Real-Life Loves
These Are Their Love Stories! All About the ‘Law & Order’ Cast’s Real-Life Romances
Hooked on Law & Order‘s reboot?
With its nuanced cases, shocking twists, and characters who are just too interesting to forget, the new iteration has revamped the classic series, which originally aired from 1990 to 2010. As a fixture in the TV landscape, all the actors attached to the revival are worth watching week after week.
Many of the cast members are rather private, leaving many to wonder about their real-life romances. If you have been curious (since L&O doesn’t usually have the time to focus on love), then Swooon’s got you covered. Scroll down to read more about the real-life loves of the current Law & Order cast.
Law & Order, Season 24, January 16, 8/7c, NBC
Hugh Dancy
From fictional lovers to real-life partners, Hugh Dancy, aka Nolan Price, and Claire Danes made it happen after their 2006 film Evening. In 2009, the two wed in France, and they have been supporting each other ever since.
The couple prefers to be low-key, yet they still come out to support the other’s projects. Danes and Dancy have three kids: Cyrus, Roman, and a daughter who was born in 2023.
Mehcad Brooks
Mehcad Brooks, who portrays Jalen Shaw, and his wife, Frida Brooks, are the epitome of love. Celebrating each other whenever they can, the actor and meditation teacher are very intentional with the energy they put into their relationship and the world. Both of them have active social media accounts and talk frequently about their work, aspirations, and love.
Tony Goldwyn
Having been married since 1987, Tony Goldwyn and his wife, Jane Musky, are coming up on 38 years of marriage in 2025.
The Scandal alum, who joined L&O in Season 23 as DA Nicholas Baxter, and his impressive production designer spouse are quite the Hollywood duo to be reckoned with. Musky even worked on the iconic rom-com When Harry Met Sally.
Musky was also the production designer on Ghost and helped Goldwyn get the role of Carl Bruner. Goldwyn told TODAY that Musky “kept bugging him” about the part until he got his agent to secure him an audition.
Although a private couple, Goldwyn is known to praise Musky in interviews at times. During an appearance on TODAY in 2017, Goldwyn exclaimed, “Jane is just the most incredible human being that I know, and she is just a very salt of the earth person.” He continued, “I knew when I was 21 when I met her, I’d better hang on because I’ll never come across this again.” They share two daughters, Anna and Tess. Both of them work in the entertainment business like their parents.
Reid Scott
Reid Scott tied the knot with his longtime partner, Elspeth Keller, in June 2014. After 10 years of being married, the duo is happier than ever.
The Veep alum, who currently plays Vincent Riley on L&O, and Keller have welcomed two sons, Damon and Conrad. The couple doesn’t share too much with the public, but Keller does occasionally appear on Scott’s social media. From birthday messages to Valentine’s Day posts, Scott’s Instagram is worth a look!
Odelya Halevi
In a funny post in August 2023, Law & Order star Odelya Halevi announced that she and her partner, Aaron Mazor, are “no longer dating.” Instead, the two got engaged.
Displaying a gold band and a hefty diamond, Halevi and Mazor are on their way to getting married. Since that time, the two have not yet married. They were still engaged in July 2024 when she shared a sling of romantic snapshots of her and Mazor and replied, “Not yet. Friends wedding :)” to her fans asking whether they made things official.
Maura Tierney
There’s nothing known about Maura Tierney‘s current relationship status. The veteran actor has portrayed many iconic roles. From Dr. Abby Lockhart in ER to her current character Lt. Jessica Brady on Law & Order. She was previously married to actor-director Billy Morrissette. They tied the knot in 1993, and she filed for divorced in 2006. They did not have any children together.
