Here’s how the hit show became the backdrop for real-life love stories.

Supernatural, the beloved TV show with a great mix of fantasy, horror, and drama, didn't just hook fans all over the world — it also sparked some real-life romances among its stars. Besides all the spooky and exciting things that happen in the show, it has also played cupid for some of its actors.

Ruth Connell and Rob Benedict

Ruth Connell and Rob Benedict, who both starred in Supernatural, ended up getting pretty close while working on the show. It seems like spending all that time together on set helped their relationship really bloom.

In 2019, Benedict divorced his ex-wife, Mollie Benedict, he’s been with since 1995. Though Ruth nor Rob have not gotten married yet, Benedict himself confirmed their romance (via The SDR Show podcast), but evidence of their relationship surfaced through their joint appearances and social media interactions even before that.
