Admittedly, I'm a big sucker for when on-screen couples start dating IRL: Glee's Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, All My Children's Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa, KELSO AND JACKIE. And now, I have another fictional romantic pair that I can add to the reality column—Madam Secretary's Tea Leoni and Tim Daly are an item, People confirms.
*The pair play married couple (and parents of annoying kid-geniuses) Elizabeth and Henry McCord on the show, but off-screen, Leoni and Daly have only been dating since the summer, according to People, when she was spotted at his performance in Red in Dorset, Vermont, over July Fourth weekend. Leoni, 48, officially divorced David Duchovny, her husband of 17 years, in August. Daly, 58, has been divorced from his ex-wife, Amy Van Nostrand, since 2010. *
I'm hoping that as their real-life relationship progresses, their on-screen chemistry gets a little boost—because as much as they do and say the right things to each other on paper, there's something about the McCords that can feel a little stale (anyone agree?). What do you guys think of Leoni and Daly together? And who are some of your favorite on- and off-screen couples?
