Angela Bassett

Angela Bassett has played LAPD patrol sergeant Athena Grant-Nash for eight seasons and counting, and we couldn't imagine the series without her. 

In real life, Angela has been married to her husband, Courtney B. Vance, for over two decades. The pair met in 1980 and later tied the knot in 1997.

Courtney and Angela share twins, Bronwyn and Slater, and the couple became empty nesters in 2024 as their kids headed off to college.

Angela said of their kids: "They both play the piano and rap and play guitar, so they have a little musical interest that I drill into them, that I insist upon!"

Peter Krause

Playing Athena's husband, Robert "Bobby" Nash, is actor Peter Krause who is also known for his roles in The Catch and Parenthood. He was previously in a relationship with Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham before they split in 2021.

They first met in 1995 when they appeared alongside each other in a sitcom and struck up a romance on the set of the first season of Parenthood. Peter has yet to reveal if he is currently dating anyone.  

Prior to that, Peter was with actress Christine King, with whom he shares a son named Roman, born in 2001. Roman has remained out of the spotlight for most of his life.

Oliver Stark

Fan favorite Evan 'Buck' Buckley is played by British actor Oliver Stark. The 32-year-old actor met Marvel actress Hannah Gottesman on Instagram and made things official after Oliver relocated from London to LA. Opening up about their relationship, he told People: "I came here for about three weeks and then never went home. We met at the airport and moved in together." 

It is not clear if they are still together.

Aish

Aisha Hinds

Aisha Hinds, who plays paramedic Henrietta Wilson on the series, tied the knot with her partner, Silky Valentine in May 2022 in a gorgeous Grenada ceremony.

Talking to Essence Magazine, she said of their special engagement: "That definitely was a day of unexpected joy. He completely surprised me. He did it on my birthday. Because of 2020, I had no plans to have a plan. I was pulling back the plans."

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Former child star Jennifer Love Hewitt stars as Buck's sister Maddie Han in the series. The actress has had several high-profile relationships over the years, including John Mayer, Patrick Wilson and Joey Lawrence. She was previously engaged to her Ghost Whisperer co-star Ross McCall who she dated between 2005 and 2008. 

After the couple split, she struck up a romance with Brian Hallisay, whom she met on the set of The Client List.

The couple married in 2013. 

The same year Jennifer and her partner welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Autumn. The pair also share two sons, seven-year-old Atticus and a baby boy, Aiden, who was born in September 2021.

In recent years Jennifer has began to share pictures of her kids, and they all appeared in her 2024 Lifetime film, The Holiday Junkie

Kenneth Choi

Sadly, not much is known about Howard 'Chimney' HGan actor Kenneth Choi's personal life. The 52-year-old actor prefers to keep his personal life out of the spotlight and doesn't even use social media! 

He also has never publicly discussed his past relationships, meaning his dating history is a mystery.

While the couple have had to postpone their wedding plans as a result of the pandemic, in January 2021, they welcomed their second child, a daughter.

It is unclear when they tied the knot but the couple broke up in 2023, and Ryan has spoken of raising his children post-divorce.
