Michael C. Hall was formerly married to his ‘Dexter’ co-star

Actor Jennifer Carpenter has been a staple of Dexter since the beginning of the series. Carpenter plays Debra Morgan, the foul-mouthed police officer sister of Dexter. Deb and Dexter have a close and complicated relationship, as do the actors who play them.

The couple became romantically involved while filming the series and married in 2008. The relationship was short-lived and the pair divorced in 2011. Thankfully, the divorce seemed relatively amicable, and Hall and Carpenter continued to work together on the set of Dexter for several more years.

Now the popular series brought these two actors together again. The revival, Dexter: New Blood once again stars Hall and Carpenter. A decade has passed since the pair’s divorce, so many fans are wondering if Hall has entered into a new romantic relationship.

Is ‘Dexter: New Blood’ star Michael C. Hall currently married?

The now 50-year-old Hall married book reviewer and novelist Morgan Macgregor in 2016 and the pair have been together ever since. If Hall’s current marriage is news to fans, it’s likely because Macgregor takes her privacy very seriously. The pair reportedly dated for at least four years before making their first public appearance at the Primetime Emmys in 2012, Suggest reports.

As for Carpenter, she married Avett Brothers musician Seth Avett in 2016. Carpenter and Avett welcomed a young son named Isaac into the world in 2015, InStyle reports.

Does Michael C. Hall have any kids?

Hall and Macgregor do not currently have any children, and the actor also does not have children from any of his previous marriages. However, themes of fatherhood play heavily into the Dexter revival. In fact, the theme of Dexter: New Blood is “fathers and sons.”

After 10 long years, Dexter’s son Harrison finds him in the small town of Iron Lake, New York. Dexter struggles with raising a teenage boy who he fears carries his same dark passenger. At the same time, a man named Kurt Caldwell searches for his missing son, who he knows to have his own demons.
