Antonio Cipriano Found His Muse—and She's His Creative Partner

When you’re an actor, singer-songwriter, and Broadway alum all rolled into one, finding someone who genuinely gets you isn’t just romantic—it’s rare. For Antonio Cipriano, that person is Justine Verheul, and their relationship has become as much a creative force as it is a love story.

Cipriano has been transparent about his devotion. In December 2025, he posted a birthday tribute calling Verheul“this pretty lady”and toasting to making 27 the best year yet. But the real proof of their connection goes deeper than social media shoutouts. In June 2025, Cipriano released a single called“Gets Me,”written directly about his relationship with Verheul. The lyrics capture something genuine:“Now I finally found somebody who gets me / Knows the worst of me / And loves me anyway.”He even shared footage of Verheul visiting him on the Off Campus set, overlaid with the track.

Like Cipriano, Verheul isn’t just a bystander in the entertainment world. She’s a performer who’s worked regional and off-Broadway productions, and a former ballet dancer who now directs and choreographs middle and high school musicals. That shared creative language matters. In August 2024, they celebrated their first anniversary with a joint concert at 54 Below in New York City, performing a duet of Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz’s“Lucky.”Verheul posted about the night, calling it a celebration of“one year loving my favorite person in the world”while singing“a song that is very special to both of us.”

Perhaps most notably, the couple launched a production company together in 2025 called Might Be Smart. Their mission statement speaks volumes:“This company wants to shift the mindset around what is considered‘smart.’We want to create opportunities for artists to express their skills and talents authentically.”It’s the kind of venture two people build when they’re not just in love—they’re aligned on what matters.

Verheul has been by Cipriano’s side through the rise of Off Campus, the Prime Video adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s hockey romance novels. The show has given Cipriano a larger platform, and she’s been there every step of the way. They’re now fixtures on each other’s social media, and for someone who writes songs about finding the right person, that consistency feels earned.
