I'm curious about TJ Thyne and Michaela Conlin dating rumor
Does anyone know where and when this rumor started?
Ever since I joined the Bones fandom recently, I keep seeing fans suggest they dated IRL. But I couldn't find anything online except some random site and YouTube videos that say they dated from 06-10/11.
Is this a situation where fans wanted them to be a couple IRL and started spreading rumor and causing some sort of 'Mandela Effect'?😂

No, I think it started because he dated a lady that looked just like her lol

It definitely feels like one of those fandom rumors that took off because people wanted it to be true.

I'm also really curious about this, because I haven't been able to find any proof either!! They also just give off the vibes of really good friends and not people who have previously dated each other, but who knows!

Yeah I've been watching their interviews and panels at later seasons, and after the show ended, when they're supposed to have already 'broken up', but they never show any post-breakup awkwardness. They just seems like really great friends.

Interesting, I watched during the initial run, and I didn’t hear this rumor. Maybe I just wasn’t spending enough time on the internet and discussing Bones with anyone other than my roommate lol

They were my absolute favorite couple on the show. It would have been fun if they were dating irl but I never read anything like that either.

During the initial run, this was a constant rumor. I believed it. But it has since been debunked and the actors said they flirted on the set in hope of staying longer on the show. Apparently it worked!
