The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus & Emily Kinney Are Reportedly Dating

The Walking Dead actors Norman Reedus and Emily Kinney are proving that love conquers all—even the undead—as the two are reportedly dating.

Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon, and Kinney, who played the now-dead Beth Greene, reportedly sparked a romance on The Walking Dead‘s set that blossomed into a relationship.

“They had a connection early on in the show, but the romance developed recently,” an undisclosed source told US Magazine. “They’re still pretty guarded about it.”

After Kinney’s character met her tragic end during The Walking Dead’s fifth midseason finale, Kinney and Reedus reportedly stayed in touch through texts, convention appearances, and Kinney’s musical gigs (the actor is also launching a musical career). According to reports, Reedus has been the first in line for Kinney’s concerts, and was one of the first to send his condolences to Kinney after the cast discovered that Beth Greene would die.

“Everyone reached out, though I remember Norman texted me—he’s so sweet,” Kinney told US back in December.

While the seriousness of their relationship is unknown, we can at least assume that it’s a long-distance one. Reedus is currently filming the sixth season of The Walking Dead in Georgia, while Kinney is traveling across the country on a musical tour.
