The stars of "Ted Lasso" are sharing a story that might just make you "believe" in love.

Juno Temple revealed in an Aug. 4 appearance on "TFI Unplugged" that she quietly got married after meeting her partner on the set of the Emmy-winning Apple TV soccer comedy.

In fact, her costar, Hannah Waddingham, played a key role in the meet cute.

"I got married," Temple confirmed in the interview before high-fiving costar Brendan Hunt as costars Waddingham and Jason Sudeikis applauded. "We met on Season 2 of 'Ted Lasso.'"

Temple, who plays Keeley Jones in the series, explained her now-husband, Michal Szymanski, was working as a driver for Waddingham, and the actress gave her the go-ahead to ask him out.

"She said, 'Can I ask him on a date?' Waddingham recalled. "I was like, 'Yes, you can. He's gorgeous!'"

"He was driving Hannah, and they had a secret code where I could go meet them, and 'accidentally,' Hannah's appointment would run over," Temple chimed in, adding that she and Szymanski also "bought a house" together.

Waddingham also gushed in the interview that Temple and Szymanski "are the greatest oxygen to each other."

They've continued to attend events and red carpets together since, including the fourth season premiere of "Ted Lasso" in Los Angeles on July 27. While posing with him on the carpet, Temple revealed to photographers, "We met on 'Ted Lasso!'"
