We all love 9-1-1 for its crazy emergencies and the amazing firefighters and dispatchers who handle them. But let's be real part of the fun is also getting invested in the characters' personal dramas especially their love lives! On screen Bobby and Athena are total relationship goals but what about the actors behind these roles? Specifically everyone's wondering about Peter Krause who plays our beloved Captain Bobby Nash. Is he as lucky in love as Bobby is now?
Peter Krause's Real-Life Relationship Status: Unlike Bobby Nash He's Currently Flying Solo
So good news and maybe slightly sad news for anyone crushing on Peter Krause: in real life unlike his happily married character Bobby Nash Peter Krause is currently single. Yep that's right ladies and gents Bobby Nash might be settled down but Peter Krause is back on the market.
The scoop is Peter was previously in a long-term relationship with actress Lauren Graham. You might know Lauren from Parenthood where ironically she played Peter's sister! Talk about keeping it in the family huh? They were together for over ten years which is basically a lifetime in Hollywood years. Sadly though they called it quits back in 2021.
Peter himself has been pretty private about the breakup and hasn't really talked about dating since. Lauren however opened up a bit in an interview saying that maybe they just didn't ask some of those big life questions early enough you know "What are your values and what do you envision?". It sounds like sometimes even when things are good for a long time life goals just change. No drama just grown-up stuff.
Bobby Nash's On-Screen Romance: A 9-1-1 Love Story for the Ages
While Peter's personal life is currently single and ready to mingle (maybe) his 9-1-1 character Bobby Nash is living the married life dream with Athena Grant played by the amazing Angela Bassett. Their relationship on the show has been a real heart warmer. They have been through thick and thin fires literally and figuratively and always come out stronger.
In the latest season we have seen Bobby dealing with some serious family history coming back to haunt him but his relationship with Athena is a rock solid support. They are total partners in crime both in tackling emergencies and navigating life's ups and downs. It’s a great contrast to Peter’s real life situation and just shows his range as an actor right?
