The Truth About Lauren Lapkus And Mike Castle's Relationship

As mentioned above, Lauren Lapkus married Mike Castle in 2018, and they had quite a simple ceremony, marking the special day with friends and family. But as for best friends, they can call on each other to take those roles. "I am thrilled to be married to my best friend," Lapkus said to People in 2018.

After getting settled into married life, Castle became stepdad to Lapkus' Chihuahua/Maltese/Yorkshire terrier mix, Franny, who was adopted in 2014 (via The Things). The couple also became parents in 2021, welcoming their baby daughter Holly in July (via Entertainment Tonight).

Despite both being Illinois natives, it was through work that they first met. Per Just Jared, the couple met while co-starring in the 2015 TBS show "Clipped." Both are heavily involved in acting, and they both have backgrounds in improv (via The Things). Could we see them appear on the same Netflix show one day in the future?
