They go way back! Lauren Graham and Peter Krause began dating while starring as siblings on Parenthood, but the couple knew each other for years before things turned romantic.
Not only did the duo appear on the same sitcom — Caroline in the City — in the ‘90s, at which point they struck up a friendship, but they also presented together at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in the 2000s. It took a while for their mutual attraction to become evident, though.
Flash forward to 2010: Graham and Krause landed the roles of sister Sarah Braverman and brother Adam Braverman in the beloved NBC drama Parenthood.
“We couldn’t stop talking,” the actress told Good Housekeeping in her January 2017 cover story of how their relationship evolved. “Not about ourselves, but about the world and books and family.”
Krause and Graham proved they were serious about each other early on in their courtship. “Once we got together, there was no game play[ing],” she explained. “It was like, ‘You like me, and I like you.’ It gave me an understanding of life: This is how things happen, and it’s completely random.”
Despite the pleasant outcome, the Gilmore Girls alum was hesitant to jump into a relationship with her coworker. “At our age we’d probably both been through ‘showmances’ that went south and made work an uncomfortable place to be,” she wrote in her 2016 book, Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between).
However, their cautious approach could not put out their spark. “Ultimately our mutual wariness gave way — it just sort of happened,” she recalled.
Now, the pair keep a relatively low profile, with the occasional cameo in one another’s projects and red carpet appearance to assure fans that their romance is still going strong.
“It’s not a big, loud life,” Graham noted in Good Housekeeping. “We have a lot of neighbors, people come by, we’re with Peter’s son [Roman, whom he shares with ex Christine King] a lot and we keep it small.”
The twosome eventually added a rescue dog named Mochi to their family. “Today our dog went to her first puppy school class and she basically hid in a corner while the other puppies jumped all over one another like they were at a fun party,” Graham told The New York Times in February 2020. “I choose to think this is a sign that she is deep and introspective and wise beyond her years.”
News broke in June 2022, however, that the twosome had secretly called it quits in 2021.
The Six Feet Under alum had a one-episode appearance on Caroline in the City in season 1. The Because I Said So star, for her part, was a recurring guest star and happened to show up in the same episode, which aired in November 1995. “She had me move some furniture into her apartment for her back then,” the actor explained during a March 2017 appearance on Live With Kelly. “I didn’t catch the signal.” Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock

Graham and Krause began dating in 2010 while costarring on Parenthood. “Nobody knew about it for a while because we like to be at home, cooking and not going out,” she told Redbook in her October 2010 cover story. “I’ve also been really protective of it because it’s important that you can buy us as brother and sister on the show.” Chris Pizzello/AP/Shutterstock
The Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist star addressed her future plans with the Catch alum during a March 2014 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I don’t know! We are really happy,” she raved. “I feel like close to five years in Hollywood, it’s like, aren’t we married already really? It’s good the way it is.” Jim Smeal/BEI/Shutterstock

Graham gave a rare glimpse into her home life with Krause in a February 2020 piece for The New York Times. “I love crossword puzzles and word and spelling games of any kind, but so does Peter, so we have an agreement: I get the crossword in the Sunday New York Times, but he gets the one in The Week. He gets the Spelling Bee in The Times and I get the Sudoku in The Week,” she said of their typical Sunday. “We listen to music or ‘This American Life’ and pass the papers back and forth and get away from the phones for a few hours.” She also detailed her affliction with being “easily distracted,” especially when it comes to the internet. “Peter blames some of it on being a Pisces,” she revealed. “‘One fish goes this way, the other fish goes that way,’ he’ll say when I leave the refrigerator door open for the millionth time.” Eric Charbonneau/Shutterstock; JOHN NACION/startraksphoto.com
Graham revealed during an April 2021 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that her relationship with Krause was tested after they spent nearly five months apart as he quarantined with his son amid the coronavirus pandemic. “I think the reentry was more difficult,” she explained of returning from work in Vancouver. “It was more like they were the married couple, and I was the person who … they were like, ‘We don’t do it that way anymore.’ They were like, ‘No, no, no, this is how things happen.’” Tony DiMaio/startraksphoto.com
