Anybody watching the new primetime drama “Stalker” knows that it’s a great show. The hardcore Maggie Q plays a killer cop with a no-nonsense attitude and her newest addition to the team, Dylan McDermott plays a laid-back cop who seems to be doing a bit of stalking on his own. Maggie Q’s character doesn’t seem to like him much, no matter how hard he tries. Fortunately for the onscreen pair, they get along much better in real life. In fact, they just came out as a couple!

The two were spotted shopping in Brentwood nearly a month ago, but no one really thought much of it until this weekend when the duo was spotted out at a romantic restaurant in Santa Barbara. During dinner, witnesses state that the couple was very “touchy” and very happy together. The same witnesses state that when the table was set, the couple decided not to sit across from one another, opting instead to sit right next to one another holding hands and staying very close for the duration of their meal.

“They were very flirty, smiling at each other, canoodling. At one point she was feeding him at the table,” say witnesses who were also dining in the same establishment. It appears that these two aren’t worried about things like numbers and age. Q is 35 and McDermott is 53, making him 18 years her senior. In fact, the actor’s oldest child is the same age difference from Q as her father; 18 years. The co-stars certainly have a bit of underlying tension on the set between their characters, and maybe this is exactly why; they have the same chemistry off screen as they clearly do onscreen. We just wonder how long it will be before their characters end up getting together – even though we know it will never work out in the land of television.
