Spencer House & Sonia Mena From Tell Me Lies Are Dating
"We are very different than the people we play."
When it comes to the relationships on Tell Me Lies, it would seem that art tends to imitate life. Most fans of the series are aware that Grace Van Patten and Jackson White, who star as the chronically on-again-off-again couple Lucy and Stephen, are dating in real life. Branden Cook and Katherine Hughes, who play love interests Evan and Molly, are also an item outside of the show. And now, there’s a third fictional relationship that’s become a reality.
The Tell Me Lies makeup designer Jenny Lin let it slip in a recent interview that Spencer House and Sonia Mena, who star as the embattled couple Wrigley and Pippa, are dating. “He and Sonia, who plays Pippa, are together in real life, and they’re just so nice,” Lin said when speaking about House.
After that interview, an anonymous source told People that House and Mena have actually been dating for several years. The source did not specify exactly when they started seeing one another.
House and Mena finally confirmed the relationship themselves in a Jan. 31 Us Weekly interview. “When you spend so much time with the people you work with — a spark happens,” House said. “But there’s a line between us and work.” Mena added that their off-set romance doesn’t look anything like Pippa and Wrigley’s: “We are very different than the people we play.”
On Tell Me Lies, House and Mena’s characters have been dating since the first season, although their relationship is very fraught. At the beginning of Season 3, Pippa is hiding her romantic feelings for Diana (whom viewers know she will eventually end up with), and Wrigley seems to be developing a crush on Pippa’s best friend Bree. So, while their characters may be drifting apart, at least it sounds like the actors themselves have formed a very strong bond.
