Love has blossomed off screen for Home And Away actors Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor.
Confidential understands the pair have been dating for several months, having started off as workmates and close friends before taking their relationship to the next step.
“They’re both from Queensland and share a love of the outdoors,” a friend of the couple said.
“Soph and Paddy really did start as just good friends and things developed from there. They are super private and want to keep it between them as much as possible.”
O’Connor and Dillman play on screen lovers too with their characters Ziggy and Dean boyfriend and girlfriend on the popular Channel 7 soap.
They’ve been seen regularly together at social events, including the recent opening of the Chicago musical at the Capitol Theatre, but have done their best to keep their romance private.
It is not the first time love has spilt from the screen to personal life for Home And Away actors. In fact, there is a long list of Home And Away couples going way back to the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Isabel Lucas, who played Kim Hyde and Tasha Andrews on the show.
Demi Harman and Alec Snow were also a couple in real life, as were Steve Peacocke and now wife Bridgette Sneddon, Rebecca Breeds and Luke Mitchell.
Current castmates James Stewart and Sarah Roberts were married earlier this year.
