It’s been almost seven years since Madam Secretary ended, and it’s still being talked about. The CBS political thriller ran for six seasons, and those six seasons are not the only things to come out of the show. Thanks to Madam Secretary, co-stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly found each other. They played husband and wife Henry and Elizabeth McCord and tied the knot IRL just last year. I still can’t believe they got married in real life, and now they’re once again playing a married couple.
There have been plenty of couples who met while working together, and who continued to work together. Leoni and Daly began dating in 2014, just a few months after Madam Secretary premiered, and their relationship is as strong as ever. So strong that they are playing husband and wife on TV for the first time since becoming husband and wife for NBC’s Newlyweds. Premiering in October on the 2026 TV schedule, the series follows a free-spirited woman and buttoned-up professor who “marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship.”
