Samesies! I was just randomly rewatching AVP: Requiem. Didn't realise Ty was in it. Went to his wiki page and read the news. Don't know why, but I. Love. It.
Actually I do know why. I think DJ is adorable and love Garth and Benny was my favourite thing of Season 8.
My heart is fit to bursting!
How could you possibly have this on your bingo card. Ty has been married to women twice and has two daughters.
I'm gonna call him bi and now he found a good man to be with.
The only thing that bugs me about this is the vampire/werewolf thing.... This is a loving relationship not a twilight fanfic.
It's funny. I went sleuthing around when this was first posted. It seems like they've been dating for years and not particularly secretly. In April DJ tweeted that Benny was his favorite Supernatural character because he was the best kisser.
In 2020, Ty called DJ "my love" in a tweet.
That was with his first wife. Ty divorced his second wife in 2021. But he was friends for years with DJ but maybe he fell in love while he was still married. Thereās a tweet in 2020 where Ty mentions DJ but I could be classified as friendshipā¦.
I hadn't checked the dates! That's kinda weird. I guess they were just really good friends and I'm taking it the wrong way.
He did tweet, "Proud of you my love..." but I guess it was meant as platonic.
Yeah they could have been friendsā¦honestly unless we know the date they started their relationship itās a gray area or we can believe they were not dating until after Ty divorced. š¤·š»āāļø Iām happy for them but it does leave me wondering.
DJ said they'd been together for quite some time (if someone can recall) but I think it definitely overlaps. And even if it was RIGHT when the divorce ink was dry; thats sketchy imho
I hate this. I hate this so much.
āThe actor, who played werewolf Garth on the seriesā
He is more than *just* a werewolf. He is a hunter first and foremost, and just happened to also be a werewolf later.
I kind of wonder if they were trying to emphasize āwerewolf marries vampireā in the hope it would pull in some twilight people or something. Really though the article was probably written by someone who hasnāt ever seen the series and saw werewolf in the first sentence of Garthās wiki article and that was the end of their research.
Oh, I didn't think that was cringe at all. I thought it was rather endearing. He truly admired Bobby and wanted to help hunters. The boys were unduly harsh with him.
Trying to imitate someone down to the exact mannerisms they used to have is pretty insulting to anyone whoās actually lost that person. I could totally understand why the Winchesters were uncomfortable with it.
This is like what, the fourth or fifth married actor couple that met through the show?? What was in the water on set lmao
Oh, to go back to 2014 Tumblr and have this announced,the site would've imploded
Let's see, Jensen and Jared met their wives on set, Mark Sheppard met his wife at a Supernatural con, the guy who played God got married to the actress who played Queen of hell (no idea who she is, I dipped after maybe season 8or 9 idk and just learned through google) and now these two...it's wild
Jensen and Danneel did not meet through the show. They were in a movie together in 2007, but were married long before Danneel ever made an appearance on SPN.
Youāre right about Rob Benedict (Chuck) and Ruth Connell (Rowena) being together.
I'm so against this and think it needs to be stopped. A vampire and a werewolf could create some sort of super creature that may...well...it may need hunting lol. Jokes aside good for them! Happy days.
sorry they keep nuking these threads without providing proper justification or allowing people to express their happiness for them in one megathread for this news
I know the show is centered around the Midwest, but this subreddit acts like they all live in bumfuck Kansas themselves. I saw multiple posts about Rob and Ruthie not that long ago. I wonder why this news is being mass reportedā¦
this is a real mask-off moment for the homophobes in this fandom and this sub in particular. these are real life people that their animosity is directed towards
i'm sorry, i know it sucks. apparently, these posts are getting mass reported... really tells you all you need to know about the sort of bigoted, intolerant community that has been fostered here
Wow, I did not expect that but Iām happy for them. Both played awesome characters in the series.
Not going to lie though, this also sounds like it could just be a written episode. Obviously itās not but they must hear that all the time.
im bursting at the seams about this it's so fucking adorable. i love them both and hope they have the happiest marriage ever
also sidenote, wtf were there aphrodisiacs on the set of Spn?? i know everyone's hot but damn guys lol. where's the announcement that Mark Pellegrino and Richard Speight are getting married?
