Once, co-writers, sometimes co-actors, and always an iconic duo (on-screen and off-screen), Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall’s real-life love story is one that has us (and the rest of Australia) smitten.
They first linked up in 2015 when the pair crossed paths on the set of No Activity. The pair relocated, separately, to LA a year later to pursue bigger opportunities (and, now we know, true love). The couple did their best to keep their relationship out of the spotlight; however, dating rumours finally started getting out around 2017.
And when the couple co-wrote and co-starred in a local TV show that became a global sensation, their life took a complete 180. In the hit show, Colin from Accounts, Patrick and Harriet’s characters Gordon Crapp and Ashley Mudden are brought together with a classic “meet-cute”, and throughout the season we see the two bond over a stray dog (named Colin), overcome insecurities together, and navigate the raw emotions of a new relationship.
