Her Romance With James Roday and Previous Relationships

Before her marriage to Ben Koldyke in 2015, Maggie Lawson had a couple of relationships. One of her prominent relationships was the one she had with fellow Psych actor James Roday, from 2006 to 2014.

James and Lawson met in 2006 while filming Psych where they played on-screen lovers. From there, they fell in love and began to date offscreen. After being together for about seven years, they called it quits in 2014 (the same year Psych ended).

They were widely considered an exemplary couple while they were together, given the deep bond they shared and expressed. Thus, when they finally broke up, they ended up leaving fans heartbroken.

Apparently, their fans thought they would end up at the altar as they did in the TV series.

Roday, who has a degree in Arts, began his career as a stage artist, appearing in both classical and contemporary plays. He has also starred in several TV films and movies including Don’t Come Knocking, Rolling Kansas, The Dukes of Hazzard, Beerfest, Fear Itself, First Years, and Miss Matched, among others.

Since his debut in 1999, he has garnered 28 series and movie projects to his credit. He has also directed about 8 television series.

The talented actor has not been spotted with or linked to anyone romantically since his separation from Maggie Lawson. He is probably single and focusing on his career for now.

Also, before her relationship with Roday, Maggie Lawson was romantically involved with Hollywood actor and producer Eric Christian Olsen.

Although this is pretty much unknown in the media space, Maggie’s relationship with Eric took off sometime in 2003. It was a whirlwind romance that lasted until 2005 before they broke up without giving any reason why they separated.
