Inside the Real-Life Relationships of the “CIA” Cast

The new CBS spinoff series, “CIA”, debuted on February 23, featuring notable stars Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss. This series extends the familiar world of “FBI” and introduces audiences to two unlikely partners navigating the intricate web of the Central Intelligence Agency’s New York office. The duo is tasked with investigating threats that could compromise the security of the United States.

Ellis plays the role of Colin Glass, while Gehlfuss stars as Bill Goodman. Although their characters may differ in approach and personality, their partnership becomes a source of strength as they tackle challenging cases. “CIA” also sees cameos from various cast members of the original “FBI” series, including Jeremy Sisto, who plays Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine. Sisto has been married to his long-time partner, Addie Lane, since 2009.

Tom Ellis is well-known not only for his acting prowess but also for his marriage to Meaghan Oppenheimer, the creator of the hit series “Tell Me Lies.” The couple began dating in 2014 and became engaged three years later before tying the knot in 2019. They welcomed their daughter, Dolly, into the world in 2023. Speaking about her partnership with Ellis, Oppenheimer has noted how seamlessly they work together, even joking about the unique dynamics of filming intimate scenes for her show.

Gehlfuss, who stars as Goodman, shares a different yet equally warm relationship with his wife, Lilian Matsuda. The couple celebrated their marriage in a grand ceremony in Ohio on May 13, 2016. Reflecting on the day, Gehlfuss recalled the unpredictable weather ranging from rain to a sudden blizzard. They are proud parents of two children, having welcomed their first in 2021 and a second in 2024, further solidifying their family bond.

Meanwhile, Natalee Linez, who takes on the role of CIA analyst Gina Gosian, has been in a relationship with Brandeaux Tourville, the executive producer of her recent projects. Their connection reportedly began in 2022 through social media and flourished into a partnership marked by shared discussions about the “six C’s” essential for a healthy relationship. These include communication, consistency, compatibility, chemistry, compromise, and curiosity, highlighting their commitment to each other.

Necar Zadegan portrays Deputy Chief of Station Nikki Reynard in “CIA”. While she has not publicly disclosed her romantic relationship status, her character’s narrative is steeped in history, having had multiple ex-husbands, which adds complexity to her role in the series. Zadegan describes her character as having a rich background that inevitably intertwines with her work, showcasing the balance between personal and professional life.

Returning to the theme of love in the context of “CIA”, Jeremy Sisto’s off-screen life with Addie Lane has also attracted attention. The couple, married since 2009, have two children and often find joy in family moments. Sisto recently mentioned that their daughter Charlie has started using her mother’s maiden name, highlighting the playful dynamics within their family.

Missy Peregrym, another familiar face from “FBI”, reprises her role as Special Agent Maggie Bell in the spinoff. She married Tom Oakley in December 2018, and together they welcomed two children; Otis Paradis in March 2020 and Mela Joséphine in June 2022. Peregrym shared the challenges and blessings of motherhood on social media, expressing gratitude for Oakley’s unwavering support during their parenting journey.

Lastly, Alana De La Garza, who embodies Special Agent Isobel Castille, has been married to Michael Roberts since 2008. The couple shares a son, Kieran, born in 2010, and a daughter, Liv Elena, who was born in 2013. De La Garza has often spoken about the joy of seeing her children interact and the loving bond within her family, expressing that their family feels complete with the addition of their daughter.

“CIA” not only continues the legacy of the “FBI” series but also brings to the forefront the interesting blend of love and partnership off-screen among its cast members. As these relationships evolve, they continue to add depth to the narratives unfolding in front of the camera. The intertwining of personal lives with professional obligations showcases that, just like in the series, love remains a key motivator for many of the actors involved.
