Stars Who Fell In Love With Their On-Set Siblings

Before they were Marvel movie fixtures, Chris Pratt and Emily VanCamp's breakout roles were on Everwood, where they starred as brother and sister Bright and Amy Abbott, respectively. They became smitten with one another on the set of the show, which debuted in 2002, and began dating in 2004.

Pratt admitted to TV Guide in 2006 that dating an on-screen sibling was a bit weird, but only because they were initially secretive about their romance for their first six months together to avoid making anyone else on set uncomfortable. Once they went public, though, it was just icky to people who didn't know the couple well and couldn't separate fiction from reality. "We've pretty much gotten used to the response of, 'Eww, that's weird. That's creepy,'" Pratt said. "The people who know us are happy, and probably expected it to happen eventually. But yeah, every once in a while we get that one person that's like, 'That's really creepy. You just kissed your sister.'"

Alas, once the show ended in 2006, the relationship eventually followed suit. Pratt and VanCamp split in 2007.

Jamie Campbell-Bower and Lily Collins played demon-hunting brother and sister duo Jace and Clary Fray in the ill-fated film adaptation of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Campbell-Bower and Collins got cozy on set and dated on and off for two social media PDA-filled years before splitting in October 2015 — and then reuniting yet again in January 2018. Sources said the couple remained close, even during off-again periods. In 2015, Hollywood Life reported that Collins told pals Bower was her soulmate. 

Collins gushed to Glamour UK of their on-set and off-screen romance (via E! News), saying, "People are cast because they have chemistry. You're spending 24-hour days together and it's intense ... plus you really get to know the best and worst sides of people — the rawest sides of people. You're perfect for the role because you have that connection with each other and sometimes that translates into more."

Evan Rachel Wood and Shane West starred as sister and brother Jessie and Eli Sammler on Once and Again from 1999 to 2002. Years after the show wrapped, People reported that Wood and West supposedly got very non-platonic at a birthday party for the actor in June 2009.

Spies saw West doting on the True Blood actress, with witnesses claiming he frequently kissed Wood's cheek and hand. The pretty pair kept close all night, and Wood reportedly serenaded West with a sultry rendition of "Happy Birthday." People said the couple arrived together at the Bardot nightclub, where they met up with a large group of friends. 

Wood semi-confirmed that they were romantically involved at the time. "I think you can put two and two together ... I won't confirm or deny [that we're dating] but I don't think I have to," she told press at an awards show (via People). "I have a celebrity crush on Shane West, of course. It was a great party."

Talk about an '80s dream team! Jennifer Grey and Matthew Broderick, who starred as siblings Jeanie and Ferris Bueller in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, were a cute couple off the big screen. Unfortunately, their relationship was marred by tragedy. According to People, while vacationing together in Ireland in 1987, Grey and Broderick, who was behind the wheel, were in a car accident that left them both injured and that killed the occupants of another vehicle — a 28-year-old woman and her 63-year-old mother.

Grey later admitted that she was never the same after the accident, which occurred just days before the opening of Dirty Dancing. "I became America's sweetheart within five days of the accident," she told People. "The juxtaposition of that deep sorrow, the survivor's guilt ... and then being celebrated as the new big thing just didn't jibe. It didn't feel good to be the toast of the town ... The impact was emotional and physical. My body was never the same, my head was never the same, my ambition was never the same."

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher played brother and sister Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise — and their characters even kissed on the big screen before they realized they were siblings!

It turns out, Fisher and Hamill engaged in some hanky-panky when the cameras were off, too, but it was never anything too major. Hamill told The Guardian in December 2017, "Carrie and I were attracted to one another, but I knew from previous jobs that it would have been a bad idea [to get involved with someone on set]. But Carrie and I found pretexts ... One time ... we were talking about kissing techniques. I said, 'Well, I think I'm a fairly good kisser. I like to let the women come to me rather than be aggressive.' And she said, 'What do you mean?' Well, next thing you know, we're making out like teenagers!"

It never went beyond their lip-locking tutorial, though. Hamill admitted with a chuckle, "We were all over each other! But the one thing that drew Carrie and me back from the precipice was we kind of became aware of what we were doing and just burst out laughing. Which was unfortunate for me because the rocket launch sequence had been initiated." Hamill admitted that he was more into Fisher than she was into him, but that they soon became purely platonic pals — ironically, they were "like real siblings over the years."

Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter starred as foster siblings Dexter and Deb on Dexter — and they fell so in love off-set that they actually got married. Carpenter and Hall tied the knot in December 2008, People reported, but the bliss didn't last long. Hall and Carpenter separated in August 2010 and divorced in December 2011. The exes were relatively amicable and continued to work together after their split. People reported that they even frequently went out for platonic meet-ups.

In 2013, Carpenter teared up at a Dexter fan event when asked about working with her ex. "Our marriage didn't look like anyone else's, and our divorce didn't either, so ... I said it before, just because the marriage ended doesn't mean the love did," she said (via Us Weekly). "I'm crying. It's an awkward thing to talk about your personal life in front of a bunch of strangers, but there's nothing but love and respect."

Hall added, "I would say the fact that Jennifer and I worked through whatever was going on with us personally the way we did and maintained telling the story was never in question. It was always what we needed or wanted to do."

The Brady Bunch stars Barry Williams and Maureen McCormick, who starred as siblings Greg and Marcia Brady, respectively, had the hots for one another on the set of the show. Sparks didn't fly immediately, as filming began when McCormick was 12 to Williams' 14, but eventually the two actors did, in fact, begin canoodling. 

In her memoir, Here's The Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice (via TV Guide), McCormick described her first kiss with Williams as "long, passionate and deep," but she also added, "A part of me — a tiny part, admittedly — said to myself, 'Oh my God! I'm kissing my brother. What am I doing?'" She even admitted (via the New York Daily News) that she would have lost her virginity to Williams if his parents hadn't walked in on them getting hot and heavy at his house. She also revealed a scandalous secret about The Brady Bunch episode in which Marcia and Greg bicker about the attic bedroom. She and Williams supposedly couldn't keep their hands off of each other in that very bed.
