Meet the Real-Life Partners of the FBI: Most Wanted Cast (Including the Couple Who Met on Set)
Love is on the list when it comes to the cast of FBI: Most Wanted. After six seasons, the Fugitive Task Force has caught its final criminal, as the FBI spinoff is ending on May 20. The actors on the series were close, which was evident as production wrapped on the drama. “I’m filled with so much abundance and appreciation for this prodigious cast and crew. Thanks to the cast for simply being their authentic selves,” Edwin Hodge, who played Special Agent Ray Cannon, wrote in a touching tribute on Instagram.
When Dylan McDermott joined the series in season 3, he told PEOPLE, “It was instant electricity between me and the cast of FBI: Most Wanted. It was as if we had been working together for years!”
The cast was close, but their characters had trouble juggling personal and professional relationships. Special Agent Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) and her wife, Charlotte (Fedna Jacquet), got a divorce, partly due to the demands of the Fugitive Task Force. Meanwhile, Remy (McDermott) attempted to navigate his long-distance relationship with Abby (Susan Misner).
The characters’ personal lives are complicated, but what about the actors’ off-screen?
Here’s everything to know about the real-life partners of the FBI: Most Wanted cast.

On FBI: Most Wanted, Roxy Sternberg’s character, Special Agent Sheryll Barnes, was part of the FBI franchise’s only LGBTQ+ couple.
In real life, she is married to Flax, whom she called her “clever candid husband” in a June 2021 Facebook post. Roxy is also the mother of two children.

Best known as team hacker Hana Gibson on FBI: Most Wanted, Keisha Castle-Hughes is more upfront off-screen.
In 2021, Keisha married Donny Grahamer, who was a camera assistant on FBI: Most Wanted. The couple met during the pandemic, and shortly after tying the knot, they welcomed their daughter.
“I had gone to New York joking to my friends that this was my Carrie Bradshaw era,” the New Zealand actress recalled to the local outlet The Post in June 2023. “And then two years later, I was like, ‘Hey, so I’m married and I’m having another baby.’ “
Keisha shares an older daughter with her ex-boyfriend, Bradley Hull.
The Whale Rider actress was previously married to Jonathan Morrison.

While Edwin Hodge’s character Ray Cannon made his debut in the later seasons of FBI: Most Wanted, the special agent left a lasting impact on the team.
In real life, Edwin married Matlock actress Skye P. Marshall in June 2024.
The two met when they were cast on the CBS medical series Good Sam in 2020. Though the project experienced delays because of the pandemic, Edwin and Skye eventually connected in person, and sparks flew.
“We transformed our on-set romance into a real love story,” Edwin told PEOPLE.

Dylan McDermott leads the FBI: Most Wanted team as Remy Scott, taking the reins from his predecessor Jess LaCroix. Though Remy has had romantic ties with a few side characters on the show, actor Dylan has kept his relationships under wraps.
He married fellow actress Shiva Rose in 1995, and their divorce was finalized in 2009, two years after they had separated. They share two daughters, Colette and Charlotte.
Dylan’s daughter, Colette appeared on FBI: Most Wanted in April 2023, playing college student Carly Cassidy.
“She is in many ways who I want to be when I grow up,” Dylan told PEOPLE. “She got the whole package. She’s a beautiful, loving, caring, sensitive, compassionate person. And I’m just so deeply proud of her.
Alexa Davalos and Josh Stewart

On FBI: Most Wanted, Alexa portrayed Kristin Gaines, a tactful agent who helped out the team before officially joining it.
Away from the camera, the actress separates her work and personal life a bit more. She married fellow actor Josh Stewart in May 2019, per IMDb.
While the pair have kept the details of their relationship private, Alexa and Josh both appeared in the second season of the Marvel series, The Punisher.
Julian McMahon and Kelly Paniagua

When the CBS procedural first premiered in 2020, Julian McMahon was tapped to play team leader Jess LaCroix, whose profiling skills go a long way during a case.
While Julian eventually left the show two years later, he’s still dedicated to his longtime partner. The actor and Kelly Paniagua were already together for 11 years before they wed in 2014, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The Residence actor was married twice before, including to Brooke Burns, with whom he shares one daughter.
Kellan Lutz and Brittany Lutz

As part of the original stars of FBI: Most Wanted, Kellan Lutz portrayed Kenny Crosby, who quickly became known for his sniper work before returning home to Oklahoma to recover from an injury.
Off-screen, the actor has a less intense life alongside his wife, Brittany Lutz, albeit just as busy. The couple wed in 2017 and have since welcomed two children.
In November 2020, Kellan shared a heartfelt tribute to Brittany on Instagram, celebrating their third wedding anniversary.
“Life gets better with every moment we share!” the Twilight star wrote. “Remember that I love you, and I’m proud that you’re my wife. Remember that no matter what, you have a best friend for life. Remember that you’re on my mind, each day and everywhere.”
Nathaniel Arcand and Jolene Arcand

Before Kellan Lutz’s Kenny Crosby, there was Nathaniel Arcand’s character Clinton Skye, who left FBI: Most Wanted in season 2 to go after bigger fish.
In real life, Nathaniel and his wife, Jolene, have been married since December 2016.
The Canadian actor has been seen on the screen since the ’90s. He departed from FBI: Most Wanted in 2020, and in recent years, he has appeared in high-profile projects, such as Killers of the Flower Moon, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Sinners.