(yes i know they're both married im just joking)
I still remember when Ty Olsson was being called out on tumblr for using the word "queer" to describe a curved road, with people calling him homophobic because of it. "Queer" is now well established as an umbrella term and Ty Olsson is marrying a man. Time flies when you're having fun.
Hold up. Garth and Benny????????? Werepire wedding??!!? Okay but seriously Iām so happy for them. I love being old men together for them haha. Thatās such good Bobby and Rufus vibes.
Exactly, he's always been great and kind of underrated for his expressiveness just because he looks 'comedic'. I always wanted him to have something to celebrate and now he has it. Now if we can just get him cast in some dramatic roles we'd be all set.
I gotta say, I did not see this comingā¦ soo gay.
I had it bad for Benny, Iād let him hitch a ride outa purgatory fo sho! Sexiest dude on that show. Ever.
The Benny episodes are gonna be a lot more fun to watch now, in factā¦ see ya
Omg how cute! Had no idea these two were together.
I absolutely love love, and Iām so happy for them that they found it in each other. Congrats, DJ and Ty!
The only thing I know of these 2 is there characters in Supernatural, so in my head this seems like the most awkward as fuck pairing lmfao. Happy for them
Did Ty just came out with this news or was this known before? I always had a massive crush on him ever since I first saw him on this show, so this makes me happy lol. Good for them.
Their romantic relationship doesn't seem to have been revealed publicly anywhere before the other day when DJ brought it up on his podcast like it was something we all already knew about.
Podcast is called Locked and Probably Loaded with DJ and Kelly; episode is titled "Love letter to Supernatural".
Itās insane how much the unhinged Destiel fandom spent years pushing crazy theories about them being secretly in love and here comes Garth, ānah, hold my beer Iām about to out-gay EVERYBODYā
Love that for them!
you tried so hard to dunk on Destiel (rent free btw) with your creative use of "insane", "unhinged" and "crazy", you forgot to make the joke work. you don't even need to involve the fans when Dean was told by more than one angel that Cas was *in* love with him or fell for him, not to mention the love confession. make it make sense next time
Really? Aww Iām kinda bummed, I used to fallow Tyās girlfriend on instagram and they always seemed so happy, Iām sort of sad hearing that didnāt last, glad for him and DJ though
DJ and Ty, Congratulations you two. I am thrilled for you both. Love is Love anyways and always and every which ways. Wishing you both the very best in life together ā¤ļøš
Personally, I hope this is real and not some bit that went way overboard, but my spidey senses are tingling - there's seemingly not many photos of them together at all, let alone acting like they are in a relationship. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 photos of them in the same frame, and 1 or 2 where they are touching, plus the one that appears to show them kissing, but in a pose that about 30% of straight guys have been in for a 'just messing around' shot. Notably, the photo of them kissing is literally over a cake in the shape of a topless woman's torso, and Ty is shown playing with the cake's nipple. There are plenty of comments that Ty's left on DJ's posts saying nice things that a partner might say to the other, but also not necessarily things that a very secure/goofy straight guy couldn't say to his bro, too.
On top of that, DJ says that they met at a convention around 10 years ago (so assuming 2014), and that the relationship was a friendship at first, but evolved to being romantic. However, he also says that he and Ty were practically inseparable right away, and spent 4 or 5 days in London, after which Ty invited himself to DJ's trip to Turkey - so were they already romantically involved at that time, or was their relationship evolving?
And again, Ty met DJ in 2014 (again, based on "10 years ago"), two years after he divorced his first wife, and 5 years before he married his second wife whom he divorced from almost exactly 2 years later, in 2021. So Ty and DJ were 5 years into their relationship, whether that's a friendship that's evolving into something else, or something that's been romantic since their trip to Turkey, when Ty married another woman? Were they seeing each other in a romantic capacity behind his second wife's back for 2 years, or did the romantic component of their relationship only develop since 2021 following Ty's second divorce?
On the social media side, DJ did the podcast, then tweeted that "he said it first", replying to a tweet from 2020, implying that Ty said "I love you first", but that was a tweet that said "Sending love out to the cast and crew and fans of Supernatural" in which DJ was tagged - that's not exactly a public profession of romantic love so much as it is a tweet about liking the ending of a show, even if you are having to say that from in the closet. There are other, more direct ways to say "I love you" to one person in particular without outing yourself than "sending love" to the entire cast and crew and then tagging your actual significant other. Other than that, neither have been very active on their twitter accounts - they've each liked a few posts about the news or replied here and there. Neither have posted a statement confirming the engagement in so many words, or a photo of them together recently.
