It turns out that behind the scenes of ‘Sheriff Country,’ many cast members are enjoying long-lasting relationships!
Sheriff Country, which kicks off on CBS on October 17, follows Sheriff Mickey Fox, portrayed by Morena Baccarin, as she skillfully juggles the challenges of her job and her complicated family dynamics in the quaint Edgewater, California.
Mickey’s life off the clock is anything but simple — she deals with her ex-husband Travis, played by Christopher Gorham, and their daughter Skye (Amanda Arcuri), plus the issues brought in by her dad Wes (W. Earl Brown), a former convict.
In real life, Baccarin knows all about the balance of co-parenting. She has a son with her ex Austin Chick and also has two kids with her current husband, actor Ben McKenzie.
Let’s dive into who the partners of Sheriff Country stars are!

After hanging up her sheriff uniform, Morena Baccarin goes back to her partner, Ben McKenzie. This duo first crossed paths while filming Gotham in 2014 and tied the knot on Baccarin’s 38th birthday in 2017.
They are proud parents to two children, Frances and Arthur. Additionally, Baccarin is a mom to Julius, her first son with ex-husband Austin Chick.
Christopher Gorham and Anel Lopez
Christopher Gorham, who plays Mickey’s ex-Travis, has been happily married to actress Anel Lopez for years, with a connection dating back to when phones couldn’t capture colors!

Michele Weaver and Husband
Michele Weaver, who stars as Deputy Cassidy, shares sweet moments with her husband on Instagram but prefers to keep his name private. They exchanged vows during a cozy ceremony in December 2020 amidst the pandemic.
