Debra Messing, Will Chase & Other TV Stars Who Dated Their Co-Stars (PHOTOS)

Debra Messing may be hooking up with her "Smash" co-star Will Chase, but she's hardly the only TV star to find love on set. Back in 2003, sparks flew for co-stars Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody on the set of "The OC," and who could ever forget Joanie (Erin Moran) and Chachi's (Scott Baio) real-life romance that was worthy of a spin-off?

Plus, only in the world of TV is it ever acceptable to fall in love with your small-screen brother. Just ask Katherine Heigl, who dated her "Roswell" on-screen sibling Jason Behr in 2000. Meanwhile, Lauren Graham and her current boyfriend Peter Krause, who plays her TV brother Adam Braverman on "Parenthood," have been spotted vacationing in Venice together.

Take a look at some of these other TV stars who have found love on set.

With Katherine Heigl she did not only date Jason Behr she was also engaged to him for a period of time. She even dated Brendan Fehr from Roswell for a short time I guess before he started to had the long term thing that he had with Majandra Delfino from the show to.

And if I am not mistaken I believe Jason Behr was engaged to Katherine to different times

Having all these people that date, 'love', and marry in the Hollywood crowd is really something. Seems to me to be like the stereotypical West Virginia incest that has always been so funny. Wha a bunch a wierdos that I don't really care about.

Many years ago Peter Fonda was starring in and producing a film in which he intended on casting his real-life sister Jane as his lover, a part that involved simulated sex scenes. He was talked out of it by other interested parties on the grounds that it would add "incest to injury."

Having a relationship onscreen between costars is the easy part. Perpetuating it, fostering it, promoting it, that's the hard part. Generally, the Hollywood crowd sticks to what is easy. They trade each other in a lot quicker than you do a leased car.

You forgot that Kirk actually dated Julie McCullough (who played Julie on "Growing Pains") before Chelsea joined the show. It ended badly once he became full of himself, er..."born again".

Yeah! Notify TMZ's producer/director/"reprorter"/lawyer that there's a few thing overlooked.

I had the same reaction. They would have to be the most successful couple, right up their with Kirk Cameron and his wife, having losted 20+ years.

Yep and didn't Sarah Michelle Gellar meet Freddie Prinze Jr. while filming "I know what you did last summer"?

I think that they limited this article to people who met during TV shows, otherwise the list would run into the hundreds (if not thousands).

The article is "TV star's who date(d) while filming the show"
