Actress Directs Partner's Audition for Major Role

Justine Verheul and Antonio Cipriano, who began their relationship in 2023, have forged a significant bond through their shared passion for the performing arts.

In 2025, the couple established Might Be Smart Productions, a company focused on musical theater education and production. Verheul, an accomplished actress, director, and educator, guided Cipriano's career closely. In 2026, while Verheul was directing a production of 'Mamma Mia!', Cipriano received his second callback for 'Off Campus'.

This support system proved beneficial, as Cipriano secured his role in the popular series. He later shared with PEOPLE that he watched 'Off Campus' twice, once with the cast and again with Verheul, appreciating her perspective.

The couple's collaboration extended to co-producing a sold-out show in London titled 'In Pieces' in March 2026, further solidifying their joint artistic endeavors.
