‘Supernatural’ Spinoff The Winchesters’ Meg Donnelly and Drake Rodger’s Relationship Timeline
Meg Donnelly and Drake Rodger played love interests on the Supernatural spinoff series, The Winchesters, and sparked a real-life romance in the process.
Set in the 1970s, the CW series followed Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles)’s parents, John Winchester (Rodger) and Mary Campbell (Donnelly), as they fell in love while fighting monsters together. The Winchesters only had one season, which aired from October 2022 to March 2023, but it was enough time for Donnelly and Rodger to form a strong bond.
After months of speculation, Donnelly confirmed that she and Rodger are dating during a February 2024 appearance on “The Zach Sang Show.”

Donnelly confirmed her relationship with Rodger during an appearance on “The Zach Sang Show,” noting that the pair were “not trying to hide [their relationship] at all,” despite keeping a low profile.
“I feel like on my last couple relationships it was very public, so now I’m kind of trying to keep it — not even private, because I’ll talk about it as much as possible because I love him so much. Just on social media in general, I like having that privacy, because putting it all out there it kind of becomes public too,” she said.
The Zombies actress added that she and Rodger don’t have strict rules about not posting each other online.
“If we feel like posting about each other we can,” she explained. “It’s not off limits, it’s not like we’re hiding each other or anything, but just not every day publicly anymore, because I used to do that and I like the way things are now.”
