Dexter's Michael C. Hall Marries On-Screen Sis

January 9, 2009


On Dexter, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter play siblings. In real life, they're now married.

Secretly dating for a year and a half, the couple eloped in Big Sur, Calif. on New Year's Eve, his rep announced today. At their wedding, Jennifer — a 29-year-old Kentucky native — had her grandfather's wedding band attached to her bouquet of white roses.

This Sunday, they'll walk the red carpet together at the Golden Globe Awards — the first time they're publicly acknowledging their relationship. Michael is nominated for best actor in a drama series.

On their Showtime show, 37-year-old Michael plays the title character — a blood spatter expert who moonlights as a vigilante serial killer. Jennifer plays Deb, a police detective with a bad habit of always picking the wrong guy. The series was recently renewed for a fourth and fifth season, keeping it on the air through 2010.

This is the second marriage for Michael, who was previously married to actress Amy Spanger.

Love "Dexter", a fascinating show. Have Season 1 and Season 2 on DVD and hope to get the third ASAP. I'm glad there are people in Hollywood who still get married and hope they will be very happy together for longer than five minutes.

What a surprise! My entire family loves Dexter and everyone on the show. We just had no idea he and Deb were dating. We love you Dex and Deb. Just get rid of Rita and be married on the show.
Congrats to the newlyweds, and long live Dexter Morgan and his sister/wife.

-- Deb

Hey I want to know why we have not seen any more pictures of the Pitt/Jolie twins...are they normal babies? and where are they and why are they hiding them? Born so tiny...premature?

Yeah i think it would be wierd playing your real wifes brother on screen... especially he's sucking face or licken boobies and you looks
over and there they are just staring at you from across the room getting ready for their sex sceen... Or when debra's getting ready to do some licken of her own and dexter's looking at you getting ready to kill someone in his. You can't tell me he wouldn't be wishing that he couldn't really stab you because it looked like you were enjoying it just a little bit too much!!!

What a great ice breaker at a party, "Hey by the way, we got married and we're brother and sister." That would freak a lot of people out...You could have a lot a fun with them!
