Fans of The Office know that one of the most popular story arches in the mockumentary sitcom was watching the relationship between Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly grow. Their love story from co-workers to spouses had fans wanting them to be together in real life.
However, Jim and Pam, played by actors John Krasinski and Jenna Fisher were already with other people, with Krasinski married to actress Emily Blunt, and Fisher married to director Lee Kirk. This goes for the rest of the cast, too. As wonderful as their on-screen relationships seemed on the show, most of these stars found their true soulmates outside of Hollywood.
