Some love stories really do deserve their flowers. ❤️🔥
What started on the set of Empire eventually turned into a real-life love story for Grace Gealey and Trai Byers, and more than a decade later, the couple is still going strong.
Fans first watched the two actors bring their characters, Anika “Boo Boo Kitty” Calhoun and Andre Lyon, to life on the hit Fox drama. Their on-screen relationship was filled with plenty of twists, drama and complicated moments, but behind the scenes, something much more beautiful was developing.
From Empire Co-Stars to Real-Life Love
Grace and Trai’s relationship became one of the sweetest examples of television chemistry turning into something real.
The two met while working on Empire, where they played characters whose lives were deeply connected to the Lyon family’s dramatic world. While their characters dealt with plenty of chaos, their real-life relationship blossomed away from the cameras.
The couple eventually took their relationship to the next level and got married in 2016.
Since then, they’ve continued building a life together and growing their family, proving that the connection they found while working together was much more than just on-screen chemistry.
