The Rookie is full of steamy on-screen couples that we love to get invested in, but what about the love stories from behind-the-scenes? The stars of the police procedural series all have interesting love lives that are just as juicy as their fictional relationships from the show. Get to know the real life loves of The Rookie cast and see who is married, dating or single! Eric Winter and Allison Ford Eric Winter, who portrays Tim Bradford, was previously married to fellow actress Allison Ford in 2000 and eventually they tied the knot in 2001.

Jones (Wade Grey) walked down the aisle with his previous wife, Nancy Jones. They met at a Los Angeles restaurant where Nancy worked as a waitress a couple of years prior to their wedding.

During 'The Rookie' panel at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, actor Nathan Fillion was serenaded by Zander Hawley on stage in front of the Ballroom 20 audience.

Brown and Dan Fogelman Preview 'Paradise' Season 2 With Shailene Woodley as a Tour Guide at Elvis Presley's Graceland 'I have friends who are good actors in their own right. They're calling me saying, 'Hey, man, my daughter just turned 11, and she and her friends are all crazy about 'The Rookie.' Can I please have a birthday with you?' I love that,' revealed Fillion. 'I think that ultimately television, specifically television with lots of episodes with characters that you can really invest in, has become comfort food for people,' says Hawley. 'There's 1,000 shows on the air but it does feel like people sort of grab lots of shows that they look forward to watching. They're an escape. I take that very seriously. It doesn't mean that bad things don't happen on our show, that there aren't stakes, that we don't go dark sometimes. People really look to us as an important storm.' Fillion and Hawley spoke about the upcoming season, which is set to release in 2026. During the panel, a sizzle reel revealed that the LAPD will be making a trip to Prague in the Season 8 premiere. The footage shows the new and returning cast members, as well as teases what's next for John Nolan. 'In the first episode, we go to Prague and [John] becomes James Bond in the episode. We have a lot of exciting stories for [the cast] this season.' Google TV is the presenting sponsor of the Comic-Con Variety Studio.

'I cried no less than three times': Superman star Brandon Routh showers David Corenswet with praise
Brandon Routh "cried no less than three times" during Superman. The 45-year-old actor – who played the Man of Steel in 2006's Superman Returns – showered Superman star David Corenswet, 32, with praise after he watched the DC comic book movie, and said he was "fantastic" in the iconic role. Speaking with Variety about Superman, Routh said: "It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. I think David is fantastic. I cried no less than three times. "I see this in a different way. I come at it from a different perspective. I really got into it as I'm watching him navigate those tricky Superman moments in the first conversation with Lois and Clark in the apartment. "And then all of the family stuff for me really hit. It's a big movie. There's a lot in there. I have to go see it again." Looking to the future of the DC Universe (DCU), The Rookie star said he was "really excited" to see what was next for the studio. He said: "I really am excited for the potential for the DC Universe. A successful launch with this is just good for everybody who wants more of what DC has to offer. "There are a lot of great properties that can be explored." Superman – which was directed by James Gunn – follows Clark Kent (Corenswet) as he balances his human and Kryptonian lives, all while Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) does everything in his power to bring the Man of Steel down. Recently, Corenswet revealed he had exchanged letters with former Superman actors Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin – though neither wanted to give him any "tips" about playing the hero. He told Heart: "I had the pleasure of exchanging letters with two previous Supermans, Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin. Both of them, interestingly, sort of said in their own words, 'I'm not gonna try to give you any tips.' "And I think that's a very Superman thing - Superman's not so much for giving advice or dictating how other people should be." Although they didn't give him any advice, the Superman actors did send The Twisters star some words of encouragement. Corenswet continued: "They really just conveyed to me an encouragement and a sense of, you know, have fun with it, which I think is Superman's way of doing it too. "They were very encouraging and we had a lovely exchange."

Screen Queen TV Reviews: The Rookie, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Institute, Bookish and Lively Vs Baldoni
As someone who gets paid to watch television, I like to think I'm something of an expert — not a lot passes me by. But I'm ashamed to say this long-running series, about a mature-age rookie policeman (played by perennial favourite Nathan Fillion) and his colleagues, sailed straight past me. Which is odd, because it's been on air since 2018 and streams in Australia on no less than three services. I know! What? And HOW? It wasn't until I recently hit the streets of suburban Perth that I even realised The Rookie was a thing . Ever on the search for a good yarn, I took to the streets to vox pop the good people of my home city to find out what they were watching, and it was there that I discovered every second person was inhaling this show. What was stranger, it appeared love for it crossed race, age, gender and socio-economic demographics. Intrigued, I figured I should take a look — and actually, I kinda liked it. It felt a little bit like that other beloved long-running series, Law & Order. It's a crime procedural with a tune-in-and-tune-out flavour to it: you can dip in and out each episode to enjoy the stand-alone stories, but like that other show, it has some really well-drawn characters whose story arcs are enough to keep you interested through the seasons. Turns out, there are plenty ahead for me to dive into — season six is dropping this week on Disney Plus, and 7Plus is up to date with all seasons and has all episodes, with the most recent seventh season imminent (they will have this exclusively for a year). So it looks like I have roughly 125 episodes to get across. Better get my skates on! This third and final season sees Belly finishing up her junior year at college and setting off to reunite with everyone's favourite brothers. Who truly has her heart? Conrad or Jeremiah? Or perhaps neither? Over three seasons I've adored spending summers in this idyllic world, and I'm bursting with anticipation to see how producers wrap up Jenny Han's trilogy of novels for the small screen. Word on the street is that it differs from the books — colour me intrigued! Sorry, not sorry: I adore this teen drama. Fifteen-year-old me can't get enough. Honestly, I've never met a Stephen King novel I didn't love. So I'll be tuning in to see how this tale, about a boy who's mysteriously kidnapped and sent to live at a strange facility, translates to the small screen. Bonus points: Mary-Louise Parker stars. Big Sherlock-shaped hole in your life since Cumberbatch went on to bigger and better things? Fill it with this period crime drama, set in 1946 London. It's from the same creator, so chances are it will have some of the flavour. This is getting lots of buzz. Love yourself a bit of Hollywood tea? You'll no doubt have the best china laid out and ready for this deep dive into one of Tinseltown's most explosive feuds. Features new interviews from friends and former colleagues on both sides. Pour me out a big cup.
