Patrick Ball and his girlfriend Elysia have been by each other’s side since 2023, the duo having met while appearing in a Miami stage production of Las Aventuras de Juan Planchard. Since getting together, the couple hasn’t shied away from sharing their love with the world, often posting sweet moments and memories together on social media—but their romantic relationship turned into something of a professional relationship this past year when they joined forces for an episode of The Pitt. 

In Season 2, Roorbach joined the show as a patient in the emergency room who had glued her eye shut while applying false eyelashes. On working alongside his real-life partner on screen, Patrick told HELLO! that “It was a dream.” He continued, “We get to turn around and play pretend together again,” he said in reference to their past collaboration. “I get to be her doctor, and [her character] wanted nothing to do with me, and that also felt right.”

Elysia Roorbach showed her support of ‘Becky Shaw’

Ball has just recently made his Broadway debut as he stars in Gina Gionfriddo’s Becky Shaw, and fans were thrilled to see Elysia by his side in support at the play’s opening night. In addition to Elysia, Ball was joined by several of his The Pitt costars who showed up in support. 

Patrick and Elysia’s journey—from meeting on a Miami stage to sharing the screen on a hit medical drama—is a beautiful reminder that when you find the right person, every moment becomes an adventure worth celebrating. Whether they’re playing pretend together or supporting each other’s dreams, this couple shows us what it means to be true partners in every sense of the word!
