To the dismay of "Bones" shippers — although Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz convincingly portrayed a happily married couple — both actors were in relationships of their own during filming. After crossing paths at the Playboy Mansion, Boreanaz married his second wife, model Jaime Bergman, in 2001 long before "Bones" began in 2005. Bergman actually made a cameo on the show in the episode, "The Steal in the Wheels." Then in 2010, Deschanel wedded actor, writer, and producer David Hornsby, and Boreanaz attended the ceremony, per People. Hornsby also cameoed in a Season 9 episode of the series.
Of course, after acting alongside each other for more than 12 years, Boreanaz and Deschanel built an extremely close friendship. In a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Deschanel discussed how the two went to an acting coach together every week, which she likened to joint therapy sessions. "People have work husbands and work wives at their jobs," Deschanel told The Hollywood Reporter. "I think that's not uncommon, but it takes it to another level playing opposite each other and being married to each other, for sure."
After 'Bones" ended, Boreanaz told Entertainment Tonight, "We kind of really opened our hearts to each other ... which gave us some really great material to work with." The actor continued, "From there on it just kind of developed and developed ... I'm just so happy and proud of all the work we've done." Boreanaz also revealed that his two kids call Deschanel "Aunt Emily."
