True Blood costars (and real-life couple) Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer keep close at the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party held at the Sunset Tower on Sunday (February 22) in West Hollywood.

The romance between Moyer, 37, and Paquin, 26, first sparked at the True Blood audition, but the couple decided to wait to go public.

“The reason it was dodged last year was very intentional on both our parts,” Moyer tells TV Guide Magazine. “It was very important to me that the cast and crew we were working with didn’t feel it was fickle, and didn’t feel it could possibly potentially encroach on their lives, you know, just like, ‘Oh the two stars are having a thing.’ We didn’t want to take anything away from the show. The show is the star, not the two people having a relationship… It’s just exciting and that was there from day one. We always take the piss out of each other and are silly with each other and it is great. We’re very, very happy. She’s the best.” source
