Emily Deschanel's Husband David Hornsby Is an Actor Who Was Also in 'Bones' – Inside Their Love Story

Emily Deschanel's husband, David Hornsby, is a talented actor with notable credits under his belt. Hornsby has appeared in several TV shows, including "Bones" where he played quite an interesting role.

Actress Deschanel is best known for her role as Dr. Temperance Brennan in the comedy-drama series "Bones," which premiered in 2005. The celebrated actress impressed her fans with her notable performance in the series, which aired for 12 years.

While many people in real life know her for her charming personality, in "Bones," Dr. Brennan is an introverted genius—a world-class forensic anthropologist with limited social skills.

Brennan, an atheist who only believes in substantial evidence, works alongside David Boreanaz's character. The actor plays FBI and special agent Seeley Booth, a dedicated catholic who believes in his intuition. Because of their different beliefs, Brennan and Booth constantly differ in opinions and can barely stand each other.

As the seasons develop, Brennan and Booth decide to work towards a common goal; they solve crime cases by collaborating through different investigations. As they continue working together, Booth falls in love with Brennan, who, in turn, finds herself becoming vulnerable and trusts him.

Throughout the show, their romantic relationship progresses until they tie the knot. Interestingly, Emily Deschanel's real-life husband played the character who officiated her fictional catholic wedding with Booth.

Emily Deschanel's husband, David Hornsby, joined "Bones" as Father Harrow to officiate the wedding of Brennan (Deschanel) and Booth (Boreanaz). Before Hornsby made his appearance on the show, Boreanaz had hinted about the former's role, saying:

"It's exciting because we have some great guests. Some surprise guests. We don't actually know who may be marrying the two of us. I'll give you one hint. The person who is going to marry us is close to one of the cast members."

David Hornsby and Emily Deschanel Have Been Together for More than a Decade and Welcomed Two Kids Together

The lovebirds tied the knot in a small private ceremony attended by close family and friends. Their wedding took place in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, with the bride being the center of attraction with her 10-carat diamond earrings.

A year after their wedding, the couple welcomed their first child Henry Lamar Hornsby on September 21, 2011. According to reports, the actress maintained a vegan diet throughout her pregnancy.

On June 8, 2015, Deschanel's representative announced that the actress had given birth to her second child Calvin Hornsby. During her second pregnancy, the mom of two stated that she handled it like a pro and that she craved lemonade the most.

People Wondered about the Nature of David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel's Real-Life Relationship

Boreanaz and Deschanel's on-screen tension and chemistry on the crime drama series "Bones" saw them marry and become parents to two kids. By the end of the series, their relationship got fans wondering if the two were an item in real life.

Even though the two "Bones" co-stars portrayed a happily married couple, they are not together in real life. Boreanaz is married to his second wife, Jaime Bergman, and Deschanel is Hornsby's wife.

After acting alongside each other for over a decade, Boreanaz and Deschanel became close friends. In an interview, the two actors spoke about their experience working together and said it strengthened their friendship through the years.

Boreanaz stated that having a positive working relationship with Deschanel made the show a hit. He also said that through their friendship, he was proud of all the work they did through the years:

"We kind of really opened our hearts to each other, and we really trusted each other, which gave us some really great material to work with."

On the other hand, Deschanel stated that she had a fantastic friendship with Boreanaz, something she would miss about the show. Besides working with Boreanaz, Deschanel said that she would also miss all the cast members and the great memories they made.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2019, Deschanel stated that on the set of "Bones," she spent much more time with Boreanaz than they both did with their spouses. During that time, they kept their relationship strictly professional and gave each other space whenever one felt overwhelmed.

Through that, Deschanel said they related well, and she considers Boreanaz a brother. She added that as much as people have work husbands and wives, acting alongside each other and being married takes it to a different level.
