The cast of Nancy Drew’s love lives might have been complicated onscreen, but off screen, many of the stars have found a forever partner.
Fans have been hooked on the CW series since its 2019 premiere — partially because of the ghost encounters and haunting mysteries, but also because of the cast’s sexual chemistry and complicated romances.
As Horseshoe Bay’s resident teen sleuth Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) puts her detective skills to the test each week, her relationship ups and downs make her more relatable. Nancy fell for Ned “Nick” Nickerson (played by Tunji Kasim) early on in the series before romancing a few other locals.
Nick eventually moved on from the redhaired detective and found love with George Fan (Leah Lewis). The twosome got engaged when George thought she had a shortened lifespan due to a spirit sharing her body, but they called it quits (for now) in season 3.
Nancy’s undeniable chemistry with longtime BFF Ace (played by Alex Saxon) became even more noticeable in season 3 while Bess Marvin (Maddison Jaizani) started a new romance of her own with Addy (Rachel Colwell).
Offscreen, the actors’ love lives seem a little less complicated — and definitely don’t include ghost battles, murderers and witches interfering with their relationships. Scroll down to see which Nancy Drew stars are married and who is still on the market:
