We love watching movies and television shows because we get transported to another world, get to take part in some pretty crazy story lines, and get caught up in some pretty steamy romances, too! There's nothing better than watching two people fall in love (or lust) on screen, and we just can't help but love the idea of them falling in love in real life -- which is a total testament to them, because it means they're doing their job well. Oftentimes, however, they're doing just that (their job), and even if said job means getting steamy with a coworker, not all on-screen couples become off-screen ones.

But when they get together -- and actually stay together -- it can truly be magical.

Although a number of costars-turned-lovers have since fizzled, some actually have stood the test of time that's quite remarkable given how fickle the industry can be. Still, some of these Hollywood pairs gave us the feels while starring -- sometimes as lovers -- on the television shows we've come to adore.

Without further adieu, here's a look at some TV costars who got together in real life and are still going strong.

These two have been together since 1995, starring alongside each other on All My Children. Kelly and Mark eloped in Vegas a year later and recently celebrated 23 years of marriage -- woo hoo! Decades down and three children later, these two are still making television appearances together. Aside from Mark filling in on Kelly's show, Live With Kelly and Ryan!, on occasion, Kelly made an appearance on Riverdale as his character's mistress that was pretty hot.

Although Leslie was sadly killed off the show in 2014, the two wed in 2018. Fans miss her character, and for Harrington, it was one of his favorite moments. "I liked her death. I know, it sounds bizarre," he told People. "I thought she nailed that. And it's the first time in Thrones that slow motion was used and I think it's a beautiful, cradling moment as this battle is raging in the background. It was one of those incredible shots."

Although these two officially began dating after meeting on the set of Gotham, they actually were introduced years earlier while working on The OC. "I apparently blew her off," McKenzie told James Corden. "So I'm thinking, 'What kind of idiot would blow off this gorgeous, beautiful, sophisticated, intelligent, successful woman?' Then I thought of what kind of boy I was at 25, and [I was] that kind of idiot."

Luckily for him, it all worked out. The two had their first child together in 2016, and they got married a year later.

Jonathan Byers and Nancy Wheeler are everyone's favorite "almost" couple on Stranger Things, but in real life, they're full-on together. Heaton told reporters that he absolutely loves having Dyer on set. "Because we work in the same industry and have had similar trajectories, we've gone through it together," he revealed. "Sharing that does bring you closer. They understand something that maybe no one else would."

Vincent Kartheiser & Alexis Bledel

In Mad Men, Alexis and Vincent's characters are having an affair with each other. But in real life, they're happily married with one child. These two are very private and keep their relationship as something sacred just for themselves.

"It's something I realized about the most important things in my life," Kartheiser told Vulture. "If I share them with the world and I open that door to their fuming anger that they need to get out or their adoration that they want to flaunt, it lessens it. It cheapens it; it weakens it. And it's magical, love, and all of that is ... profoundly spiritual, and it just doesn't feel right."
