The On-Set Romance Between Josh Dallas And Ginnifer Goodwin

From 2011-2018, Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas starred in "Once Upon A Time," a show centered on cursed fairytale characters who'd been displaced into the "real" world." And while the ABC show was chock full of brooding villains and wide-eyed heroes who made it easy for viewers to buy into the whimsical plotlines, the relationship between Goodwin and Dallas' characters (Snow White and Prince Charming) really tied the plot together. But that's not the only reason they're worth mentioning!

Through seven seasons, Snow and Charming battled countless foes together. Even when circumstances forced them apart, they held onto the promise that they would "always find" each other (via Quotes). Amid it all, Goodwin and Dallas exuded sizzling chemistry that you really believed their love really was the most powerful force in all the realms. And while it's no doubt that Goodwin and Dallas — both accomplished actors in their own right — had the necessary chops to pull off the job, they definitely had a bit of help in selling the bond between the iconic TV couple.

The "Once Upon A Time" season finale aired on May 18, 2018, marking the end of Prince Charming and Snow White's relationship. However, things were only beginning for Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin. Actually, things had been brewing between them for years at that point. You see, Dallas and Goodwin started dating shortly after they met on the set of "OUAT," in 2011, and according to People, debuted their relationship at the 2012 White House Correspondent's Dinner. 

That said, Dallas apparently knew Goodwin was the one for him much sooner. "I mean, after the read-through or the pilot," Dallas revealed to Us Weekly in 2020. "Yeah, it was pretty soon." Not only did Dallas fall fast, but he also fell hard. "I think falling in love is always a surprise, right?" said Dallas, per People. "It hit me like a blinding light. I thought, 'I'm in trouble now.'" If by "trouble," Dallas meant meeting his soulmate, then he was right! Roughly two years later, in 2014, the pair wed in an intimate yet lavish ceremony held at a Venice, California mansion, per E! News. That same year, Goodwin gave birth to the first of their two children, Oliver Dallas, who was actually written into "Once Upon A Time's" plot (via BuzzFeed). And while Goodwin and Dallas's love story, which is still going strong a decade later, is still being written, it's safe to say everyone is rooting for their happy ending.

Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas have both landed successful roles since "OUAT" ended. Goodwin has appeared in a string of projects, including "Why Women Kill" and "Pivoting," according to IMDb. Dallas, on the other hand, has spent most of his time starring in "Manifest," a sci-fi drama about a group of airplane passengers who went missing — and then reappeared — after five years. NBC originally canceled the popular drama after three years, but Netflix swooped in and saved it, producing one final season. And while their respective fans have supported the actors in their recent endeavors, many have expressed their desire for them to work together again. 

In May 2022, Goodwin appeared to tease her possible involvement in "Manifest," three years after her Husband alluded to the possibility, per Page Six.

In May 2022, Goodwin appeared to tease her possible involvement in "Manifest," and it's worth noting that three years earlier, Dallas alluded to the possibility of his wife appearing on the show, per Page Six. While noting that an appearance by Goodwin wasn't currently in the works, he said, "I mean, I'm never going to say 'no.'" So far, she hasn't made her way into any of the previous episodes, but Netflix has yet to release Part 2 of the show's final season, which will likely roll out in June 2023 (via Marie Claire). Therefore, it's definitely still possible!
