Serving Forever! Meet ‘The Bear’ Cast’s Real-Life Loves
There are plenty of things to love about The Bear, from its high intensity to its characters’ found family dynamic. In our case, we’ve mostly tuned in for the morsels of romance. (What can we say? We’re on brand.) On June 25, the FX series had its final shift with the Season 5 premiere. The fifth season will be the show’s last.
While fans will be watching the last batch of episodes to see if SydCarmy finally happens, the real-life love stories of The Bear’s ensemble are just as interesting. From long-term marriages to romances that started on set, there’s so much relationship lore about The Bear cast to learn about.
Are Jeremy Allen White and his Bear costar still an item? Does Ayo Edebiri have a boyfriend? Whose real-life husband played her onscreen husband in The Bear? Find out the relationship statuses of your favorite restaurant workers on TV below.

Jeremy Allen White & Molly Gordon
Life imitates art! Neither have officially confirmed it, but White and Molly Gordon are a couple. The Bear costars (who play Carmy and Claire) were photographed locking lips in September 2024, and they’ve been quietly supporting each other over the last year. White will also be in Gordon’s upcoming comedy, Peaked.
White was previously married to Addison Timlin, with whom he has two children. The exes divorced in 2023.
“With the internet, I just think — I even see it in myself as a fan of things — we’re just a more judgmental society,” she told Vanity Fair.
Ayo Edebiri
Last we heard, Edebiri is rumored to be dating musician Jamen Whitelock. They were pictured in Taipei with Ke Huy Quan back in fall 2024. The actress, who plays Sydney, posted an Instagram Story of Whitelock planting a kiss on her cheek a few months later.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach
This actor is off the market! Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays Richie, has been with his wife since the ’90s. She’s an artist named Yelena Yemchuk, and they have two kids together.
“Our life is often quite chaotic, but we have similar struggles and successes and triumphs, Yelena and I, in terms of balancing work and finances and then ego stuff,” he told Sharp Magazine.
Liza Colón-Zayas
Liza Colón-Zayas, aka Tina, has also been in a decades-long marriage. The Bear fans might recognize her husband, David Zayas, since he played her character’s husband. (He’s also acted in a number of other projects. He played Angel Batista on Dexter, for one.)
Abby Elliott
Like the character she plays on TV—Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto, if you need a refresher—Abby Elliot is married. She tied the knot with TV writer Bill Kennedy in 2016. They’ve had two children together.
Fun fact: They also met at work! Elliot stars in the 2014 comedy Sex Ed, which was written by Kennedy.
Matty Matheson
Matty Matheson, who plays Neil Fak in The Bear, isn’t single either. Since 2014, he’s been married to Trish Spencer, who runs a bridal boutique. They share three kids.
In 2023, Matheson penned a heartfelt message to his wife for their anniversary: “YOU ASKED ME TO PROM I SAID COOL LETS GO! 23 YEARS TOGETHER 9 YEARS MARRIED 3 WILD ASS KIDS A BEAUTIFUL LIFE YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY!”
Jamie Lee Curtis
Jamie Lee Curtis, who guest stars as Carmy and Sugar’s mom, Donna Berzatto (and won an Emmy for her performance), has been married to actor Christopher Guest since 1984. They have two adopted daughters.
Sarah Ramos
Sarah Ramos, aka Jessica, has been with her now-husband, Matt Spicer, since 2013. They married in 2020. The couple is currently expecting their first child together.
Lionel Boyce
The Bear has hinted at a potential romance between Lionel Boyce’s character Marcus and Sydney, but the actor himself hasn’t publicly confirmed if he’s currently dating anyone.
Oliver Platt
Edwin Lee Gibson
Though he’s never confirmed it publicly, Gibson is likely with Dina Pascua. She’s appeared on several red carpets with the actor, who plays Ebraheim in the show. She’s hyphenated her last name with Gibson’s in her Instagram profile, so they could even be married.
