When Belmont Cameli locked eyes with his on-screen love interest on Amazon Prime’s Off Campus, fans went wild—but the real romance worth paying attention to is happening offscreen. The actor, who plays hockey captain Garrett Graham in the 2026 adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s beloved book series, has been quietly building something genuine with TV writer Raina Morris since 2025.

The couple made headlines in May 2026 when rumors started swirling that Morris had laid down strict rules about Cameli’s intimate scenes with his costar Ella Bright. Rather than let the gossip fester, Morris fired back with humor and grace, posting a carousel of playful images on Instagram with the caption“Strictly business”—complete with business emoji commentary from Cameli himself. The final slide? A photo of the pair with“strict lovers”written across it. It’s the kind of move that tells you everything you need to know: this relationship can laugh at itself.

Morris brings serious credentials to the table. The Portland, Oregon native holds a degree in health science from Northeastern University and has built an impressive writing career with credits on Emily in Paris, Neon, and Schmigadoon. But she’s also got that creative scrappiness—she’s written a short film called Les Petits Mondes de Noël (available on Prime and YouTube), done stand-up comedy sets, and spent years hustling in the entertainment industry with the kind of self-deprecating humor that only comes from actually living the grind.

What’s refreshing here is how unpretentious both of them seem about their relationship. In a May 2026 interview about Off Campus, Cameli reflected on what makes solid partnerships: being friends first.“They’re friends first, and that’s usually really fertile soil for a relationship,”he said of his characters’dynamic.“So that was a nice aspect of it that excited me. It’s fun to go from friends to them discovering,‘Oh s***, I think I’m in love with them.'”Whether intentional or not, he was probably describing his own relationship pretty accurately.

In an industry obsessed with drama and scandal, Cameli and Morris are doing something quietly revolutionary: keeping things real, handling rumors with humor, and clearly enjoying each other’s company. That’s the real plot twist.
