“We’re going to be old men together:” Supernatural stars DJ Qualls and Ty Olsson are engaged
Cue the wedding bells, Supernatural fans! DJ Qualls and Ty Olsson are engaged. On 15 May, fans were thrown for an exciting loop when Qualls revealed the news on his Locked and Probably Loaded podcast with Kelly Blackheart. “Ty and I became inseparable at the very beginning, just immediately.
And over the last 10 years, our relationship has evolved to what it is today, and now we’re getting married,” he exclaimed. While Olsson and Qualls didn’t share any screen time on Supernatural, they both guest starred across multiple episodes as the vampire Benny Lafitte and werewolf Garth Fitzgerald, respectively.
In addition to announcing their upcoming nuptials, Qualls spilled all the details about their adorable meet-cute at a Supernatural convention, which sparked their initial friendship. “We didn’t know each other at all – we maybe said three words together at the Supernatural convention, and then we went to London for four or five days afterwards,” he explained. “And then I was going to Turkey with a friend, and [Olsson] is such a pure awesome guy, he came up to us – we all went out as a group – and he was like, Can I come on your trip with you?'” Qualls went on to describe Olsson’s move as “ballsy” before stating he would never have done that if the roles were reversed. “I’d be afraid they would begrudgingly tell me yes and then not want me there,” he added. “But it was just so pure and awesome, and that’s who he is.
I didn’t know him. And it was the beginning of our friendship.” Towards the end of his statement, Qualls lauded his soon-to-be husband for giving him unconditional love. “It’s just so crazy that this person who was just my friend now I think about all the time and sends the best messages, and he supports me and loves me unconditionally in the right ways,” he said. “Ty was the first person in my entire life, my entire life, that I ever had that with.
