Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane

Actress: Halston Sage

Seth MacFarlane is dating his much younger Orville costar, Halston Sage!

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you in early September of 2017 that the two were more than just coworkers and had been spotted out on several dates.

One of our sources spotted them together at a concert at The Hollywood Bowl, and another saw them canoodling at the Vibrato Grill & Jazz in Los Angeles.

Nine months later, Radar Online is confirming our story!

Seth MacFarlane Dating Much Younger Costar Halston Sage, Actress’ Family Confirms

Just call him the family guy!

RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively 44-year-old Seth MacFarlane is dating his much younger co-star Halston Sage, 25 — and her grandmother can’t wait to meet him!

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with them dating,” Helen Schrage confirms to Radar.

“Everyone seems to be okay with whatever she is doing.”

The funny Family Guy creator and the blonde, who’s nearly 20 years his junior, star together in the dark comedy Star Trek prequel The Orville.

While the twosome have kept a low profile about their budding romance, they were snapped heading to Sushi Park in West Hollywood, Calif., in February.

Despite the double-decade age gap, Halston’s grandmother says years has nothing to do with true love.

“If she is happy, we are happy,” she said, adding that when she heard the news she asked her son, Halton’s father, who said the actors are “good friends.”

“Age sometimes doesn’t matter. They are the ones to decide if someone is too old.

“Maybe she needs that feeling of fatherhood,” she joked. “I don’t think so because it’s a close family.”

For now, Helen looks forward to meeting her granddaughter’s famous beau.

“I have not [met him] because he is in New York and she is there most of the time,” she continued.

Grandma says that she hasn’t met MacFarlane in the past year because they are in New York.

Really? Because MacFarlane lives in Los Angeles, Sage live in Los Angeles, Sage’s family lives in Los Angeles, and The Orville is filmed in Los Angeles (at Universal Studios and in Westlake Village). So there may be more at work here than just geography.

By the way, Halston Sage’s real last name is Schrage, just like Grandma’s.

Seth MacFarlane is the creator and Executive Producer and star of The Orville, he is twenty years older than Halston Sage, and he is her boss. In the #metoo era, this could raise a few eyebrows.

Did you catch all the clues? We gave you plenty of them!

“Funny guy” and “Dad” = Family Guy and American Dad, two of MacFarlane’s other shows; “powerful voice” = MacFarlane voices many of the animated characters on his shows; “space” = The Orville is set in space.

Finally, here is a photo of Seth MacFarlane taking his daughter his new girlfriend to a concert last year. You can almost hear her saying, “Daddy, which way is the entrance?”

Congratulations to Charlottenc for being first with the correct response! Special kudos to Withatwist and Lazyninja for doing a great job with the clues!

  2. Seth McFarland
    Halston Sage
    Clues dad “American dad” space new show “Orville ”
    No she might feel pressured

  3. Seth McFarlane
    Halston Sage

    Clues: guy, dad = Family Guy and American Dad. Powerful voice = voices characters in his shows. Space = their new space-themed tv show, The Orville.

  5. Funny Guy: Seth Macfarlane

    Actress:

    Clues: space—new show The Orville,

    Just a feeling I get that this is Seth.

  7. This seems to be a common trend with Seth McFarlane so he’s my guess. Halston Sage seems to be the one on his new show with the biggest discrepancy in age.

    Optional: I think it would be fine if it was once in a while but he’s been linked to several of his employees. Kinda creeps me out…

  8. Seth MacFarlane and Halston Sage – Orville

    Clues: Space (Orville), (American) Dad, voice (his voice over work)

  9. Funny Guy: Seth McFarlane
    Actress: Halston Sage
    Clues: “funny guy” (reference to Family Guy); “powerful voice” (SM does a lot of voice acting, as well as singing); SM has created several TV shows; SM is known to be fond of jazz; “Dad!” (since it is capped & has the exclamation point, I assume it’s a reference to American Dad!); new TV show – The Orville; “space” refers to The Orville, as well.
    [Optional] Cool to date employee? I wouldn’t recommend it. Not everyone can pull off…

  10. Seth McFarlane
    Halston Sage

    funny guy, powerful voice, multiple successful TV shows, approx twice her age – he was born in 73, she was born in 93, young costar, professional “space” ( their new show is set in space)

  13. Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane

    Actress: Halston Sage

    Clues: powerful voice (he can sing), space between them (The Orville takes place in space)

    [Optional] Cool to date his employee?: yea until something goes wrong and it creates drama

  14. I’m getting a Seth Macfarlane vibe from this. Could he be dating Halston Sage from the new sci-fi comedy show this fall? She’s 24 and he’s 47. A funny guy (Family Guy), powerful voice (he’s known for his singing and character voices), responsible for multiple shows and old enough to be her Dad (American Dad).

