Tea Leoni and Tim Daly are apparently taking their romance offscreen.

The two “Madam Secretary” stars, who play husband and wife on the CBS show, are reportedly dating in real life, Us Weekly reported.

“Their chemistry on set is electrifying,” a source told the mag of the 48-year-old actress and Daly.

“They have an amazing time filming.”

The reported new duo were recently spotted with “their arms wrapped around each other” in Venice, Calif. on Nov. 14, according to the mag.

“They were definitely couple-y.”

Daly, 58, gushed about his co-star in an interview this past fall with Collider.

“She’s a person, like me and like a lot of people who have gone to that school…who can be perfectly happy sleeping in a wet sleeping bag on a stone floor, or staying in a fancy hotel,” he said of Leoni, who went to the same Vermont high school as he did but years apart.

“She’s not a whiner. She wants to work hard and she wants to have fun,” he continued.

“We get along really, really well. We have a really good time. I’ve gotten along with plenty of people, but the chemistry sucked. And I’ve hated people where the chemistry is great. It’s much better if you get along and the chemistry is good. That’s perfect.”

Leoni divorced actor husband David Duchovny in August after being separated since June 2011. The pair were married for 14 years before deciding to part ways for good after a brief split in 2008.

They share daughter Madelaine, 15, and son Kyd, 12.

“Listen, David gave me the two greatest gifts on the planet; I don’t know how I could ever hate him. We’ve always loved each other, and we adore these kids,” Leoni said in a September interview with Parade magazine of her ex.
