Starz’s historical drama Outlander shares the story of British World War II nurse Claire Randall Fraser as she mysteriously goes back to 1743 Scotland. Claire, played by Caitriona Balfe, begins her story married to M16 officer-turned-scholar Frank Randall, played by Tobias Menzies. So, did Balfe and Menzies ever date in real life?
Did ‘Outlander’ stars Caitriona Balfe and Tobias Menzies date in real life?
Caitriona Balfe plays Claire Randall Fraser through all seven seasons of Outlander. She begins her journey married to Frank Randall, played by Tobias Menzies. Menzies also goes on to play Frank’s 18th-century ancestor, Jonathan “Black Jack” Randall.
While Claire and Frank start the show as a married couple, they don’t end that way. Claire falls for Scottish warrior Jamie Fraser, whom she later marries. But before Claire creates a future with Jamie, she’s caught between two worlds (and two men) who offer entirely different paths.
