After playing a fairy tale couple on Once Upon a Time, Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin soon sparked a real-life romance.
“I mean, after the read-through or the pilot. Yeah, it was pretty soon,” Dallas exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2020 of when he knew Goodwin was The One. “I think it happened very organically and actors playing opposite each other never fall in love off sets, do they? That never happens in this business. But, two kids later we’re still going strong, so it’s a great thing.”
He added: “Just look at Ginnifer Goodwin. Look at her mind and the way it works. It’s like, how could you not [fall in love]?”
As the twosome began filming plenty of romantic scenes throughout the first season of OUAT, they sparked a secret romance off-camera. After nearly one year of dating, Dallas — who was previously married to Lara Pulver — proposed. They secretly wed in April 2014.
Dallas and Goodwin went on to welcome sons Oliver and Hugo in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
