"Dexter" Brother And Sister Now Husband-Wife

NEW YORK — They play brother and sister on "Dexter." Now in real life, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are husband and wife. Hall's spokesman, Craig Bankey, said on Friday that the couple eloped in California on New Year's Eve. They'll walk the red carpet together at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday _ the first time publicly acknowledging their relationship.

Hall, 37, and Carpenter, 29, just finished the third season of "Dexter," the Showtime series in which Hall plays the murderous title character. They've been quietly dating for about a year and a half.

At their wedding, Carpenter's grandfather's wedding band was attached to her bouquet of white roses.

Yeah, it IS a little weird. But that just means they both have done such a good job as actors. And I just assumed MCH was gay, btwn SFU and the aspects of Dex that fit the stereotype. I guess my assumption says a lot more about me than it does about him.

We're big fans of Michael C. Hall. "Dexter" is one of our favorite shows. Hall is a great actor.

keep it in the family

I'm a fan. But I have to tell you that this item is just a bit freaky. These actors are so brilliantly intense that I wonder how well defined their boundaries are.
I could see art imitating life in the show--in it's last season. Remember--Dexter was adopted.

Congrats to the lovebirds. And keep making one of the best shows on the tube.

Just one thing, though... next season, please bring back the old Dex. We miss the Dark Defender!

Hmm. I didn't even know Hall had gotten divorced from Amy Spanger. Loved him on SFU, and Dexter is an awesome show. Best of luck to him and Jennifer.

They are so good at their roles, that I find it a wee bit disturbing, but not enough to cause me from watching. I love Dexter!

[KillBillV2]

That's weird...But I knew they liked eachother just from watching the show, they had chemistry in a weird way. I LOVE DEXTER!


Especially with Desmond Harrington on it!
