The Good Doctor is ABC’s medical drama following Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon, who relocates from the small town of Casper, Wyoming, to take a job at the esteemed San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital in San Jose, California. Shaun also has savant syndrome, a rare condition in which a person with a developmental condition, such as autism, has an amazing talent or ability, according to the SSM Health Treffert Center, which also notes that savant syndrome can be congenital or acquired later in childhood or adulthood. The popular series debuted in September 2017 and was recently renewed for a seventh season at ABC.

Freddie Highmore (Shaun Murphy)

The Good Doctor lead actor Freddie Highmore secretly got married to an unnamed English woman in 2021 – who we now know as Klarissa Munz. The lead actor revealed the exciting and shocking news in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September 2021. “I’m as happy as a Brit could be… I’m married to a very wonderful woman now.” When Kimmel asked if she’s a Brit as well, Highmore responded: “She is… I just still can’t get over the terminology and the vocab,” Highmore told Kimmel at the time. “A ‘married man’ just sounds very old and ‘my wife’ sounds very possessive. We don’t really use [those terms] yet, but we just point to the rings and be like, ‘Here, look, draw your own conclusions.’” 

Highmore has chosen to keep his and Munz’s relationship out of the public eye. Parade reported that Munz is believed to be a web designer who most likely attended Cambridge University with Highmore. Before his marriage to Munz, Highmore was linked romantically to Abigail Breslin, Emma Roberts, Dakota Fanning and Sarah Bolger. Check out Highmore’s full relationship history here.

Richard Schiff (Aaron Glassman)

The Good Doctor’s Richard Schiff has been married to his wife, actress Sheila Kelley, since 1996. The pair met in the early ‘90s before their respective TV careers had taken off. They share two children together: son Gus, born in 1994, and daughter Ruby, born in 2000. In addition to starring in L.A. Law, Sisters and Lost, Kelly played a very special role as Schiff’s love interest in The Good Doctor. She portrayed Debbie Wexler, a former barista at St. Bonaventure Hospital who was formerly married to Schiff’s character, Aaron Glassman. We first saw Debbie on the show in Season 1, when she developed a relationship with Glassman. They got married in Season 3, but by Season 4, Debbie walked out on Dr. Glassman right before his home burned down.

Paige Spara (Lea Dilallo)

Paiga Spara is currently dating a private figure named Graham Young. In March 2023, The Good Doctor actress announced their relationship with an Instagram photo of them on a balcony in Malibu, California. The photo showed Young holding Spara as she wrapped her legs around him.

Spara’s co-star on The Good Doctor, Noah Galvin, who has played Dr. Asher Wolke since Season 4, seemed to confirm that the post was a “hard launch” for Spara’s relationship. “Hard for this hard launch!” he commented. Most recently, she shared a photo of them smooching on the beach. “Heaven with my G,” she wrote.

Fiona Gubelmann (Morgan Reznick)

Fiona Gubelman is married to actor Alex Weed. Weed guest starred on The Good Doctor as Chris Santos, a leukemia patient, in Season 2, Episodes 10 and 11. Although it’s unclear when the couple got married, it’s reported that Gubelman and Weed first met when they were students at UCLA.

For the couple’s wedding anniversary, Gubelman posted a funny video on Instagram where she shoved cake into her husband’s face. “Happy Anniversary @thebestalexweed. There’s no one whose face I’d rather shove cake in Here’s to another 752 years,” she wrote on July 5, 2022.

Christina Chang (Audrey Lim)

The Good Doctor actress Christina Chang is married to tech leader Soam Lall. According to her husband’s LinkedIn page, he currently works as a Tech Vertical Lead for TikTok. He also founded the company Kinnecting, a mobile first social discovery platform exclusively for parents. (The company no longer exists.)

On March 9, 2023, Chang posted a sweet tribute to her husband on Instagram. “you x me. 12 years since this photo was taken on the first time we celebrated your birthday (during our one night in Bangkok, literally). Happiest of birthdays @soamlall 🤎 Cheers to another fabulous year, we love you x,” the post said. The couple has one daughter together, Samara, who was born on October 5, 2012.

Hill Harper (Marcus Andrews)

Hill Harper is currently not dating anyone. But The Good Doctor actor was previously linked with actresses Taraji P. Henson from 2002 to 2005 and Regina Hall. “Regina Hall is one of the most beautiful, funny, amazing women,” he gushed about his former girlfriend in an episode of TVOne’s Unsung in April 2023. “Yeah, we were dating during that time.”

As for his relationship with Henson, Harper also commented on that as well – including why they didn’t get married. “Taraji Henson and I were in a relationship for about a year and a half, two years. Wonderful relationship. Just because you’re in a healthy great relationship that ends doesn’t means it wasn’t successful or it was a failure. Not all relationships are meant to end in marriage,” the actor explained.

Will Yun Lee (Alex Park)

Will Yun Lee is married to actress Jennifer Birmingham. They tied in the knot in 2010 in Shreveport, Louisiana. The couple had their son, Cash, in 2013. The actor spoke about the scary moment when learned that his toddler had a stroke. “I was shooting a TV show in New York, and my wife called and said that Cash wasn’t able to hold his milk bottle,” Lee recalled to TV Line in February 2023. “He was three years old at the time, and he kept dropping it.”

Lee said that they went on a year-and-a-half long journey to discover the cause of Cash’s medical problems. Finally, Stanford neurosurgeon Dr. Gary Steinberg correctly diagnosed Cash with Moyamoya disease, a rare blood vessel disorder that can result in cognitive or developmental delays, visual disturbances and paralysis. He required immediate double brain surgery, which saved his life. Seven years later, Cash’s story was told in the February 27, 2023, episode of The Good Doctor. “As horrible as it is, and I can’t even imagine what a three-year-old could possibly be thinking, having to deal with the pain, the amount of pain and worry and stress that my wife carried during this whole journey — that, aside from my son, was the second hardest thing for me to witness,” he said of his wife Jennifer. “I had to fly back and forth from New York [for work]… and she became Superwoman.”

Jennifer has also guest starred in two episodes of The Good Doctor. She is seen in Season 2, Episodes 11 and 12 as her husband’s character, Alex Park’s ex-wife. Alex split up with Mia after he discovered she was cheating on her, but he later decided to work on the relationship because they share a son, Kellan. The actress is also known for her roles in House of Lies, Go On and Justified.

Noah Galvin (Asher Wolke)

Noah Galvin is engaged to Broadway actor Ben Platt. Both Galvin and Platt are both Broadway performers and played the title role in the hit show Dear Evan Hanson. After years of friendship, Platt and Galvin entered a romantic relationship when they spent time together in COVID lockdown. “Ben and I are dating,” Galvin revealed on Ilana Levine’s Little Known Things podcast. “I asked him this morning. I was like, ‘Are we allowed to talk about this?’ And he’s like, ‘Don’t go into our nitty-gritty, but yeah, people can know.’ It’s still relatively new.” They quarantined at Platt’s childhood home and even adopted a labradoodle named George together.

“We’ve been together for about a year and a half now. It was really crazy, we’ve been friends for, like, five years and right before the pandemic, we finally decided to, like, really give it a shot,” Platt said of Galvin on The Kelly Clarkson Show in June 2021. Finally, in November 2022, the couple announced that they were engaged after two years of dating. “I said yeehaw and then cried for like 7 hours,” Galvin wrote in the Instagram post showing Platt’s romantic proposal.