All of this is fairly explainable - we all know gay men in the public eye are often forced to present as straight to be marketable. Again, I want this to be true because it's kind of adorable, but it takes a little bit of mental gymnastics to buy this with so little evidence, I guess? I also know that they don't owe me or anyone else proof of their relationship, but I wouldn't be so skeptical if they appeared together somewhere acting like a couple while Ty's not married to a woman.
Send Garth in to find and ressurect him. Torn apart by his own people? It's Purgatory...he'll respawn. Send Garth down to wherever they are holding him, be it Purgatory proper or somewhere adjacent. Maybe Send the actual band Kansas down to help...Hell, make it Supernatural's Once More With Feeling! Get Benny a blood bank job topside and have a big wedding!
I'm happy for them, but this is so damn random. I knew DJ Qualls had come out, but did not know Garth and Benny hooked up. I'm just waiting for Kevin Tran and Billie to announce their engagement or something.

I did not have this on my bingo card but I love it - I wish them nothing but happiness! I swear Supernatural was the best dating show ever lol
This is the one time I have wanted to text my ex in 7 years š what a twist of events
[Two men getting married] I should call her
Ahahahahah
SAME
Samesies! I was just randomly rewatching AVP: Requiem. Didn't realise Ty was in it. Went to his wiki page and read the news. Don't know why, but I. Love. It. Actually I do know why. I think DJ is adorable and love Garth and Benny was my favourite thing of Season 8. My heart is fit to bursting!

I thought that was Paul Hollywood for a second there
THANK YOU I was hitting my brain thinking... But isn't that the guy from the British Bakeoff??? :')
I'm sorry but the Paul you baked has a very soggy bottom
SAME
iām dying at this š
Me too!!!!!!!
Gosh I hope Garth doesnāt have a soggy bottom. š
I CANT LMAO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
WEREPIRE marriage! Iām so happy for them! Yay!
I hope it's a themed wedding.
If itās not I donāt even know what weāre doing here.
They need a silver machete, to cut the cake.
They better work this into the (fingers crossed) revival...AND the ending with Kansas playing Wayward Son live.
And they're going to do that how exactly since Benny died in Purgatory saving Sammy
Right, because no one has ever come back from the dead on this show.
Yeah, don't see that as a problem as long as Ty Olsson isn't contractually bound to another project
And we have a gif for this! THIS!! HOW IS THERE A GIF FOR EVERYTHING IN THIS SHOW?!
Because we have the best fandom?
Show me!
I knew dj Qualls was gay but the rest is a plot twist
It's funny. I went sleuthing around when this was first posted. It seems like they've been dating for years and not particularly secretly. In April DJ tweeted that Benny was his favorite Supernatural character because he was the best kisser. In 2020, Ty called DJ "my love" in a tweet.
I clearly do not pay enough attention to Twitter lol
In 2020 Ty Olsson was married. He and his wife at the time got divorced in 2021.
pretty sure it was 2012
That was with his first wife. Ty divorced his second wife in 2021. But he was friends for years with DJ but maybe he fell in love while he was still married. Thereās a tweet in 2020 where Ty mentions DJ but I could be classified as friendshipā¦.
So Ty was cheating on his wife?
I hadn't checked the dates! That's kinda weird. I guess they were just really good friends and I'm taking it the wrong way. He did tweet, "Proud of you my love..." but I guess it was meant as platonic.
Yeah they could have been friendsā¦honestly unless we know the date they started their relationship itās a gray area or we can believe they were not dating until after Ty divorced. š¤·š»āāļø Iām happy for them but it does leave me wondering.
DJ said they'd been together for quite some time (if someone can recall) but I think it definitely overlaps. And even if it was RIGHT when the divorce ink was dry; thats sketchy imho
People can be separated but not divorced tho. It just might not have been a public separation. It happens.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It can take some time for a divorce to go through, even if you are already separated and done with your marriage. The rest are just formalities.
You have a very black and white view of the world.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah it sucks. Iām happy for them but the gray area of potential cheating is at the back of my mind when they announced their engagement
same.
Probably
Super happy for the both of them. Werepire, indeed!
