version,” suggesting that each person has their unique interpretation of the situation.

She went on to say, “It’s quite amusing really, because it seems as though he doesn’t recall that summer when we were together. He claimed ‘I love you,’ and I responded the same. Yet, he recalls nothing of it. He said, ‘We just hung out, we were friends.’ And I simply replied, ‘Alright then.’ Even now, I find myself saying, ‘Alright, okay.’

In a 2015 test on Celebrity Lie Detector, Shannen Doherty’s confession included her admission of being perpetually in love with Brian Green and disclosure of having kissed Luke Perry as well as having a summer romance with Jason Priestley. (Priestley’s reaction was, “I won’t discuss this… It’s none of anyone’s business… Either way…,” he tweeted at the time.)

Prior to his wedding with Blake Lively, the Deadpool actor shared a kiss with a popular ’90s TV personality following their collaboration in the 1996 TV film, Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

In her memoir published in 2013, titled “Melissa Explains It All: Tales from My Abnormally Normal Life,” the actress shared an intriguing detail: On his last day of filming as Seth, Sabrina’s crush, Reynolds gave her a watch. This romantic gesture led to the co-stars sharing a kiss in her hotel room.

She described him as having amazingly soft lips, along with large hands and broad shoulders that made her feel tiny. It served as quite an attraction, despite the fact that he had a strong scent of hair gel.

For quite some time, there have been whispers about a potential romantic relationship between the initial finalists of “American Idol”. Eventually, Clarkson admitted that indeed they had a relationship, although it didn’t start until after their competition against one another had ended.

She clarified in a 2015 episode of “Watch What Happens Live” that they didn’t date during the time when “Idol” was airing, despite rumors suggesting they were dating. However, she disclosed that they did go on some dates while filming their movie, “From Justin to Kelly,” released in 2003.

She added, “Given the amount of time they spend together, I believe they would inevitably start dating. The song ‘Timeless’ from From Justin to Kelly suggests that such feelings are hard to resist!

While filming Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009, Cyrus quietly dated her on-screen love interest.

They revealed their two-month long relationship during a promotion for the Disney film, stating to an Atlanta radio station, “I believe it enhances the movie since it was undeniably genuine.

After breaking up with Zac Efron in 2010, Vanessa Hudgens briefly dated her costar from “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” However, it wasn’t until after their split that news of their relationship became public, during the promotional period for their film.

In a shared interview on an Australian morning program back in 2012, they were questioned, “For how long have the two of you been dating?” or “When did the two of you start dating?

Pause for an eternity and a puzzled interchange of glances ensued, followed by Hutcherson responding, only adding to the already tense atmosphere.

At one time, yes, we were together, but then she hurt me deeply…oh, wait, I’m joking about that.” This sentence conveys the same meaning while sounding more natural and easy to read.
