The cast of Ghosts is largely made up of apparitions, but its actors are flesh and blood with beating hearts — and they’ve got the love interests to prove it.
Centered on a couple named Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) who plan to turn their old inherited mansion into a bed and breakfast, the show has plenty of romance despite Sam’s ability to see spirits in the haunted establishment.
In addition to lots of spooky fun, Ghost’s fourth season, airing on May 8, explores the love stories of several characters, including its protagonists, Issac (Brandon Scott Jones), his longtime flame Nigel (John Hartman) and Issac’s new love interest Chris (Deniz Akdeniz).
Viewers also follow along with Flower (Sheila Carrasco) and her boyfriend Thorfinn (Devan Chandler Long); and Pete (Richie Moriarty) and Donna (Allegra Edwards), to name a few.
Behind the scenes, nearly all of the sitcom’s main stars are coupled up, from McIver, who welcomed her first child, husband George Byrne, in the summer of 2024, to Wiscocky and husband Lap Chi Chu, who have been married for a decade.
Here’s everything to know about the real-life loves of the Ghosts’ cast.

Rose McIver and George Byrne arrive at the 81st Golden Globe Awards on January 7, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California.
Series lead Rose McIver, a.k.a. Sam, has what McIver has called “a most remarkable marriage” with her faux spouse Jay. “She has a husband who has stood by her through something that most people couldn’t ever fathom,” she told Collider in February 2025.
In real life, McIver has been married to Byrne, an artist and sibling to Bridesmaids’ Rose Byrne, since Jan. 2, 2023. “It was really lovely. We eloped. … It was so nice,” she said on The Talk of their Santa Barbara, Calif., wedding.
The following year, McIver debuted a baby bump on the red carpet at the Golden Globes and their daughter Chloe was born in the summer of 2024.
While it’s unclear how the pair met, they have been together since at least 2017, when McIver shared an Instagram post promoting George’s song Stars & Stripes. “Can’t believe he also writes music this good,” she penned.
McIver has continued to express admiration for her husband over the years, congratulating him on a show closing in 2021. “I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible outcome of his book release and show,” she wrote. “I get to see first hand the phenomenal amount of dedication and hard work that goes into everything he does.”

Utkarsh, who plays Sam’s understanding husband Jay on the show, met his real wife, Naomi Ambudkar, on the set of Disney’s Mulan.
In November 2024, the Family Guy alum opened up about the first time they crossed paths at the Critics’ Choice Celebration of AAPI Cinema & Television Awards, saying of himself, “He’ll get completely cut out of that movie … but, he will meet a beautiful Samoan woman, and they’ll get married, and they’ll have three beautiful children.”
Utkarsh also thanked Naomi, whom he wed on Sept. 9, 2019, for helping him to achieve his dreams in his speech, saying, “You’re, like, the hottest, prettiest, most beautifulest wife ever, and I’m just so lucky I get to hold your hand for the rest of my life.”
The couple, who welcomed daughter Tiare in 2016 and son Bhumi in 2021, announced that their third child Leka had arrived in June 2023. “Welcome to the human experience, Leka Lesina Indu Ambudkar,” Utkarsh wrote on Instagram. “Your mama is a superhero.”
More recently, he gave his wife a sweet shout-out for their anniversary in September 2024, writing, “Till Death Do Us Part.”

Danielle Pinnock — who portrays Alberta Haynes — and her husband, Jack Wallace, married on April 8, 2013.
The night before their wedding, Pinnock’s mother, Joan, had a stroke, which led the couple to exchange vows at her bedside in the ICU before meeting their guests for a celebration at The Castle at Skylands Manor in Ringwood, N.J.
“Jack was like, ‘You know what? We’re going to do the wedding here,’ ” Pinnock recounted to PEOPLE. “That original wedding just showed me that these were the biggest hardships of the beginning of our marriage. … If we can get through this, we truly can get through anything.”
Ten years later, the pair celebrated their anniversary with a vow renewal at the Oaks Lakeside in Encino, Calif., and Joan was on hand to walk Pinnock down the aisle.
“It has been my greatest honor, being married to my husband,” Pinnock told PEOPLE, adding, “This man is the bomb. He has been my greatest supporter.”

Richie Moriarty’s Ghosts character Pete may be indecisive about whether his girlfriend Donna is the right one for him, but Moriarty made up his own mind about his wife Clara Moriarty early on in their relationship.
According to the actor, one of their friends helped them take the leap and officially start dating.
“This is the first picture I have of you on my phone,” he captioned a photo of her making a goofy face while holding up an oversized beer. “It’s from the night that @phoebestrole forced us to define our relationship in a bar two weeks into dating.”
Moriarty went on to express his adoration for Clara, writing, “You’ve made me happy every day since I met you and I feel so lucky to get to build a family with you. I love you all the way!”
On Aug. 6, 2016, Moriarty and Clara exchanged vows in a hospital in Boulder, Colo., with “some of the people we love most in this world. It remains one of the best decisions we’ve ever made,” Moriarty wrote on Instagram.
The couple are parents to a daughter and a son.
