When Beth Behrs got married in 2018, one of her bridesmaids was none other than on-screen BFF
Kat Dennings. Turns out the 2 Broke Girls stars are also serious besties in real
life. Want to learn more about their off-screen relationship? Keep watching.
On 2 Broke Girls Max and Caroline have a sort of opposites attract, yin and yang dynamic.
And Dennings credits their onscreen friendship with the relationship the two share offscreen.
Dennings told a panel at the Paley Center For Media's PaleyFest in 2013:
"Beth and I genuinely love each other and are best friends in real life
and that probably reads. It's not like you think these two
girls are faking that they love each other, we really do love each other."
Dennings even suggested that their friendship has had a hand in the success of the show,
telling the panel:
"That's probably a part of it — that it feels real and genuine, which it is."
Behrs agreed, adding,
"All of our cast really gets along well. And you know,
Kat and I are really great friends and I think you can see that chemistry on-screen,
and I hope that's why people watch. Because we're having a good time and I think that shows."
Although 2 Broke Girls was eventually canceled, when the show first debuted,
it was an unlikely hit from the jump. As Variety reported back in 2012,
2 Broke Girls was, quote, "crass and dirty" but also loaded with feeling, too.
"A date? Isn't that a waste of time? I mean,
you guys already have sex so often I took a pregnancy test."
Its biggest selling point, naturally, was lovable duo Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs,
whose instant, irresistible chemistry sold the show's clunkier moments. Dennings gushed,
"With every episode Max and Caroline get closer and with every episode Beth and I get closer."
Behrs went even further, sharing,
"From the moment we first read together, we definitely connected."
She added that the two actors were experiencing everything about being
on a burgeoning comedy hit together, which made it so much easier. Likewise, Behrs noted,
"We're the only two who understand the line load and how physically taxing this can be."
The actor even suggested they were growing alongside their characters, which proved
to be true considering their friendship lived on even after 2 Broke Girls died out.
"You love every culture. You salute the flags at IHOP when we walk by."
Finding love is hard but, luckily for Kat Dennings, her BFF dabbles in matchmaking
on the side. As People reported in 2015, the actor's 2 Broke Girls co-star set Dennings up
with famous friend Josh Groban. Beth Behrs had always envisioned them making a good couple but,
as she explained, Dennings was never not in a relationship. Once they were both
single at the same time, it apparently didn't take much persuading for either one of them.
Groban acknowledged his laidback relationship with Dennings,
admitting an ideal date night for them involved wearing onesies and binge-watching Shark Tank.
Dennings and Groban dated for a couple years before splitting in 2016,
per E! News. The actor later got engaged to boyfriend and musician Andrew W.K. in 2021.
Naturally, although she didn't set them up, Behrs was thrilled for her former colleague.
Aside from starring on a hit show together, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs found common
ground — quite literally — in a shared hobby. In a 2021 interview with PopCulture,
Behrs revealed that, although the two ladies hadn't seen each other in a while due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, they were keeping in touch and, in particular, regularly sharing gardening tips.
Though, as Behrs admitted, Dennings is the superior gardener. In fact,
in another chat with The List, the actor confirmed the two were texting constantly. Behrs shared:
"I was just talking to her the other day about our gardens,
because she's the gardening expert. So she's been my go-to with trying to figure out
issues in my own garden. I was like, 'How do you sow a seed? What do I do?'"
Dennings was Behrs' bridesmaid
Beth Behrs and actor boyfriend Michael Gladis married in a rustic, picturesque ceremony in
Victor, Idaho in July 2018. The blushing bride donned a stunning lace Monique Lhuillier gown,
while the bridal party wore Joanna August. And, unsurprisingly, Behrs' 2 Broke Girls co-star Kat
Dennings was on bridesmaid duties for the big day. Prior to tying the knot,
Behrs had a bridal shower surrounded by her favorite ladies,
with her former colleague sharing a sweet group shot to Instagram with the caption,
"Showering @bethbehrs with all our love today."
Behrs posted about it on Instagram too, gushing,
"Man, I really felt the love today."
While appearing on Conan together, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs demonstrated just how close they
are by gushing extensively about each other, cracking one another up, and regaling their
host with hilarious stories about adventures both on set and off. However, when Conan O'Brien
wondered whether anything annoys them about each other, all hell broke loose. At first,
the ladies demurred, refusing to point anything out. Then, after some light ribbing,
Dennings admitted the one thing they absolutely do not find common ground on is theater.
Behrs is completely obsessed with theater, but Dennings has no interest, particularly when it
comes to musical theater. In fact, Behrs stated that the WandaVision star, quote,
"hates live theater." Dennings explained she can get onboard with a play, but once
the actors start belting songs, she's out. Behrs, meanwhile, revealed she can't deal with cartoons
since, quote, "real people" aren't performing, which Dennings has a hard time understanding.
Since 2 Broke Girls ended after six seasons in April 2017, both Dennings and Behrs have been
busy with their own projects. Dennings starred in the Hulu series Dollface, on which she also
served as an executive producer. She also appeared in the Disney+ series WandaVision
and can be found in the comedy Friendsgiving. As for Behrs, she's stayed in the CBS family,
appearing on the sitcom The Neighborhood alongside Cedric the Entertainer.
As for a 2 Broke Girls reunion,
it's definitely not off the table. Dennings said in an appearance on PEOPLE Now in November 2019:
"Oh my god, I would. I don't think anyone has ever [...] broached that topic with me,
I would! I think it would be fun, like a reunion!"
And where would a reunion find Max and Caroline?
That's difficult to speculate, but most likely, still BFFs.
