Lit Up With Love! ‘Fire Country’ Stars & Their Real-Life Romances
Ever wondered who your favorite actors are spending their private time with? Or do you prefer to live in the illusion that they are just the characters they portray on screen? If you are part of the first group and adore Fire Country, prepare for a deep dive into the stars of the fiery drama.
The show, currently in its third season, is one of CBS’ hottest shows — literally. After putting out fires on screen, who do the stars go home to? Scroll below to read about the partners and dating histories of the Fire Country‘s actors.
Fire Country, Season 3 Return, Friday, January 31, 9/8c, CBS
Max Thieriot and Lexi Murphy
Can someone turn Max Thieriot and Lexi Murphy’s love story into a rom-com, please? Meeting each other miles away in the Caribbean in 2005 as teenagers, they realized that both of them grew up in Northern California.
They never lost touch, and Thieriot surprised her seven years later when he proposed at the same spot where they first met. She immediately accepted, and their married life began a year later in 2013. Since then, the couple welcomed two kids: Beaux and Maximus.
Billy Burke and Cheyenne Carson
Billy Burke and his girlfriend, Cheyenne Carson, have been together since 2019. Pretty private about their dating life, the two seem to shy away from most public acknowledgments or events. Yet, as of now, it appears that the two are still happily enjoying their time together. The Twilight dad was previously married to Pollyanna Rose, but they divorced in 2017. They share a daughter named Bluesy LaRue.
Kevin Alejandro and Leslie de Jesus Alejandro
After two decades of being married, Kevin Alejandro and his wife, Leslie de Jesus Alejandro, are still as thrilled to be together as ever before. They met in 2002, and the couple made things official in 2004. Four years later, a baby was on the way, son Kaden Michael.
Alejandro captioned her 20th anniversary post with, “The best decision I ever made started with this first “YES.” They have previously worked on projects together, most notably the short film Adult Night.
Michael Trucco and Sandra Hess
Sandra Hess and Michael Trucco‘s relationship originated in the previous century. Yup, that’s right. They met each other in 1997. Both of them portrayed lieutenants in the series Pensacola: Wings of Gold.
Although the show only lasted for three seasons, their relationship flourished well into the new millennium. They tied the knot in 2009, and the couple is still very much in love in 2024.
Morena Baccarin and Ben McKenzie
Fire Country star Morena Baccarin, aka Mickey Fox, and Ben McKenzie have known each other for quite some time. The two got introduced to each other on the set of The O.C. in the early ’00s, yet it wasn’t until they worked more closely on Gotham in 2014 that sparks started flying. McKenzie even admitted to not remembering their early interactions.
Be that as it may, the two moved on from that and married in 2017. They parent their two kids alongside Baccarin’s son, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Austin Chick.
Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Padalecki
Meeting on the set of Supernatural, actor couple Jared and Genevieve Padalecki, must be grateful for the CW show.
The Gilmore Girls cast member, who plays Camden Casey on Fire Country, even sneakily remembered that their first scene together was one where his other half was dressed solely in her lingerie. Afterward, the two worked alongside each other on multiple other projects such as Walker. They have three kids. Sons, Thomas Colton and Austin Shepherd, and daughter, Odette Elliott.
Jules Latimer and Kat Cunning
Although neither of them has spoken openly about their relationship in interviews, Jules Latimer, who plays Eve Edwards, and Kat Cunning have shown up at events together.
Walking the red carpet for the premiere of The Substance was just one endeavor. Latimer also honored Cunning with a social media post for her birthday on November 12. In the slideshow, Latimer shared a photo where she’s kissing Cunning. “I love you,” Latimer wrote.
Leven Rambin and Dawson Smith
Grey’s Anatomy alum Leven Rambin, who plays ex-con Audrey James, and Austin-based photographer Dawson Smith met on a dating app, which is she revealed on her Instagram when she captioned a post, “Glad I swiped right on your a** that time.” Rambin had previously joked “Started from the Bumble now we here.” Rambin used to be married to fellow actor Jim Parrack, but they got a divorce in 2017.
Diane Farr
“I can’t do this this way. I’m done with domestic partnerships,” Diane Farr candidly admitted in a personal essay published by Elle. The Fire Country star divulged that she does have a boyfriend but doesn’t ever want to be tied to another person he way she was with her previous husband, Seung Yong Chung. Even toward the end of that partnership, she realized that some parts of domestic life weren’t necessarily made for her.
Now, Farr has found her rhythm. No longer abiding by the rules of society, she is sticking to her guns that a relationship is “the icing in my life—not the foundation.” The actress has three children with her ex-husband.
Stephanie Arcila
Stephanie Arcila is a little more private about her personal life than her onscreen character Gabriela Perez. She has not disclosed any information about her relationship status.
Jordan Calloway
Like his former Fire Country hookup, Gabriela Perez, the actor who plays Jake Crawford (Jordan Calloway) is just as private when it comes to his personal relationships. Never opening up about a potential partner, Calloway is fine with fans not knowing everything about him.
