Individually, they’ve been in beloved sitcoms (Community), acclaimed period dramas (Mad Men), magical heist movies (the Now You See Me franchise), animated favorites (BoJack Horseman) and big-screen comedy hits (Superbad, 21 Jump Street)—but together they’re one of Hollywood’s coolest power couples.
We’re talking about Alison Brie and Dave Franco, who are adding to their already-stacked respective CVs with a freaky new body horror flick fittingly entitled Together, which sees the real-life spouses play a married couple who move to the countryside amid marital tensions, only to find a mysterious supernatural force that horrifically begins to fuse their bodies together. (Talk about spending a lot of time with your significant other!)
The Michael Shanks-directed title, which will hit theaters stateside on Wednesday, July 30, certainly benefitted from the fact that its lead actors know each other so well. “On one level, Dave and I have worked together so much. We’re married, we’ve been together over 13 years. Our level of nonverbal communication is very high,” Brie told Variety in a recent interview. “That came in handy on a very literal physical level. There were days where we were attached arm-to-arm for 10 hours going to the bathroom together.”

Ahead of Together’s release this week, let’s explore the yearslong relationship between its two stars Alison Brie and David Franco.
Community star Alison Brie has been married to fellow actor, Dave Franco, since March 2017. After a beach proposal in Big Sure, California, in August 2015, the couple got married in a private wedding ceremony that seemingly was in line with the bride’s laidback attitude to matrimony.
"I'm not very bridal, instinctually," she told Yahoo! Style ahead of the nuptials. "Marriage never really interested me, I guess because I was very focused on my work. I wasn't sure if I really saw the point to it. I bought a dress on Net-a-Porter, and I'm like, 'Maybe I'll wear that.'"
Later, though, during a 2018 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Brie gave further insights into the couple’s big day, saying that their sweet vows were her favorite part of the wedding. “We wrote our own and didn’t know what the other person was going to say,” she shared. “It’s funny to hear them out loud, and you feel like, ‘We said all the same things that we want to be for each other.’ That was very sweet.”
How did Alison Brie and Dave Franco meet?
You’d think that being two booked-and-busy actors would mean that the performers met on set somewhere, but instead, Alison Brie first encountered her future hubby Dave Franco while at a Mardi Gras party in New Orleans back in 2011 ,where they were introduced by a mutual friend.
Brie joked about their first meeting during a 2020 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, reported PEOPLE. "It starts off in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, where all great love stories begin. I was there with some friends. It was some incredible matchmaking done by my friend Jules after we ran into Dave at the airport."
Alison’s friend then invited Dave out to dinner with them: "He was sitting next to her across the table and… my friend texts me under the table and was like, 'You should hook up with Dave'... and I responded with, 'Yes, please' with a lot of thumbs up emojis. A very enthusiastic response."
The 42-year-old actress said that meeting Franco changed her mind about marriage: “I just met that person that I was like, 'Well, I'm really in love with you and would like to grow old with you,'" she told Yahoo! Style. "I actually think it's much more romantic when two people are like, 'Oh, I could go either way on marriage, but I want to marry you.'"

Dave Franco and wife Alison Brie do not have children, and do not have plans to have children in the future. Back in 2019, the GLOW actress shared with The Sunday Times that the couple’s beloved tabby cats Harry and Arturo are their children. “I don't really want to have kids. It's great because I don't worry about when I should get pregnant - between seasons, while we're shooting the show - I don't think about it every day.
"It would be nice,” Brie added, of having kids, “but I think of all the things that would be so stressful. I think about how much we're involved in our cats' lives. Oh my God, if it was a child!"
What movies have Alison Brie and Dave Franco been in together?
Together is only the latest in a long line of on-screen collaborations between real-life spouses Alison Brie and Dave Franco. The couple have appeared in four movies together: 2017 black comedy The Little Hours, 2017 biographical comedy The Disaster Artist, 2020 horror drama The Rental and the 2023 rom-com Somebody I Used to Know, the latter two of which Franco also directed.
On navigating his fifth screen partnership with his wife, the 40-year-old actor-director told PEOPLE: "It is the most intense experience we've ever had on set, but we just love it. There's no one else I'd rather be working with. She is one of the best actresses on the planet, so she makes my job very easy in that sense. And then it's just nice to have the emotional support where we can lean on each other throughout the process."

Pulling primarily from her performances in TV and film, Alison Brie reportedly has an estimated net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That matches the net worth of husband Dave Franco, whose fortune is also estimated at a cool $10 million.
Why were Alison Brie and Dave Franco sued?
The couple’s Together promo tour hasn’t been without its controversies: This past May, production company StudioFest filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the actors claiming that their new film, Together, was a "blatant rip-off" of Better Half, a 2023 horror which similarly featured a couple whose bodies become fused together after a supernatural encounter. According to the suit, both Brie and Franco were offered starring roles in Better Half in 2020 but turned them down and later signed on for a similar-sounding concept called Together, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
However, director Michael Shanks, who also wrote the screenplay for Together, stood by his lead actors, releasing a statement that read: “I completed the first draft in 2019 and registered it to the Writer’s Guild of America that same year. In October 2020, I received development funding from Screen Australia to further the project. In 2022, my agent at WME introduced me to Dave Franco,” per Variety. “From our very first meeting, we bonded over our love of horror, and I pitched him ‘Together’ — a script I had been trying to get into production for years, with no luck. Soon after, he and Alison Brie came onboard to act in and produce the film.”
As of press time, neither Brie nor Franco have released official comment on the lawsuit; the case is seemingly still ongoing.
