Clare Bowen with her husband, Brandon Robert Young

The answer to this will seem to appear out of the blue, but that was what the makers wanted. Scarlett O’ Connor is played by actress Clare Bowen. As a young girl who works at the Bluebird Cafe, Scarlett had been in an on and off relationship on-screen with the character Gunnar Scott portrayed by Sam Palladio. Despite the fact that Scarlett had the most number of romantic interests on the entire show, the makers decided to pair her up with a mystery man that has never ever been on the show. The end of the series reveals that Scarlett got engaged to a man as the scene shows the two on a tour with Deacon. That might sound weird, but it looks like, after all, it wasn’t that bad for the actress Clare Bowen. The mystery man was none other than the actress’s real-life husband and musician, Brandon Robert Young.