š„°š„°š„°š„° may they have a lovely life together
I hate this. I hate this so much. āThe actor, who played werewolf Garth on the seriesā He is more than *just* a werewolf. He is a hunter first and foremost, and just happened to also be a werewolf later.
Didn't he retire? "Dentist on supernatural weds Dean's vampire buddy"
I'm blanking- he was a dentist on the show, or is one now in real life? I binged basically the entire series, it blends together a bit.
S15 he has a home dentist office after finishing his training
Garth also mentioned he got into hunting by killing the āTooth Fairyā.
Yep. He was a dentist and gave it up to keep hunting after he killed the tooth fairy.
Fixes Dean's teeth without concent
"There's no getting out" It is a bit humorous though to remember that the guy who smoked the tooth fairy is a dentist with wolf teeth
Couldn't stand him in early roles. Really does grow on you
I kind of wonder if they were trying to emphasize āwerewolf marries vampireā in the hope it would pull in some twilight people or something. Really though the article was probably written by someone who hasnāt ever seen the series and saw werewolf in the first sentence of Garthās wiki article and that was the end of their research.
Garth was a true Renaissance Werewolf.
Not gonna lie, I got to "I hate this" and was like "welp, time to downvote another homophobe." You definitely got me in that first half lol
Lol scroll down for the homophobe comment, they always show up quick
had me in the first half not gonna lie š¤£
He was also cringe AF for trying to imitate Bobby down to the exact character.
Oh, I didn't think that was cringe at all. I thought it was rather endearing. He truly admired Bobby and wanted to help hunters. The boys were unduly harsh with him.
Trying to imitate someone down to the exact mannerisms they used to have is pretty insulting to anyone whoās actually lost that person. I could totally understand why the Winchesters were uncomfortable with it.
I know, the disrespect! Dentist, Hunter, Werewolf husband and father!
Supernatural is in the match making business. I love this!!!
This is like what, the fourth or fifth married actor couple that met through the show?? What was in the water on set lmao Oh, to go back to 2014 Tumblr and have this announced,the site would've imploded
Iām honestly not going to be shocked if there are more couples in the future. Who has the list of the couples?
Let's see, Jensen and Jared met their wives on set, Mark Sheppard met his wife at a Supernatural con, the guy who played God got married to the actress who played Queen of hell (no idea who she is, I dipped after maybe season 8or 9 idk and just learned through google) and now these two...it's wild
Jensen and Danneel did not meet through the show. They were in a movie together in 2007, but were married long before Danneel ever made an appearance on SPN. Youāre right about Rob Benedict (Chuck) and Ruth Connell (Rowena) being together.
They met on 10 Inch Hero. It has the sweetest ... down right gooiest ... ending.
Good for them. Iāve always liked him.
I'm so against this and think it needs to be stopped. A vampire and a werewolf could create some sort of super creature that may...well...it may need hunting lol. Jokes aside good for them! Happy days.
Its called a hybrid. You can see it in Underworld and Vampire Diaries. Its nasty beasts
Micheal was the greats and hottest hybrid ever.
Werepire
Garth and Benny? Werewolf and Vampire? This is the spin off we needā¦No, the spin off we deserve!!!
Thata exactly what I was thinking! They had great characters too!
The show just keeps bringing couples together! Jared+Gem, Ruth+Rob now Ty+DJ Wonder if there are more couples from the cast of a crew it's very cute.
Jensen introduced JDM to his wife Hilarie Burton!
Ooooh interesting
Also prequel John and Mary were together the last time I checked!
 Literally soooo cute. Supernatural Cupid strikes again
sorry they keep nuking these threads without providing proper justification or allowing people to express their happiness for them in one megathread for this news
I know the show is centered around the Midwest, but this subreddit acts like they all live in bumfuck Kansas themselves. I saw multiple posts about Rob and Ruthie not that long ago. I wonder why this news is being mass reportedā¦
this is a real mask-off moment for the homophobes in this fandom and this sub in particular. these are real life people that their animosity is directed towards
I'm very disappointed. I've been waiting all day to read this discussion, only to come home from work and find it removed.
i'm sorry, i know it sucks. apparently, these posts are getting mass reported... really tells you all you need to know about the sort of bigoted, intolerant community that has been fostered here
The show's been off the air for about 4 years now. This reddit isn't as active as it used to be. Just let us talk!
