The pair have been working together on Blue Bloods since 2010

While the pair have developed a close relationship over the past 12 years, none of it would have happened if Donnie hadn't convinced Bridget to join the show. 

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 53-year-old revealed that it had taken some initial convincing to get Bridget on board. He said: 

"I called Bridget Moynahan but she said 'I'm sorry I already turned it down, I'm not gonna do it'. I begged and pleaded and made her an offer she couldn't refuse, which was that I'd give her all my paychecks if we weren't able to shoot in New York so thank god we shot in New York." 

Now fan favourites, viewers can't wait to see what's in store for Danny and Erin Reagan on series twelve of Blue Bloods, and neither can we.
