Are Ty Borden & Amy Fleming a Couple in Real Life? The FACTS
We’re discussing Heartland TV Show’s main cast members, Amber Marshall and Graham Wardle aka Amy Fleming and Ty Borden. Heartland has been a part of our lives for the past 15 years. Sometimes, we feel like we grew up with them. When Ty Borden died, Amy Fleming is left alone as a single mother, which felt so unfair for many fans. For many, it was almost certain that Amy and Ty will inherit the Heartland ranch one day but now, with the death of Ty Borden, everything became ambiguous. Suddenly, we struggled in having any idea about what will happen next in the show. A considerable amount of fans, however, were okay with losing Ty. “Why?” you may ask. Well, because, they assumed Ty and Amy were together in real life. Yes, you heard it right. Since the couple’s on-screen chemistry was too realistic, many assumed that they were already a real couple, meaning that Amber Marshall and Graham Wardle were dating in real life.
Based on the book series by Lauren Brooke, Heartland centers around a woman living and working on her family’s horse ranch. The show stars Amber Marshall as protagonist Amy Fleming, along with the talents of Michelle Morgan as Amy’s sister Lou Fleming, Shaun Johnston as their grandfather Jack Bartlett, Chris Potter as their estranged father Tim, and Graham Wardle as Ty Borden. Fans are totally obsessed with the Heartland cast, and the show is even the longest-running one-hour scripted drama in Canadian television history!
If you’ve ever wondered what the Heartland cast is like when they’re not on set, look no further.
Who is the Heartland cast dating and married to in real life?
Even though some of the Heartland cast members lead more private lives than others, we were still able to figure out who is dating and married. After some quick snooping on Instagram, here’s what we dug up.

Marshall has been playing Amy Fleming on Heartland since 2007. It takes a lot of commitment and consistency to be portraying one character for so long, so props to her! On Heartland, her character loves on a ranch and is married to Ty Borden, played by Graham Wardle.
In reality, Amber Marshall’s life is not so different from Amy Fleming’s! As of 2016, Marshall lives on a farm ranch outside of Calgary, Alberta with her husband Shawn Turner and their animals. They have horses, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and an alpaca on their farm. Talk about couple goals.
Graham Wardle wife
Ty Borden actor Graham Wardle is indeed married, although that’s not his real wife in the photo above. It’s actually his on-screen wife Amber Marshall, who plays Amy Fleming on Heartland.
According to Tuko, Wardle is happily married to a woman named Allison Wardle. The pair have been married since 2015, but she has managed to maintain a low-profile. In fact, there are more pictures on Graham Wardle’s Instagram page of his fictional wife than there are of his in real life wife. Go figure!

Morgan plays Lou Fleming on Heartland, Amy’s determined and intelligent older sister. The actress married Derek Tisdelle on June 30, 2012. The pair share two children, Mara Carmen Tisdelle and Noah Santiago Tisdelle.
The actress often posts photos on her Instagram of her family playing together.
Shaun Johnston wife
Johnston plays family patriarch Jack Bartlett on Heartland. As Lou and Amy’s grandfather, he helps to maintain the Heartland ranch. Jack is very stubborn and reluctant to accept change of any kind, which often puts him at odds with the rest of his family.
As reported by Married Celeb, Johnston is married to his wife, Sue Johnston, although we were unable to find any further details about their nuptials. He often posts pictures of his wife on Instagram, though, so we can assume that they’re still going strong.
Chris Potter wife
Although he doesn’t have an Instagram account, Potter does have a wife. On Heartland, Chris Potter plays Tim Fleming, Amy and Lou’s father who left when they were young. The actor has been married to Karen Potter since 1985, and they have four children together: Jesse, Quinn, Claire, and Gray.
