The old adage “it’s a small world” couldn’t apply any more than it does to the entertainment industry “family” of The CW Network. Previously known as the WB, The CW is the home of many hit drama series including One Tree Hill, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Arrow and Gossip Girl, just to name a select few off of their long and impressive roster. While fans of one of those shows often turn out to be fans of others, the shows happen to have some deeper connections than just their network and the fans. A surprising amount of celebrity couples who are married, or at least were, have been on CW shows and what is more surprising, some of them weren’t even on the same show. Dating co-stars are common when it comes to many shows and films but these couples jumped right in and tied the knot, and also happened to, at one point, both be connected to at least one CW show.
9. Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford
Following his turn as Clark Kent/Superman in 2006’s Superman Returns, Brandon Routh returned to the world of superheroes in the hit CW show Arrow. He then went on to appear as Ray Palmer/Atom in The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl. After his starring role in Legends of Tomorrow, season three brought a friendly face when his wife Courtney Ford was cast as Nora for seasons 3-5. Of course, Ford was no stranger to The CW having appeared in The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural before. Routh and Ford began dating in 2003 before their engagement in August, 2006. The pair married on November 24, 2007 and welcomed their son in 2012.
