Tell Me Lies' Grace Van Patten and Jackson White Confirm IRL Romance

As I delve into the heartwarming tales of love that unfolded on the sets of various productions, I can’t help but marvel at the serendipitous encounters that led to lasting connections. It seems as if the silver screen has its own magic, weaving together stories that extend beyond the confines of a script and into the lives of those who breathe life into these characters.


Grace Van Patten and Jackson White are not lying about their connection anymore. 

Without a doubt, the co-stars of “Tell Me Lies,” who have been suggesting a growing romantic involvement since the series premiered in 2022, have finally verified their relationship status. Notably, this pair has shared insights into how they navigate both their on-screen and off-screen dynamics.

In a recent chat I had with ABC News, which they kindly shared on TikTok, I playfully mentioned that my partner and I had our initial tussle under the spotlight for the first time. It was quite an experience, really – we managed to address our differences head-on.

In a more thoughtful tone, Jackson mentioned, “Since there’s such a high level of trust between us, we have the freedom to do as we please together.”

The duo even compared their on-set dynamic as a version of “couple’s therapy.”

Jackson stated, “At work, it seems like you’re arguing loudly or subtly controlling each other. And when the day ends, there’s no energy left. That’s when you can unwind.”

Even though the pair have only recently made their relationship public, they’ve never been secretive about their feelings towards each other. In truth, Jackson had openly expressed his wish to date his co-star soon after the debut of “Tell Me Lies.”

He expressed his wishful expectation about dating Grace during an interview on the “Not Skinny but Not Fat” podcast in 2022. He mentioned that their lives seem intertwined and it’s amazing how many things they have to accomplish together.

As he put it, “All I’m saying is that I’m obsessed with her because she’s f–king amazing.” 

In the same vein, it’s worth mentioning that Grace had always been open about her deep feelings towards Jackson. Back in 2022, she referred to him as her “greatest crush of all time” during an interview with TopMob News.

However, it’s not just them who have expressed affection for each other. Previously, Jackson’s mother, Katey Sagal, has also suggested a romantic involvement between the two.

In his history of romantic entanglements with co-stars, such as Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams, Gosling found himself drawn to Mendes during the filming of “The Place Beyond the Pines”. However, they have successfully maintained a low profile about their relationship since they started dating in 2013.

Since then, the couple has been blessed with two daughters – Esmeralda, aged 8, and Amada, who is 6 years old. Mendes also shared insights on how dating “The Notebook” star influenced her perspective on being a mother.

“For two decades, I’ve put in a great deal of hard work,” the designer for New York & Company stated on Sydney’s Nova 96.9 in October 2020. “I never thought about having children until I fell in love with Ryan. Eventually, things aligned so that I was 40 when I had my first child and 42 when I had my second, which allowed me to balance a career and family.”

And she’s not ruling out a future on-screen collaboration with Gosling. 

She shared with TopMob News her eagerness to collaborate with Ryan once more, recalling their time on set as particularly enjoyable when he was directing. She found the creative process fulfilling while working alongside him and admires his exceptional directing skills, expressing a strong desire for another such experience.

Since their initial romantic encounter on the set of “The Voice” in November 2015, these vocalists have found it hard to spend time apart.

It appears that Shelton and Stefani’s relationship, sparked by a shared experience of ending their previous marriages, seemed to be strong and enduring right from the start.

During an interview with Billboard, Shelton reminisced about his deep feelings for the singer and their mutual assistance during difficult times. He stated, “Gwen was my savior.” He added, “Who else in the world could comprehend enduring a well-publicized divorce from another artist?”

Shelton proposed after five years together in October 2020, and they tied the knot in a small wedding ceremony in July 2021.

As reported by Carson Daly, who served as their wedding officiant, the wedding was a harmonious fusion of rustic charm and elegant sophistication.

I found them to be as sophisticated, polished, and trendy as Gwen is, yet also rustic, down-to-earth, and enjoyable like Blake is. In an interview with Today, I expressed that they simply mesh well together. They’re an unconventional duo, much like pairing a glass of champagne with mouthwatering fried chicken. On paper or on the surface, it may not seem fitting, but it works beautifully. They embody comfort food with elegance, and their union is something everyone cheers for.

