Two School of Rock former kid actors are dating each other, and fans of the film are thrilled. The 2003 film starred Jack Black as Dewey Finn, a guitarist who is left seeking employment after he's kicked out of his band. He poses as a substitute teacher at an elite public school. Instead of giving traditional music lessons, he teaches the kids about his rock 'n roll idols and transforms the class into a band. The hit comedy was adapted into a Broadway musical in 2015 and a spinoff TV series on Nickelodeon.
Even though Black was a stellar lead, School of Rock had an equally strong ensemble, making the film a hit. One of the most notable members of that ensemble was Miranda Cosgrove, who played the over-achiever, Summer. Cosgrove went on to play Megan in Drake and Josh and star in iCarly, which is getting an upcoming reboot. Other child stars from School of Rock struggled with returning to everyday life after the film was released. Rivkah Reyes, who played the shy bassist, Katie, suffered from bullying, addiction, and predatory behavior from men. And now, audiences have learned the status of two additional castmates.
PopSugar confirms that Caitlin Hale and Angelo Massagli from School of Rock have been dating. This discovery comes 18 years after the film's release. Both actors played students in Dewey Finn's class. Hale played Marta (called "Blondie" in the movie), one of the backup singers in the class's band. Massagli played one of the class band's security guards named Frankie. The pair recently moved to NYC, where Hale is an OBGYN ultrasound technologist, and Massagli is a law school graduate.

Fortunately, those curious about how long they've been dating might have their answer. Based on the Instagram post above from 2019, they reportedly started dating three years prior in 2016. While it may not be the elementary school, or School of Rock, sweetheart story that fans may have been hoping for, it's still sweet to see these former child stars, who met when they were so young, reconnect and find love.
It appears that Hale and Massagli are enjoying life after starring in School of Rock as child actors. It's intriguing for fans to see where child stars end up as adults after starring in films. While some continue to pursue fame, it seems Hale and Massagli have taken the route of leading everyday lives together. However, they have been thrust into the spotlight once again as fans celebrate the couple's wholesome relationship.
