The comedic duo met at a play readthrough for The Berlin Circle in Chicago and sparks flew.“After rehearsal, one night we went and drove around,” recalled Offerman in a Vulture interview, “I put my hand on hers on the gearshift in the middle and that was very electric.” It didn’t take long for things to develop from there, “Opening night, somebody saw us making out and then the cat was out of the bag. And then we were dating,” added Mullally.