  15. I bet this is Seth MacFarlane and co-star Haley Something from The Orville.
    Clues: Old enough to be “Dad” (creator of American Dad), the “powerful voice” he voices characters on Family Guy and American Dad and Robot Chicken. “Space” between them, the Orville takes place in space.

    I don’t know if it’s cool. Where else are people who work 16 hours a day going to meet people? What’s less cool is that she’s so young. He should be dating in his age group–although I’m sure he thinks…

  17. Seth McFarlane, Halston Sage

    clues: Dad – American Dad
    Space – The Orville takes place in space
    voice – he provides the voices of many of his animated characters

  18. Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane

    Actress: Halston Sage

    Clues: “Professional SPACE between them:” new show The Orville takes place in space

  20. Seth MacFarlane – he’s the only show creator I know of who’s also a performer. (Also “funny guy” sounds like Family Guy, “powerful voice” – he’s mainly a voice actor, and, frankly, he’s a creepy dude with some serious issues around girls so pretty sure young & stupid are the only ones who would have him.) Guessing the “GF” is Halston Sage, since she’s almost half his age and Adrianne Palicki isn’t.

    No, it’s not cool but they guy’s an idiot. What could possibly go wrong? We’ll…

  22. I don’t know who this is, but it isn’t cool to date his employee! He has all the power and can ruin her career. And, of course, can be accused of sexual harassment (as though the networks care about that).

  23. Seth McFarland and Halston Sage? The Orville
    Keep some space = it’s a space show
    Funny guy = Family Guy
    powerful voice = he voices characters on FG and other shows

  24. Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane
    Actress: Halston Sage
    Clues: “Funny Guy” = Family Guy
    “Old enough to be her Dad” = American Dad
    “Keep some professional space” + The Orville takes place in space

    [Optional] Cool to date his employee? Never a good idea – too many complications – but if they’re both consenting adults, why not

    • Another clue: “Powerful voice” = all the voices he does (Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian, etc.)

  25. Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane

    Actress: Halston Sage

    Clues: “powerful voice” he does voice-over work on his shows, “dad!” American Dad, “space between them” the new show is Orville, about a space ship.

  26. Seth MacFarlane (born 1973) and Halston Sage (born 1993). They are costars on the new show The Orville.

    Clues: powerful voice, Dad (American Dad)

  28. Seth MacFarlane (47) and Halston Sage (24), show is his new production The Orville.

    Maybe not the best decision to date the employee, but most likely it will have a negative impact on her career than his…

  29. I’m not 100% sure about this, but –
    Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane
    Actress: Halston Sage

    Seth is funny, talented (he writes songs/sings/animates, etc.), “voices” a number of characters on the many shows he has created. He’s 43, she’s 24 so not exactly half his age, but close. He has released a jazz album (“seen at a jazz club”), and their new show “The Orville” is based in space (“keep professional space between them”)

  32. Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane

    Actress: Halston Sage

    Clues: funny guy creator of more than one tv show- the family guy, American dad, the Cleveland show and space- the orville would be the new show that they are on together

  33. Funny guy: Seth macfarlane
    Actress: halston sage
    Clues: voice (he sings)
    funny guy (family guy)
    Space (the Orville is about space)

  38. Seth McFarlane
    Halston Sage?
    The Orville

    Clues – space, dad (family guy?)

    I could be way off but worth a shot 🙂

  39. Funny guy: Seth MacFarlane
    Actress: Halston Sage

    Clue: ‘Powerful voice in the industry’ = he does tons of voices in his shows. ‘Like dating Dad’ = American Dad.
    I might be completely wrong with the actress but she is in his new show The Orville and fits the age range suggested.

  43. Wild guess: Jason Bateman (48) and Julia Garner (23) from Ozark.
    The actress who plays his daughter is only 18 and would be more scandalous but not likely to spill over to the set. I could actually envision an affair between he and Julia on the show.
    I doubt it’s them, though, because frankly 25 years (when it’s the man who is older) is not at all uncommon in Hollywood. I just can’t come up with another “funny man” who’s created more than one TV show and is currently in a “new” show.

  44. Funny Guy: Seth MacFarlane
    Actress: Halston Sage
    Clues: voice, space (his new show), Dad (his show American Dad)

  47. Funny Guy: Seth McFarlane
    Actress: Halston Sage (I presume, anyway – she’s the young one in the cast of The Orville)
    Clues: dad (American Dad), space between them (it’s a Star Trek-like show)
