How Long Have Grace Van Patten & Jackson White Been Together?
Grace and Jackson started dating in 2022 after they began working together on Tell Me Lies. The couple played on-screen love interests Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco, and their relationship is highly toxic and dramatic. However, Grace and Jackson are excellent actors; they didn’t make their fictional characters’ relationship a reality.

But the actors — knowing that a workplace relationship could stir trouble — talked about the reasons why they shouldn’t date, since he was still in the running to co-star with her on Tell Me Lies. But Grace made the first move by kissing him, and she told the publication, “I’m happy I did.”
