Did Lauren German and Tom Ellis Ever Date? Fact-Checking Deckerstar Dating Rumors
Both performers addressed the Deckerstar fascination directly throughout the show's run. In promotional interviews, they consistently described their connection as closer to siblings or lifelong classmates than lovers.
German often praised Ellis as the ultimate scene partner, citing his patience and generosity as the foundation that allowed her to take emotional risks on camera. Ellis echoed the sentiment, speaking openly about how rare it is to find a co-lead who matches your work ethic while refusing to take themselves too seriously. In an extensive retrospective with TV Guide, both actors reflected on Deckerstar's romance as something "precious" that they protected together on the page. They treated the fictional relationship with deliberate craft, mapping out Chloe and Lucifer's milestones with showrunners Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson. That shared ownership of the characters required mutual trust, not real-world dating.
