While the characters on Home and Away are notorious for their brief relationships and dramatic romances, their real-life counterparts have fared far better.
Luke Mitchell and Rebecca Breeds, two of the soap’s stars, met on set in 2009 and began dating the following year.
After marrying, the pair moved across the Atlantic to try their luck in Hollywood.