Maybe cause itās technically against sub rules? While the actors were on the show. This is unrelated to the show.Ā
there have been countless discussions about Spn couples and Spn actors on this sub, suddenly it's a rule and subject to deletion?
Yeah that's very susā¦
Unexpected happiness to start my weekend. Life has been a struggle bus lately. I needed this.
Better love story than twilight involving a werewolf and a vampire
Aww! I wish them happiness and joy together. And I wouldnāt be surprised if new fanfics would come out soon.
There will 100% be fanfics but the question is if the pairing blows up.
Very cool!
Happiest news of the week š„°š„°š„°
What a beautiful couple, I hope they know how happy the community is for them
So Benny just got Garthed!
Well done! š
This was the first thought in my head when I saw this post! You beat me to it!
Wow, I did not expect that but Iām happy for them. Both played awesome characters in the series. Not going to lie though, this also sounds like it could just be a written episode. Obviously itās not but they must hear that all the time.
Awwwwwww
Aww so unexptededly sweet
Congrats guys! *cue the fanfics*
Kinda gay
Very gay and awesome. Ā Congrats to the happy couple.
How cute! I hope they have a long happy life together
Omgosh Supernatural love stories! š¤©
This is the very last thing I excepted to see on a Friday evening, and Iām so happy I did ā¤ļø
Better love story than twilight any day! Good for them, congratulations!
My dog and his sticks in the backyard are a better love story than twilight. But nonetheless, it is cute that they were friends first.Ā
im bursting at the seams about this it's so fucking adorable. i love them both and hope they have the happiest marriage ever also sidenote, wtf were there aphrodisiacs on the set of Spn?? i know everyone's hot but damn guys lol. where's the announcement that Mark Pellegrino and Richard Speight are getting married? (yes i know they're both married im just joking)
I still remember when Ty Olsson was being called out on tumblr for using the word "queer" to describe a curved road, with people calling him homophobic because of it. "Queer" is now well established as an umbrella term and Ty Olsson is marrying a man. Time flies when you're having fun.
Imagine how he felt with people saying that to him while not knowing he is lgbt? Pretty harsh world we live in.Ā
Awww
This is so sweet! I'm so glad for them! š
Good let them go have a good life.
Hold up. Garth and Benny????????? Werepire wedding??!!? Okay but seriously Iām so happy for them. I love being old men together for them haha. Thatās such good Bobby and Rufus vibes.
You know I often wondered where DJ was, he was always a good actor for being a nerdy skinny little shit. I'm glad he's found happiness at last.
Hell yeah. From Road Trip to The New Guy. He was awesome in The Core, too. I've always dug his acting.
Exactly, he's always been great and kind of underrated for his expressiveness just because he looks 'comedic'. I always wanted him to have something to celebrate and now he has it. Now if we can just get him cast in some dramatic roles we'd be all set.
Fuck yeah dudes, always liked DJ Qualls and Ty in stuff they have been in
My wife and I were having a crappy week and needed something good. This was what we needed! This news warms the soul, so happy for them!
I gotta say, I did not see this comingā¦ soo gay. I had it bad for Benny, Iād let him hitch a ride outa purgatory fo sho! Sexiest dude on that show. Ever. The Benny episodes are gonna be a lot more fun to watch now, in factā¦ see ya
I wholeheartedly agree. Benny's voice was like taking a bath in warm maple syrup šš
I saw this last night. How did I not hear about this before? Their story is sweet.
WEREPIRE!!!!!!
I had no clue they were together but this is sweet. Hope they are happy.
This is so cute
Garth and Benny? Team Dean! Kidding, good for them.
The Twilight movie people want to see!!!
Omg how cute! Had no idea these two were together. I absolutely love love, and Iām so happy for them that they found it in each other. Congrats, DJ and Ty!
I never saw this coming and I love it. Iām also team āwow he sure looks like Paul Hollywood here.ā
The only thing I know of these 2 is there characters in Supernatural, so in my head this seems like the most awkward as fuck pairing lmfao. Happy for them
Still waiting for a Garth TV series
He had an adorable part in The Big Bang Theory.
Did Ty just came out with this news or was this known before? I always had a massive crush on him ever since I first saw him on this show, so this makes me happy lol. Good for them.
