Tell Me Lies fans are devastated that their favorite show came to an end after the season 3 finale, but they’re still rooting for real-life lovebirds Grace Van Patten and Jackson White! The duo, who fell in love after filming season 1 of the Hulu series, has become a fan-favorite pair over the years. So, it was inevitable that they speculated about their romance status after Jackson admitted he accidentally bought Grace a wedding ring.

Hollywood Life has the details about Grace and Jackson’s relationship below!
How Long Have Grace Van Patten & Jackson White Been Together?
Grace and Jackson started dating in 2022 after they began working together on Tell Me Lies. The couple played on-screen love interests Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco, and their relationship is highly toxic and dramatic. However, Grace and Jackson are excellent actors; they didn’t make their fictional characters’ relationship a reality.
After filming season 1 that year, Grace and Jackson avoided publicly discussing their relationship, but they subtly confirmed it after being spotted holding hands in late 2022.
During a January 2026 interview with Teen Vogue, Jackson and Grace recalled how they had started dating before he even landed the role of Stephen. It was a love story right from their audition! But the actors — knowing that a workplace relationship could stir trouble — talked about the reasons why they shouldn’t date, since he was still in the running to co-star with her on Tell Me Lies. But Grace made the first move by kissing him, and she told the publication, “I’m happy I did.”
When Did Grace Van Patten & Jackson White First Meet?
Contrary to the belief that they met during their Tell Me Lies audition, Grace told Teen Vogue she first met Jackson at his SPF-18 co-star Carson Meyer’s birthday party in 2016. Jackson, however, doesn’t recall the moment.
