The Real-Life Love Stories of the Quantico Cast From Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas to Blair Underwood
Beyond FBI secrets and on-screen betrayals, the Quantico stars built families, found lifelong partners, and sparked one of Hollywood’s biggest romances.
Los Angeles, September 27 EST: For all the double-crossing and FBI drama that powered Quantico, the cast itself turned out to be surprisingly steady once the cameras stopped rolling. Instead of spy games and secret agendas, a lot of them ended up in long-term marriages, family life, or in Priyanka Chopra’s case, one of Hollywood’s flashiest love stories.
Priyanka & Nick: A Text, A Wedding, A Global Obsession
The Chopra–Jonas romance is practically modern folklore at this point. Back when she was shooting Quantico, Nick Jonas wanted to meet her but didn’t go the lazy DM route. Instead, he hit up Graham Rogers, her co-star, asking for an introduction. Rogers passed along the message, Chopra and Jonas started talking, and within two years they were staging a wedding so big it felt like a Netflix mini-series.
Of course, Dwayne Johnson has cheekily claimed credit for bringing them together during their Baywatch shoot. Classic Rock showmanship. But the actual spark traces back to Rogers, which makes him Hollywood’s most accidental matchmaker.
Jake McLaughlin’s Full House
On the show, Jake McLaughlin’s Ryan Booth had a rollercoaster relationship with Chopra’s character. Off-screen? Night and day. McLaughlin is married to Stephanie McLaughlin, and they’ve got five kids together. That’s not just a family, that’s practically a basketball team with a spare sub. In an industry obsessed with “who’s dating who,” Jake quietly built one of the most normal, grounded households in the bunch.
Johanna Braddy & Freddie Stroma: A TV Love Story That Stuck
Johanna Braddy (Shelby Wyatt) didn’t meet her forever person on Quantico but on another TV set. She and British actor Freddie Stroma (Harry Potter, Bridgerton) got together filming UnREAL and married in 2016. They’re low-key but very much the kind of couple fans quietly root for, charming, a little glamorous, but not constantly chasing headlines.
Blair Underwood’s Later in Life Twist
Blair Underwood, who joined the series as mentor Owen Hall, had one of those “real life is better than fiction” arcs. In 2023, he married Josie Hart, a longtime friend. After decades in Hollywood and nearly three decades in a previous marriage, it felt like a second-act love story tailor-made for him.
Graham Rogers Gets His Own Happy Ending
Here’s the kicker. The guy who helped kickstart Priyanka and Nick’s romance eventually had his own walk down the aisle. In 2025, Graham Rogers married Norwegian model Synnøve Årdal. Not bad for someone who once played the lovable chaos agent Caleb Haas.
The Quiet Romantics
Plenty of cast members kept things completely off the radar. Tate Ellington (Simon Asher) has been with his wife Chrissy Fiorilli-Ellington since 2012. Yasmine Al Massri (who somehow pulled off playing twin sisters Nimah and Raina) married her longtime friend Michael Desante, with whom she shares a son. Neither has made a career out of flaunting their private lives, and that’s part of the charm.
The Wildcards: Headlines, Identity, and Honesty
Anabelle Acosta (Natalie Vasquez) had her brush with tabloid romance in 2018 when she dated Shemar Moore, before reconnecting with actor Algenis Perez Soto. Rick Cosnett (Elias Harper) made news of a different kind in 2020 when he came out publicly as gay, a moment that drew widespread support from fans and industry peers alike. And Aunjanue Ellis (Miranda Shaw) has been open about her bisexuality, though she’s kept her current dating life private.
The Contrast Fans Love
Here’s the fun part. Quantico thrived on secrecy, double-crosses, and constantly shifting loyalties. Off-camera, the cast was almost the opposite. Marriages that last, kids, second chances at love, and only a couple of splashy headlines. Chopra and Jonas are obviously the global spectacle, but the rest of the cast’s love stories feel refreshingly normal, almost like an antidote to the chaos they acted out on screen.
For a show remembered for conspiracies and cliffhangers, it’s nice to know the people who played those roles were quietly finding something much simpler: stability.
