Love and romance are central to the cast members of CIA.
The new FBI spinoff stars Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss as "two unlikely partners" working in the Central Intelligence Agency's New York City offices.
According to the show's official description, the duo "must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength."
The CIA characters might be a mismatch pair, but off-screen, the actors are in their own relationships with their respective long-term partners.
In addition to the CIA cast, the spinoff will feature appearances from familiar FBI faces, like Jeremy Sisto, who has been married since 2009.
Here’s all about the real-life partners of the CIA cast.