The cherished pair initially crossed paths in 1995, as they portrayed romantic leads on the widely watched soap opera, “All My Children”. Subsequently, the daytime talk show host and the actor from “Riverdale” secretly tied the knot in Las Vegas on May 1, 1996.

Consuelos realized quite quickly that Ripa was his match, as he admitted to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.” He explained, “Whenever we went out with work colleagues, the groups of people would gradually shrink until it was just the two of us. I was timid and didn’t make my feelings known boldly at first.”

But Ripa revealed the couple almost split before their wedding.

She shared on the “Comments By Celebs” podcast in 2018 that they initially separated, then reunited right before their surprise wedding. To put it simply, they eloped – they went to Las Vegas and tied the knot.

Over the span of approximately 27 years and three children, their marriage continues to thrive. Interestingly, Ripa and Consuelos now work together again, with Consuelos taking over permanently from Ryan Seacrest as her co-host on Live, a position he assumed in April this year.

Ever since Jennifer, the star of “Jennifer’s Body,” crossed paths with the rapper on their film set back in 2020, she felt that their connection was a unique, one-of-a-kind love story – a “once-in-a-lifetime” romance as she put it.

In a chat with director Randall Emmett on his podcast in July 2020, Fox remembered asking who would be filling an empty seat on set. Emmett replied, “Oh, we’ve just got Machine Gun Kelly,” which made Fox feel uneasy because she sensed that something intriguing or potentially challenging would happen between them, although she wasn’t certain what exactly. She felt it in her gut that something significant was going to come from that encounter.

In the last months of 2019, Fox, who had been married for nine years to Brian Austin Green, referred to someone as her “twin flame.” She expressed that this person is not just a soul mate but something even deeper in their connection.

They’ve been quite open in expressing their affection for each other: Fox appeared in Kelly’s music video, they both got tattoos symbolizing their relationship, walked the red carpet together for the first time as a couple, and got engaged in January 2022.

Although speculations about their separation arose in February when Fox responded to cheating accusations against Kelly in a now-removed Instagram post, they continue to be a couple at present.

Initially, The Americans co-stars didn’t experience that instant, romantic feeling upon their initial encounter, which was a decade prior to their collaboration on the critically-acclaimed FX espionage series.

He admitted on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” that we had crossed paths much earlier in time. In fact, quite tipsy, I asked for her phone number when she was a young and unattached girl, which means I had some idea of her presence even at the age of 26.

A decade had passed and numerous wigs later, Rhys and Russell discreetly started dating in 2014, portraying married KGB agents on screen. Their first child, Sam, was born in May 2016. Russell is also a mother to River Deary and Willa Deary from her earlier marriage.

While they recently teamed up to play Santa and Mrs. Claus for Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles, the beloved Hollywood pair first met on the set of 1968’s The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band.

In a twist of fate that could only be scripted for a romantic comedy, it wasn’t until we crossed paths again during the filming of 1984’s Swing Shift that I found myself smitten. As much as we both swore off dating fellow actors, here we were, caught up in each other’s charm and talent. And just when I thought our love story couldn’t get any more cinematic, we starred together in the 1988 romantic classic, Overboard.

For four decades, Russell and Hawn have been partners. Together, they are parents to Wyatt Russell, while also having children from previous relationships – Oliver and Kate Hudson, as well as Boston Russell.

Back then in 1993, both actors had been through unsuccessful marriages before they joined the set of “Pontiac Moon.” Love wasn’t something either of them were seeking at that time.

Steenburgen shared with Closer that he made it clear to all his friends, without any theatrics but very sincerely, that he was stepping away from relationships. However, their romance blossomed as they portrayed a married couple on screen, with Danson disclosing that they grew closer during a canoe scene.

According to Danson, our strokes were harmonious as we paddled. It was just us hanging out initially, but by the end of our journey, we found ourselves drawn to each other… Life has a peculiar way of unfolding in such instances. When you let go and give in, it often brings unexpected blessings your way.

Back in October 2020, the pair marked their 25th wedding anniversary. The actress from the Book Club movie shared with Closer magazine, “I’m absolutely smitten by him. He never fails to amaze me. He continually captivates me. He makes me laugh more than anyone else.”
