In a zombie world, there's not so much time for building relationships.
Although in real life, the actors of Walking Dead have pretty successful personal lives.
Let`s see who the real-life partners of our favorite characters from the show are.
We previously knew Andrew Lincoln only as the lover-boy Mark,
who fell in love with his best friend's fiancée in Love actually.
On Walking Dead he is our fearless leader Rick, who is trying to keep his wife and son safe.
Spoiler alert!
Fans are panicking about the future of the series, as Andrew decided to quit the series after season 9!
Show-runner Angela Kang added that the show tells “the story of the people going forward
because it’s never been a story about just this one man.”
Maybe Andrew is leaving the show to spend more time with his family?
He`s married to actress Gael Anderson.
Gael and Andrew are one of the rare couples in Hollywood who love each other so much despite
being in the entertainment industry.
“She’s magnificent.
She’s in the most honourable profession in the world – she’s a full-time mum,” he said.
Andrew admits that having children was a revelation – "it’s like going through a doorway and
everything is different for ever."
Rick`s best friend on the show is Shane, who nevertheless forms an intense rivalry with
Rick in the second season.
Off screen Jon Bernthal is the total opposite of Shane.
Jon married Erin Angle, a trauma nurse, 8 years ago and is raising three kids with his beloved wife.
The woman standing between the two friends, tearing their hearts apart, is Lori Grimes.
She is difficult and picky on the show.
But in real life, Sarah Wayne Callies is a very loyal and loving wife.
She married Josh Winterhalt, and five years later the couple welcomed a daughter, Keala.
Later on, they adopted a boy, Oakes Wayne, who was born in 2013.
There is one Walking Dead fan who watched all the episodes and was just waiting to join the show.
Guess who?
We are talking about the actor who played the psychopathic, tyrannical leader of the
Saviors - Negan, whom we finally meet in season 6.
This particular fan is, of course, the much-loved hottie, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Hence, his character in the series has been instantly and universally loved.
After a couple of tragic and devastating romances, it seems that Jeffrey finally found 'the one'.
He met Hilarie Burton in 2009 and after a year of dating the two had a son, Augustus.
The couple got married only after four years.
And just recently, in February 2018, Jeffrey and Hilarie welcomed a girl, George Virginia.
The family looks happier than ever and we hope it will stay so.
Glenn Rhee is probably the most adorable character on the show.
He is a cute guy with an exceptionally trusty moral compass.
Did you know that the actor STEVEN YEUN was Sheldon Cooper’s ex-roommate on The Big Bang Theory?
Quite a surprise, ha?
As is Steven`s personal life.
Yeun is an investor in a Korean-Mediterranean fusion restaurant as well as the husband of
photographer Joana Pak.
A couple of years ago, they had a son together.
The badass chick Maggie, who is in love with Glenn on the show, is played by Lauren Cohan.
The two have the perfect chemistry on screen and probably the only love story that has
lasted so long on the show.
And what about her real-life love stories?
The internet is full of rumors about her romance with Steven off the screen.
Although the two are not dating, they are very good friends.
In October 2013, Lauren made clear about her and Steven:
“There are entire websites dedicated to the proof that Steven and I are in a real relationship.
Which is always funny, because it’s not,” she said.
LAUREN is currently single but she once revealed that she had a crush on American actor Jeff Bridges.
She commented: “Jeff Bridges.
It’s not a romantic crush; it’s just kind of an everything crush.
I love him as an actor, I love his voice, I love his smile.
OK, now it sounds romantic — but it’s not!”
Seems that she is spending most of her time on her career and is too busy to think about
her personal life.
Another fearless character on the show is Andrea, played by Laurie Holder.
Apparently, she had a secret affair with her co-star Norman Reedus.
The rumor about their affair spread like wildfire, but she clarified the situation in an interview.
"I think that Norman kind of fuels that fire because he loves to come up and kiss me on
the red carpets, and then I get the backlash because all his teenage fans who love him
come after me and they're like, 'back off that's my man!'"
"No, we love each other.
We are like the best of friends but I think he likes to stir the pot a bit.”
On the night of The Walking Dead PaleyFest in 2013, Laurie was posing for pictures,
and suddenly Norman arrived and planted a big kiss on her lips.
Laurie also kissed him on the cheek.
Was it just a joke made for fans or was there something more?
Did the two actually date after that incident?
It is still unrevealed for sure.
Laurie`s personal life is full of secrets, as we still don`t know whether she is seeing
someone as a long-term partner.
Perhaps she is married to her career!
Norman Reedus, contrary to Laurie, is known for his long-term romance with Diane Kruger since 2016.
There are no rumors about their wedding yet but maybe we will soon see if these two lovebirds
will tie the knot.
Melissa McBride plays a character that has gone through tremendous change during the series.
