Meet the Real-Life Loves of the ‘Law & Order’ Cast

Hugh Dancy and Claire Danes

Dancy, who portrays Executive ADA Nolan Price, has been in a relationship with Danes for nearly 20 years.

The pair first met on the set of Evening in 2006, where they played fictional love interests. In September 2009, the couple wed in a private ceremony in France.

“Marriage is wonderful. It’s challenging … and it just keeps getting deeper,” Danes told Net-A-Porter’s digital fashion magazine The Edit (via Entertainment Tonight) in December 2015. “I have this incredible security. It’s a huge asset to have a partnership with someone you trust and admire, and want to make out with.”

Dancy and Danes are also the proud parents of two sons, Cyrus Michael Christopher Dancy and Rowan Dancy, and a daughter whose name has not yet been publicly revealed.

The couple have worked together before. Aside from their on-set meeting, Dancy guest-starred on Danes’ Homeland during its final season — and Law & Order isn’t off the table, either. As a teenager, Danes was featured in a season 3 episode of the show, and Dancy would love to have his wife back for more.

“I would be entirely open to [it]. I can talk [to her] and ask her,” he told Entertainment Tonight in March 2023. “It’s a nice [idea].”

Odelya Halevi and Aaron Mazor

Halevi plays ADA Samantha Maroun, the strong, opinionated prosecutor.

While fans haven’t seen much of the character’s personal life, Halevi has been in a relationship with real estate agent Aaron Mazor since 2022.

In August 2023, Halevi and Mazor got engaged, and the actress shared the happy news on Instagram.

“We’re no longer dating,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos showing off her ring.

In May 2025, the couple got married in Tel Aviv, Israel, where Halevi was born and raised.

“For me, Israel isn’t just a place; it’s home. It holds some of my most cherished memories. The people, the energy, the land — it’s where my heart always returns,” she told PEOPLE. “Aaron, who’s also Jewish, has come to love it deeply as well.”

Looking to the future, the actress added, “Our love will continue to grow through daily choice, shared purpose and lasting romance. And we truly can’t wait to start a family.”

Mehcad Brooks and Frida Brooks

Mehcad Brooks joined the series in season 22 as Detective Jalen Shaw, an attorney-turned-cop.

The year before, the actor married Frida Brooks (née Kardeskog), a Swedish-born meditation and mindfulness teacher.

While Brooks typically maintains his privacy, he and Frida have both posted affectionate messages about each other on social media.

“Wishing a happy birthday to my love, my best friend, my teacher and my wife,” Brooks wrote on Instagram in May 2024. “I could go on and on about what kind of woman she is, what kind of soul, what she embodies and it still wouldn’t do her justice.”

Reid Scott and Elspeth Keller

Veep alum Reid Scott plays Jalen Shaw’s new partner, Detective Vincent Riley, a family-driven veteran officer with a troubled past.

In real life, Scott has been married to his wife, screenwriter Elspeth Keller, since June 2014. They were introduced through mutual friends and spent months talking before finally meeting face-to-face.

“I was in the elevator of the Sony building, and when the doors opened up, she was standing there wearing this vintage teal Chanel dress, and our eyes just locked,” he told Harper’s Bazaar in August 2015.

Scott continued, “One of her best friends actually snapped a picture of the moment of us meeting, and I blew it up and gave it to her as a wedding present.”

The couple are also parents of two sons. They welcomed their first child, Conrad Scott, in 2015, followed by son Damon in 2018.

Tony Goldwyn and Jane Musky

Goldwyn, who portrays Manhattan District Attorney Nicholas Baxter, has been married to Musky since 1987.

The pair started dating in the early 1980s and, according to Goldwyn, it was love at first sight.

“I knew when I was 21 when I met her, I better hang on because I’ll never come across this again,” he added.

Goldwyn and Musky welcomed their first child together, Anna, in May 1990. Five years later, in March 1995, their second daughter, Tess, was born.

Speaking to PEOPLE in May 2024, the actor said “respect” is the secret to their long-lasting marriage.

“I married someone who I have a very deep respect for, both her professional gifts, but also her humanity and her character,” he said. “I just am always sort of in awe of who she is as a person. That makes our relationship always interesting to me. She’s always interesting to me.”

Maura Tierney

Maura Tierney, who joined the 24th season of Law & Order as Lt. Jessica Brady, hasn’t publicly shared if she’s in a relationship. Tierney was previously married to actor Billy Morrissette from 1993 to 2006.

While their marriage didn’t work out, Tierney and Morrissette have stayed in touch over the years. “We’re very friendly now,” she said in a 2018 interview with The New York Times. “It’s about love.”
