While playing teen siblings on the drama series, “Everwood,” Chris Pratt and Emily VanCamp fell for each other. From 2002 to 2006, the two played Amy Abbot and older brother Bright. They dated for a couple of years as a result of their on and off air chemistry. “We’ve pretty much gotten used to the response of, ‘Eww, that’s weird.
