'Tell Me Lies' is heating up the screen with its captivating drama, but it seems the sparks aren't just limited to the plot. Co-stars Sonia Mena and Spencer House, who portray the on-screen couple Wrigley and Pippa, have confirmed their off-screen romance. After weeks of speculation, People magazine revealed that the duo has been dating for several years.
The buzz around their relationship started when Jenny Lin, the show's make-up artist, spilled the beans during an interview with influencer Rose Gallagher on her Substack. This revelation set the internet abuzz and fans couldn't help but root for the couple.
“We love seeing how life imitates art with Sonia and Spencer's chemistry both on and off the screen,” a fan commented on social media, highlighting the seamless blend of their on-screen and real-life roles.
In 'Tell Me Lies,' Mena's character, Pippa, navigates a world of complex relationships, befriending Lucy Albright and Wrigley's best friend, Stephen DeMarco, during their college years. The series, based on Carola Lovering's novel, features a dual timeline set in 2015 and a decade earlier, exploring the tangled web of youthful friendships and romances.
Grace Van Patten and Jackson White, who also star in the series, recently turned heads with a sizzling Valentine's Day campaign for Calvin Klein, adding another layer of intrigue to the show's already dramatic narrative.
Sonia Mena's journey to stardom began long before 'Tell Me Lies.' Despite her shy nature as a child, she discovered a passion for performing early on. Starting with dance at three years old, she later transitioned to poetry, performing at the Destiny Arts Center in West Oakland. Her big break came with her acting debut in the 2019 film 'Feral,' followed by roles in shows like 'The Deuce.'
Mena, who identifies as non-binary, is making waves in the entertainment industry, and 'Tell Me Lies' marks her most significant project to date. With her undeniable talent and on-screen charisma, she's a rising star to keep an eye on.
As 'Tell Me Lies' continues to captivate audiences, the real-life romance of Sonia Mena and Spencer House adds an extra layer of allure to the series. Their love story is a testament to the magic that can happen when life imitates art, leaving fans eager to see more of their on-screen and off-screen chemistry.
