The chemistry between Graham and his Heartland match-up Amy Fleming (played by Amber Marshall) is so intense that fans can’t help but wish that they were real-life couples. Sadly, it is just make-believe, but don’t get it twisted, Graham is in an equally blissful relationship in real life.

“so beautiful. Its hard to think that Amy and Ty are married to different people. Well I guess its not Amy and Ty, Its Amber and Graham”

_heartland_786_: “@keanaboobonna You need to understand that both Amber and Graham are in love with different people. They are both happily married and I’m sure they get annoyed when people tell them to date in real life. Graham loves Alison and Amber loves Shaun. Let’s leave it at that now can we?”
Though Graham answers questions from his fans through Simple text message, he can be very private when it comes to his personal life.
