Fans might ship Hughie and Starlight, but Jack Quaid is more interested in his onscreen enemy.
In the sensational world of celebrity romances, sparks often fly where people least expect them. For fans of Amazon’s hit TV series The Boys, the latest buzz is all about Jack Quaid, who plays the lovable yet smart Hughie Campbell, and his mysterious connection with co-star Claudia Doumit, the actress behind the diabolical Victoria Neuman.

Meanwhile, considering how The Boys fans have been shipping Hughie and Starlight for a long time, following their on-screen chemistry, the news about Jack Quaid’s relationship with Claudia Doumit came as a lump in the throat. But to fans’ dismay, the duo have been silently dating for over two years, as per official sources.
Jack Quaid’s Relationship with The Boys’ Co-Star Claudia Doumit
From star-crossed enemies in Amazon Prime’s The Boys to romantic partners, Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit made headlines for their affair in 2022, two years after Doumit joined the show. According to photos obtained by DailyMail, the speculations originated after the co-stars were spotted holding hands and walking together.
In Eric Kripke’s show, Claudia Doumit stars as Victoria Neuman, a politician who is secretly a supervillain, opposite Jack Quaid’s Hughie Campbell, a lovable tech genius, who is one of the two main protagonists beside Billy Butcher. But despite starring in the same show, the duo successfully managed to keep their love life largely private.
However, Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit have been occasionally giving glimpses into their romance, sharing photos of them together at the SAG-AFTRA strike in October 2023, and Quaid informing PEOPLE about his Valentine’s Day plans in February 2024. But these hints seemed subtle until the duo made their relationship official, at the 2024 Oscars.
Fans Shipping Hughie and Starlight Find Jack Quaid’s Affair Hard to Believe
While most fans are excited about Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit’s relationship, especially after they made it official, some fans appear stunned. Well, the duo indeed kept their romance hidden for a while, but it’s certainly not the reason why people are finding their romance hard to believe.

The real reason lies in fans’ allegiance to Hughie and Starlight’s love story in The Boys, compared to the emerging real-life romance between Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit. Since the actors’ actual relationship doesn’t match with their characters, fans took to social media to express their shock.

Commenting on how Jack Quaid is winning in the show, by dating Erin Moriarty‘s Starlight and making his way through a real-life romance with Claudia Doumit, fans bow down to the actor’s rizz. Although some express their shock by stating that they actually expected him to date Moriarty even in real life, others remained neutral.
The Boys is available on Prime Video.
