Tea Leoni is dating her Madam Secretary co-star Tim Daly, reminding all the viewers at home that yes, sometimes life does imitate art.

Daly, 58, plays Leoni’s husband on the CBS political drama, and apparently their “electrifying” chemistry on set has segued into a real-life romance, reports Us Weekly.

Sources claim that they’ve seen the couple strolling through L.A. recently “with their arms wrapped around each other,” and acting “definitely couple-y.”

Daly’s attraction to the 48-year-old might have been hinted at in a recent interview with Collider, in which the actor complimented his costar on her humility.

“She’s not a whiner. She wants to work hard and she wants to have fun. We get along really, really well. We have a really good time. I’ve gotten along with plenty of people, but the chemistry sucked. And I’ve hated people where the chemistry is great. It’s much better if you get along and the chemistry is good. That’s perfect.”

Fun fact: They actually went to the same high school (though years apart). That might be part of the appeal, Daly suggested.

“She’s a person, like me and like a lot of people who have gone to that school…who can be perfectly happy sleeping in a wet sleeping bag on a stone floor, or staying in a fancy hotel.”
