Meg Donnelly & Drake Rodger Make Rare Red Carpet Appearance at ‘ZOMBIES 4’ Premiere
Look alive, The Winchesters fans! Drake Rodger supported Meg Donnelly at the premiere of her new movie, Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires.
It’s been a few years since the couple played love interests (and fell in love) in the Supernatural prequel, but their offscreen relationship is still going strong. Following the spinoff’s cancellation in May 2023, the stars haven’t often hit the red carpet together. The latest addition to Donnelly’s Disney franchise, in which she plans fan-favorite Addison alongside costar Milo Manheim’s Zed, warranted a rare night out on Tuesday, July 8.
Still, red carpets are familiar territory for the longtime couple. In fact, Rodger joined Donnelly back at the Zombies 3 premiere in 2022, alongside The Winchesters‘ executive producer Jensen Ackles.
“I love doing red carpets with [Rodger] because it’s very easy,” Donnelly said in a February 2024 episode of The Zach Sang Show. “Because he’s so great at keeping calm energy, and I always get so nervous.”

It was during that very episode that Donnelly confirmed she was dating the Motorheads actor for the first time. Since they made their relationship official, the actors have also kept things under wraps on social media, though Donnelly made sure to clarify that they’re not trying to hide their love for each other.
“It’s just that, I feel like on my last couple relationships it was very public, so now I’m kind of trying to keep it — not even private, because I’ll talk about it as much as possible because I love him so much,” she shared. “Just on social media in general, I like having that privacy, because putting it all out there it kind of becomes public, too.”
Donnelly went on to explain that she’d had conversations with her boyfriend about keeping their relationship out of the spotlight, but they agreed that they would post about each other if they felt like it. “It’s not off limits, it’s not like we’re hiding each other or anything, but just not every day publicly anymore,” the actress elaborated. “Because I used to do that, and I like the way things are now.”
