Exciting news for Supernatural fans: DJ Qualls (known for playing the werewolf Garth) and Ty Olsson (the vampire Benny) are officially engaged! The 45-year-old Qualls shared the joyful announcement on the May 15 episode of his podcast, Locked and Probably Loaded, co-hosted by Kelly Blackheart.
Their story began at a fan convention for the CW series, where the two actors barely knew each other. Yet, a simple friendship quickly blossomed into something deeper. Qualls recalls, “We maybe said three words together at the convention, and then we went to London for four or five days afterward.” That spark of connection only grew stronger over time, culminating in a spontaneous trip to Turkey together — a defining moment in their bond.
Over the last ten years, Qualls says their friendship evolved into unconditional love, built on respect, support, and deep affection. “Ty was the first person in my entire life who truly offered that kind of unconditional love,” Qualls shared. “Now we’re going to be old men together, which is so crazy.”
Fans have flooded social media with congratulations, celebrating the couple’s engagement and their beautiful journey from co-stars to life partners. Olsson responded warmly, thanking supporters for their love and kindness, calling the messages “so wonderful.”
