Aside from Jack and Mel, another love story fans have been enjoying seeing in Virgin River is Lizzie and Denny’s. It can’t be denied that Sarah Dugdale and Kai Bradbury have played their roles effectively, with a lot of viewers already shipping for them in real life. So, what’s the real score between these two?
Fans saw this couple parting ways in the fourth season, only to reunite in the recent Virgin River Season 5, which delighted fans. The two have shown incredible on-screen chemistry, making everyone believe that something romantic may be happening between them beyond the series’ fictional world. This leads to questions if a real-life romance is possible. So, here’s what we know.
Are Sarah Dugdale and Kai Bradbury dating?
Despite the fans’ high hopes, this may not be the case. Dugdale and Bradbury don’t have anything romantic between them. Their relationship is purely platonic, and you can even sense that in the latter’s interview.
The actor has nothing but good works for his co-star. Ahead of Virgin River Season 5’s release, the 29-year-old revealed to PureWow that if there’s one thing he has developed with Dugdale, it’s friendship.
“Sarah is such a joy. Her laugh cracks me up,” he said. “Just like everyone else on the show, she’s got such a positive energy.”
Bradbury even shared they had a good bond on the series’ set, as they would play Mario Kart in his trailer with their Nintendo Switch if the cameras weren’t rolling. By the looks of it, their good working relationship makes their on-screen romance believable, proving they’re good actors with their ability to convince everyone that they’re indeed an item.
Are Sarah Dugdale and Kai Bradbury in respective relationships?
According to reports, Dugdale has been in a relationship with fellow actor Charles Nesbitt since 2019. However, the two have chosen to keep their romance private. For some background, Nesbitt did Hospital Show, Bloody Knuckles, Charmed, Five Summer Weddings, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.
He also appeared in the first season of Virgin River as a comforting husband in 2019. However, it happened before Dugdale joined the show, so it’s unclear if they met in the series.
Alternatively, Bradbury is believed to be single. No reports are made if he’s dating anyone today.
What’s next for Sarah Dugdale and Kai Bradbury’s characters in Virgin River Season 5?
Warning: Major spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.
After reuniting in Virgin River Season 5, Lizzie and Denny are probably expecting their first child. It looks like Mel and Jack aren’t the only ones whose family will grow in the series, but this young couple too. Before Virgin River Season 5 Part 1 officially ended, Lizzie told Denny she thought she was pregnant.
However, fans have to wait for the release of Virgin River Season 5 Part 2 or the Holiday episodes to confirm if Lizzie’s assumption is true. As Denny thinks about leaving the Virgin River, this huge news may give him a change of heart.
Virgin River Season 5 Holiday episodes will be released on November 30. As big revelations are about to happen here, it may set up several major cliffhangers before Virgin River Season 6 comes.
