Love may not come easy for the characters on The White Lotus, but in real life, the cast seems to
be doing just fine. From Aubrey Plaza to F. Murray Abraham, these are the cast's actual partners.
Theo James is better known to fans of The White Lotus as businessman Cameron Babcock, who is
married to Daphne. In real life, James is married to fellow actor Ruth Kearny. The pair first met
back in 2012, when they were both students at the same theater school, and married in 2018.
Kearny continues to work as an actor these days, though you may not spot her in many major roles.
The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter, in 2021, but have kept mostly quiet
about their personal lives. However, they have worked as co-stars — they each had roles in the
first season of the PBS series Sanditon. Meghann Fahy stands out as housewife Daphne
Sullivan in the second season of The White Lotus. As Fahy told Harper's Bazaar in December 2022,
she has contemplated her character quite seriously. Fahy explained,
"I always saw her as a person. And I always saw her as a pretty
good person. I mean, I think that the more seriously you take the character,
the more easily you can make that character feel [believable]."
It seems that another part of her life that Fahy takes seriously is
her privacy. Regarding her dating life, the actress has been quite quiet. However,
Fahy was most recently linked to actor Billy Magnussen. The two reportedly met in 2011 when
they both worked on the Hallmark movie The Lost Valentine, though, according to Distractify,
they didn't begin dating until several years later. Magnussen shared a photo of
himself and Fahy in May 2020 on Instagram, but neither has shared a photo of the other since.
Aubrey Plaza is known to fans of The White Lotus Season 2 as Ethan Spiller's wife,
Harper. In real life, she's been married to her husband, Jeff Baena,
since 2021. The pair decided to tie the knot while celebrating their 10th anniversary together,
and the story is as sweet as you might expect. While on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in December
2021, Plaza explained that she told her now husband they should "do something" to mark
ten years together and joked that maybe that something should be getting married. She said,
"We got a little bored one night. We got married and I'll tell you how:
Onehourmarriage.com. That's real, look it up."
While Baena wasn't against the idea, Plaza admitted that he wasn't sure they could
really get married so quickly. After a bit of negotiation, Plaza convinced someone from the
business to come to their home and asked a neighbor, who is a witch, for her blessing.
"We got married on a whim. We literally decided at around 5 p.m., got married at 8:30."
The actress announced the news in May 2021, when she casually referred to Baena as her
"darling husband" in an Instagram post. Will Sharpe's Ethan Spiller is married to
Aubrey Plaza's Harper on The White Lotus Season 2, but in his offscreen life,
Sharpe has been in a relationship with his partner and fellow actor Sophia Di Martino
since 2010. The pair share two children but remain mostly quiet about their relationship.
Di Martino has, however, been more open about being a mom. In December 2021, Di Martino took
to Instagram to confirm that the pair's second child had been born. As she shared,
this explained her absence from the platform. She wrote,
"[I've] been hibernating for a while because I'm not pregnant anymore! Yes,
I've had a baby. This first bit is a wonderful time that is also exhausting and so hard."
Former Sopranos star Michael Imperioli joined The White Lotus in Season 2. In real life,
he has been married to Victoria Chlebowski since 1995. Imperioli shares two children,
Vadim and David Imperioli, with Chlebowski and is also stepfather to Chlebowski's daughter Isabella.
While speaking to NPR in November 2022, Imperioli admitted to the outlet that he
and his wife are enjoying life now that their children have all grown
up and moved out. He also acknowledged that for him, his experience as a parent
has helped him heal moments from his own childhood that were painful. As he put it,
"I really learned a lot about my parents and particularly my father and how difficult it is
to do that. And I was like, oh, that's why this went on, and that's why he did this."
F. Murray Abraham, who plays Bert Di Grasso in The White Lotus Season 2,
has been married to his wife Kate Hannan for nearly 60 years. As Abraham told Clover Health,
they actually tied the knot in Las Vegas for a whopping $16, and he thinks their marriage
has worked for as long as it has because they've enjoyed "good fortune." Hannan, who has multiple
sclerosis, spends more days in bed these days, Abraham explained. The actor told Clover Health:
"That takes a lot of care, and that's cool. It's one of those unfortunate things that
fate has visited upon us. But we're still having a pretty good time together."
Tom Hollander, who plays Quentin in the second season of The White Lotus,
and interior designer Fran Hickman were once engaged. However, back in 2010,
the two ended their relationship without offering much explanation. In August 2020,
the Daily Mail reported that Hollander and Hickman had spent the entire pandemic lockdown living
together at the actor's home. A friend reportedly told the outlet that people who are close to both
Hollander and Hickman are hoping that things go all the way this time. The friend alleged,
"They really love each other. Tom isn't getting any younger.
We're all waiting on him to propose again."
It certainly seemed things were going well a year later when, in July 2021, the two were spotted
enjoying dinner together at Scott's Restaurant in Mayfair, London. While it's unclear if engagement
is again on the horizon for Hollander and Hickman, it appears the two are an item.
