Adam Demos and Sarah Shahi, whose on-screen chemistry in Sex/Life sparked a real-life romance, have reportedly ended their five-year relationship, according to Page Six. The pair, who met while filming the Netflix series in 2020, had been publicly open about their connection. However, the recent rumors about their breakup come just two months after Shahi gave an interview in which she reflected on their partnership and their shared professional experiences.
In February, Shahi spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about potentially collaborating with Demos again in the future, expressing how their natural chemistry on set made their performances genuine and authentic. She noted that working with Demos was easy because their relationship meant they didn’t have to fake their connection. Their strong mutual respect and a no-nonsense approach to both work and their relationship helped them build a deep bond, according to Shahi.
Their relationship had begun shortly after Shahi’s separation from her husband of 11 years, actor Steve Howey. The couple, who share three children, had reportedly struggled for years, particularly after becoming parents. Shahi opened up about the difficulties in her marriage, explaining that their dynamic began to change after their first child was born, and that the final decade of their marriage was challenging.
As for Demos, Shahi revealed that their romance didn’t happen immediately but grew over time. Eventually, she felt that Demos aligned with her values and became the partner she had been searching for. Their relationship appeared strong and loving for several years, but recent reports suggest that the couple has now parted ways. However, neither Shahi nor Demos has confirmed the split.
Fans of the couple are left wondering about the future, especially as their relationship had been a major talking point, both on and off-screen, for fans of Sex/Life. The news of their breakup marks the end of a romantic chapter for the pair, and it will be interesting to see how they both move forward in their personal and professional lives.
