TV Couples Who Dated in Real Life
Chrishell opened up exclusively to Us in May about holding off on expanding their family. “We don’t know [when] yet,” she admitted at the time. “I have a stepdaughter (Justin has a daughter), so we’ve got our hands full with high school.”
The Selling Sunset star joked at the time that Justin was nothing like his TV alter-ego, Kevin Pearson. “Thank God because he wouldn’t be a very good husband,” she quipped. “There’s parts of Kevin that are good, but I don’t think I’d want to be married to him, you know? So luckily, Kevin gets all of his charm, but I get both. I also get a good husband’s side. So I win!”
The Smallville alum, for his part, noted in June that his daughter — whom he referred to as his “best friend” — would remain a “pretty happy kid” whether she became a big sister or not.