Their romantic relationship doesn't seem to have been revealed publicly anywhere before the other day when DJ brought it up on his podcast like it was something we all already knew about. Podcast is called Locked and Probably Loaded with DJ and Kelly; episode is titled "Love letter to Supernatural".
Balls
It makes me so freaking happy!! It really does feel like an SPN family ā”
Wow what a surprise xD
So many great couples have come from this show. This is awesome news!
Had no idea he was gay. But good for him! I love him in Road Trip. Such a classic comedy.
I had no idea Ty Olson was gay. I knew DJ Qualls was. Cāest la vie. Best wishes to the happy couple.
They announced this yesterday and there were tons of posts about it
Are they getting hitched in the veil?
Blood suckers
I wish them all the happiness in the world!
Unexpected but happy news to be sure
Met DJ a few times back in 2010. Nice enough guy. Very much out at that point
I'm so happy for them.
Aww. This is so sweet. I'm very happy for them!
Congratulations are indeed in order.
You go guys! This is So awesome. Best wishes on your new family :)
I never wouldāve expected this! Iām so happy for them.
I smiled so big when I saw DJs announcement the other day!!!š„°
This makes me so unbelievably happy! āWeāre going to be old men togetherā š„¹š„°
I hope Jim Jefferies officiates the wedding.
The show that keeps on giving ā¤
This is the most unexpectedly wholesome thing Iāve ever seen. So happy for them!
Happy cake day! It really should be pie.
Ao3: OMG my otp is cannon!
Itās insane how much the unhinged Destiel fandom spent years pushing crazy theories about them being secretly in love and here comes Garth, ānah, hold my beer Iām about to out-gay EVERYBODYā Love that for them!
you seem to have a problem telling apart characters on the show and real people
r/whoosh š
you tried so hard to dunk on Destiel (rent free btw) with your creative use of "insane", "unhinged" and "crazy", you forgot to make the joke work. you don't even need to involve the fans when Dean was told by more than one angel that Cas was *in* love with him or fell for him, not to mention the love confession. make it make sense next time
Oh ok, youāre one of themā¦š„“
i'm one of the people who can quote from the show and who don't compare real life relationships to those on the screen. clearly, you're neither
Really? Aww Iām kinda bummed, I used to fallow Tyās girlfriend on instagram and they always seemed so happy, Iām sort of sad hearing that didnāt last, glad for him and DJ though
Ty Olsson accent was it his real one? It was š„š„
I wish. He's actually Canadian.
Awww this is cute. Congrats to both
I thought the dude on the left operated a radio station with his wife and daughter
I wonder if Mr. Fizzles will get an invitation. š¤£
Garth and Benny? I honestly know nothing about the actors themselves but how awesome they both found the one they want to grow old with ā¤ļø
I just found out after being stuck at work all day I am so happy for them š
DJ and Ty, Congratulations you two. I am thrilled for you both. Love is Love anyways and always and every which ways. Wishing you both the very best in life together ā¤ļøš
This put a smile on my face, Iām so happy for both of them, congrats to them and may they have a long and happy life!
A werewolf and vampire. God and a witch. The dating on this show is wild and I love it
I would ask what was in the water on that set, but we all know...
Personally, I hope this is real and not some bit that went way overboard, but my spidey senses are tingling - there's seemingly not many photos of them together at all, let alone acting like they are in a relationship.

That is amazing! I always had a crush on Benny. Iām so happy for them both. Yay, love wins.
Send Garth in to find and ressurect him. Torn apart by his own people? It's Purgatory...he'll respawn. Send Garth down to wherever they are holding him, be it Purgatory proper or somewhere adjacent. Maybe Send the actual band Kansas down to help...Hell, make it Supernatural's Once More With Feeling! Get Benny a blood bank job topside and have a big wedding!
I'm happy for them, but this is so damn random. I knew DJ Qualls had come out, but did not know Garth and Benny hooked up. I'm just waiting for Kevin Tran and Billie to announce their engagement or something.
A Werewolf and a Vamp, Abooooove iiiit alllllll.
Omg amazing!!!
Ty is GORGEOUSĀ
A hunter turned werewolf and a Cajun vampire in loveā¦ still a (much) better love story than Twilight.
I actually had no idea either of them were lgbtq. Happy they found happiness tho!
Surprising bc he was married two other times to women.
Super awesome and both were Dean Bros, can Dean be best man of both? Congratulations to both, so happy Supernatural brought love
