There's a new Hollywood couple.

It was recently revealed that Orange Is the New Black writer Lauren Morelli and Steve Basilone, her husband of two years, have broken up. Morelli is now reportedly dating one of the Netflix series' female stars, Samira Wiley, who plays Poussey Washington on the hit show.

Morelli came out as gay via an essay for Identities.Mic in May 2014, and explained, "I went through it all on set: I fell in love with a woman, and I watched my life play out on screen...It feels liberating and appropriate to live my life in front of you."

But Morelli and Wiley aren't the only celebs who've had a romance blossom on set.

Just take a look at these examples:

Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter: The creative film director and writer became intrigued with the actress while shooting the 2001 flick Planet of the Apes. Although the duo never married, they have two sons together and, as you may have noticed, Bonham Carter is a frequent star in many of Burton's films.

Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg: The Texan actress met the film director after landing the female lead for the Raiders of the Lost Ark prequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984. Capshaw and Spielberg married in 1991.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie: This pair started a little differently than the others. Ritchie was introduced to Madge when she recorded a track for his film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' in 1998 before marrying in 2000. The director then cast Madonna in his reboot for Swept Away. The couple—who have one biological son named Rocco and an adopted son David together—split in 2008.

Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman: After an eight-year relationship (and a daughter, Lily) with actor Michael Sheen, the big-screen vamp later started falling for her then-married Underworld director in 2003. It must have been love at first sight for the both of them because in 2004 the couple married and have been together ever since.

Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson: The actress started dating the director-producer in 2002 after meeting on the Resident Evil set. The couple had their first child together in 2007 and officially said "I do" in 2009. She's currently pregnant with their second child. Prior to Anderson, Jovovich married her Fifth Element director Luc Besson in 1997 and divorced two years later.

Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney: The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host began dating McNearney, one of the show's head writers, in 2009. A few years later, in July 2013, the pair tied the knot in Ojai, Calif. Almost exactly one year later, the duo welcomed their first child together.

Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann: This longtime Hollywood couple met while Mann was auditioning for Ben Stiller's The Cable Guy (1996). Apatow, the writer and producer for the film, read the lines to auditioning actresses as a stand-in for Jim Carrey. They married in 1997 and have two daughters, Iris and Maude.
