Sarah Shahi And Adam Demos’ Relationship Timeline Is A Whirlwind
If their onscreen chemistry made you sweat, just wait until you see them offscreen.
All anyone has been talking about recently is Netflix’s hottest new show Sex/Life. With the steamy sex scenes and undeniable sexual chemistry between its lead stars Sarah Shahi and Adam Demos, it comes as no surprise that the gorgeous couple started dating in real life. The series, which dropped on Netflix in June 2021, follows Billie Connelly (Shahi), a suburban housewife who isn’t satisfied with her life or her husband Cooper (Mike Vogel), and finds herself fantasizing over the freedom she had with her ex-boyfriend Brad (Demos) when she lived in New York City. Her fantasy soon turns to reality, resulting in a love triangle fans can hardly get enough of. The on-screen connection between 41-year-old Shahi and 36-year-old Demos is so intense that it made its way off-screen too. Since meeting on set, Shahi and Demos have been inseparable, sharing Instagram stories and videos expressing their love. These aren’t the only signs things between the pair are getting serious. Sarah Shahi and Adam Demos' relationship timeline is a whirlwind, and their love story will hopefully outlive their Netlix show.

In a video posted on Sex/Life’s official Instagram page, Shahi discussed the instant chemistry she felt with Demos when they met. “I remember meeting Adam in the trailer on the first day and, you know, he’s tall and charismatic and good-looking. And I remember being like, ‘Oh…okay,’” she said. “We did our first scene together and I heard how he said the words and I was like, ‘Oh, now I get why you’re Brad. Like he just owns that mysteriousness. He owns the darkness, but he’s also light at the same time. And I think it’s hard for an actor to be able to hold those two things simultaneously. And Adam does it effortlessly. He is effortlessly cool.”

We met in the makeup trailer and we just got on instantly. We had the exact same taste in music. We had the same taste in whiskey and tequilas and I was really blown away by him just as a person and all I knew was that I wanted more. … And then I got an opportunity to act with him, and I will say, sitting across the other side of the camera with him was just a privilege. You’re only as good as your scene partner. He’s amazing in the show.”
