Jared, Jensen, & Misha Rogue Magazine highlights:

Heather Seidler (Rogue): “Working together for over a decade, bonds are usually forged and closeness seems inevitable. Not surprisingly, Jared, 34, and Jensen, 38, became real life besties. They were groomsmen at each other’s weddings. They bought houses close to each other (in Austin, Texas). They had kids at the same time. Padalecki has two sons, 4 and 2 years-old; Collins has a 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter; Ackles has a 3-year-old daughter and his wife is now expecting twins.
So how has the “Padackles” or “J-Squared” (as fans refer to them) relationship evolved over these past twelve years?”
Jared: “When Jensen and I met, we thought we had the world by the balls and we found out together that we really did not. I’ve seen him fall in love, get engaged then get married and now become a father, and he’s seen me do the same. We’ve seen the same with Misha and we even though we joke that Misha is the “new guy” this is his 9th season so we’ve grown alongside him too. This show’s been a wonderful opportunity to really explore so many facets of a character, but also to see each other grow and I think it’s one of the few shows that’s been able to reflect that. We’re not young boys anymore, we are fathers and husbands and friends–we’ve seen birth and death and everything in between. I think there is a little bit of that camaraderie that’s reflected on the screen.”
Seidler: “Both actors mirror the same fondness for their characters and their real life connection.”
Jensen: “I feel I was very fortunate to be cast alongside somebody I have so much in common with and got to build a relationship with and become just great solid lifelong friends. I think that’s an extreme rarity in any circumstance. Much less in your work environment, much less on a television show in an industry that is so fickle and can be feast or famine…Our kids get to play together and our wives are best friends, it really is a unique situation given the fact that it’s all sprung from a television series. So to be in our twelfth season and still get along as well as we do…it’s almost art imitating life. In the sense that everybody’s got my back and I’ve got theirs, on and off screen.”
Jared: “You can act it, but there is something intangible that happens to your characters on screen when you get along well in real life. I love Jensen and Misha and I’m there for them always, and they’re undoubtedly there for me. We’ve been able to grow together and raise money for charity and raise awareness for issues that are important to us. One of these days when the show is over, I’ll look back and reflect and think of the enormity of what this has all been and it will hit me. It’s kind of funny because even though it’s been so long, I haven’t really reflected. It’s almost like we’re in a football game and it’s halftime so it’s hard to talk about the game because the game ain’t over yet. One day I’ll be able to look back and think… wow that was something really special.”
