Hallmark Channel Has 16 Actor Couples Who Are Together in Real Life, Though Some Have Sadly Split

Arielle Kebbel and Zach Roerig

CURRENT STATUS: Dating after starring in a Hallmark movie!

Arielle Kebbel and Zach Roerig have actually known each other for years after starring together on The CW’s The Vampire Diaries as Lexi Branson and Matt Donovan, respectively.

It’s unclear how long they’ve been dating, but they recently confirmed their relationship while sharing a kiss at a fan convention.

They co-starred in a 2023 Hallmark film, Love in the Great Smoky Mountains: A National Park Romance, and were photographed at an event together (in the photo seen here) in September of 2024.

CURRENT STATUS: Dating!

Rachael Leigh Cook and Brandon Routh sparked dating rumors in July 2025 when they were spotted holding hands on a movie date.

And that wasn’t the first time they were spotted together. Back in February 2025, the restaurant HomeGrown in Des Moines, Iowa posted a photo of the possible couple dining at the restaurant.

Coincidentally, both Brandon and Rachael have starred in Hallmark Channel movies and they were both scheduled to attend Christmas Con in late 2024, but both had to cancel. People recently confirmed that they’ll both be there in December 2025.
