Eliza Taylor has revealed how she and her husband Bob Morley fell in love with each other.
Taylor and Morley, best known for their roles as Clarke Griffin and Bellamy Blake on The CW series The 100, made headlines in June 2019 when they announced that they had gotten married. The news came as a surprise to many, as the two didn’t take their relationship public until the wedding announcement. Although the co-stars have become more open about their relationship since then, details about their love story remain scarce. That’s why fans of the couple were delightfully surprised when Taylor casually took to Instagram in July 2020 to share how she and Morley started dating and eventually realized that they were meant for each other.
When did Bob Morley and Eliza Taylor start dating?
Eliza Taylor, 33, and Bob Morley, 38, had been friends since they started working on The 100 back in 2013. Their friendship, however, didn’t turn into a romance until 2019. Taylor share that she felt like her platonic relationship with Morley was “evolving” into something more in February of that year when “they bonded over the hurt of breaking up” with their respective exes and “talked about the daunting process of being single again.” The actress said that they “laughed and cried” together at that time “as friends do.”
Their relationship, however, completely “changed” the following month when Morley visited Taylor and her friend in their new apartment in Vancouver. “He came over to help set up our new place when out of the blue — he asked me out on a date,” Taylor wrote. “It seemed silly as we’d been friends for so long, in fact, I thought he was joking! But I laughed and said yes.” The actress called the date a “success,” noting that it was the first time they were “truly seeing each other.”
When they flew back to their home country of Australia in April of the same year, Taylor and Morley discovered that they share the same dreams, and those brought them even closer to each other. “While sitting on the porch of his sister’s house while looking out over the farm we talked about the future, what we wanted our lives to be,” Taylor wrote. “We wanted all the same things. To live in the countryside, to have kids, to still pursue our dreams in LA while having a strong home base in Australia. And just as easily as that conversation came, so did the proposal. We said, ‘We want this life, we want it together, so let’s not waste any more time and get married.’”
The following month, the couple tied the knot on a mountain-top in Hawaii. And though things between them happened so fast, Taylor made it clear that they were not trying to break the internet or trying to hurt their ex-partners. “We were in love. Plain and simple,” she explained.
After the wedding, the husband and wife bought a house and a farm in Australia, which she called their “forever home.”
