Though Lauren Graham isn't technically married, she does have a committed partner, Peter Krause, who played Adam Braverman on "Parenthood." They have been dating ever since working together on the show.
They had actually met before when they worked together on "Caroline in the City" in 1995 (via People). Although they noticed chemistry right away while on the set of "Parenthood," they didn't jump immediately into a romance.
Part of their reluctance may have been because they played siblings on the show, and a public romance may have put a kibosh on the storyline. However, another reason is that they didn't want to rush into a "showmance." Besides, Graham was a bit leery of "handsome actor types," she said (via Good Housekeeping).
Yet, the bond they formed could not be denied. "We couldn't stop talking. Not about ourselves, but about the world and books and family," explains Graham. "Once we got together, there was no game play. It was like, You like me, and I like you. It gave me an understanding of life: This is how things happen, and it's completely random."