Originally a meek housewife, Carol overcomes domestic abuse to become a skilled, resourceful
fighter capable of making difficult decisions.
And finally she meets her true love Tyreese.
However, her character's story is nothing like her real life.
Melissa seems to be a reserved person and has chosen not to speak about her personal
matters in the media.
She has never made tabloid headlines with rumors or information about her dating life or boyfriend.
Is she secretly married?
The fans can only guess.
Her lover on the show, on the other hand, is not much of a mystery at all.
Tyreese, who is played by Chad L. Coleman, was the classy family type.
After 11 years of marriage to Sally Stewart, however, they went on to divorce.
He is presumed to be living a single life at present.
The actor is very active on his social media accounts.
Who knows, maybe one lucky fan will soon receive a positive answer on a date request.
The chances are high!
Let`s now talk about the boy who in season 8 turned into a real man.
Yes, of course we are talking about Carl Grimes.
Chandler Riggs was barely 10 when he was offered to play Grimes.
Little did Riggs know that the role will bring him good fortune.
Interestingly, Riggs is very humble and organizes a fan meet every year.
Riggs' romantic life has been quite popular too.
In 2015, he began dating a beautiful lady named Brianna Maphis.
And what about crazy Michonne?
We are pretty impressed by her katana-wielding scenes.
Is she the same extreme woman in daily life?
You`re probably wondering where else you have recently seen her.
Well, it must be her iconic and powerful role in Marvel`s Black Panther.
Danai Gurira is actually similar to her characters.
She is an activist of Zimbabwean ancestry.
Danai is a fan of sports like field hockey and tennis.
She loves swimming and she also runs track.
The actress is presumably one of those stars who loves to keep her personal life under wraps.
Possibly, Danai is single.
But co-star Norman Reedus played a trick on her as well, as with Laurie Holder.
Speculation is that Norman locked lips with Danai while on set.
Apparently, the guy just likes to have some fan.
Danai neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, but that incident was surely not anything serious.
For a man who claims to know a cure for the walker virus, Eugene is cowardly and inefficient
when dealing with walkers, but he is very smart.
What do we know about his personal life?
The actor Josh McDermitt is an active member of a Los Angeles-based improvisational comedy group.
Though, the funnyman hasn’t been quite open about his personal life and relationships.
Some have reported that he is married, whereas others claim he is single.
There are also some rumors that he is a gay.
Josh posted some photos to his Instagram page where he was seen trying to kiss a guy, with
a caption that indicated that he loved the person.
There’s no actual proof to back any of the claims.
Sonequa Martin-Green as Sasha Williams is Tyreese's fiery younger sister and a former firefighter.
As a pretty reckless sniper, Sasha's character grabbed the attention of viewers.
In real life, Sonequa is a married lady, who is raising a beautiful boy with her beloved
husband, actor Kenric Green.
Also a tough, focused, and very capable survivor on the show is Rosita, played by Christian Serratos.
Serratos is an animal activist.
She has posed for a number of PETA campaigns, promoting a vegan lifestyle.
Last year the actress revealed that she welcomed her first baby girl with her longtime boyfriend,
New Politics singer David Boyd.
We wish the couple happy parenthood.
It is time to reveal the personal life of the handsome recruiter who invited Rick's
group to Alexandria.
Aaron, played by Ross Marquand, has stolen lots of women`s hearts.
The man is georgeous! Ross is very reluctant to speak about his past relationships which
is why not much of him is known to the public.
He is very focused on his career at present as he is a growing actor.
Apparently, Ross is currently single.
There have been no rumors about him having an affair.
When it comes to interviews, he seems too shy to speak on his personal life.
So it mostly remains a mystery.
We also would like to mention the beautiful Alanna Masterson.The actress plays the primary
supply runner, Tara, who wanted to become a police officer.
Alanna is currently in a relationship with Brick Stowell.
While they haven’t planned on getting married, the couple has a daughter, Marlowe Masterson.
Then there is the ruthless and reluctant member of the Saviors, Dwight, who we actually hate.
But the actor Austin Amelio is much, much nicer than his character.
He told AMC he’s gotten “a couple of middle fingers” thrown at him and the classic “I
love to hate you” thing from fans.
“If they hate me, I think I’m doing my job,” Amelio said.
In fact, this was the first big television role for Amelio.
Before he was cast as Dwight on the AMC hit, Amelio had never seen the show — and didn’t
even own a television.
Amelio can’t get Dwight’s signature torture song, Easy Street, out of his head.
The actor simply can’t stand it.
“It’s the worst song ever,” Amelio told.
About his love affairs, practically nothing is known.
Perhaps girls are afraid of his character?
Oh come on, the man is great!
We hope to hear some love news from Amelio soon!
This is all the news from the post-apocalyptic zombie-filled world for now.
