^I think they started dating around the end of the first season of Shameless, which was like 2011. Then they split up for a while and got back together. I could be wrong about that though. As for what she sees in him, who knows? I don't know much about him. But I wouldn't judge the guy by the character he plays. It's called "acting" for a reason!
yeah touché, you're right! Well good for them, really! It's so cool of her to keep her private life under wraps. Especially since she is now more famous cause of Shameless. We also didnt know she was married so she is doing a good job in hiding that. Even more we hardly see her being out (pics).
