* Based on most of the comments of their collabs, many fans of both Creator/BrianHull and [[Creator/AnnaBrisbin Brizzy Voices]] ship them, and even wishing they'd date already. It does help that when they do collab videos, a lot of them love their chemistry.

->''There are people who believe that Creator/JackNicholson and I are gay lovers. Let them. I find it amusing''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': There were rumors of a mutual crush between Brad Kane and Lea Salonga, the singing voices of Aladdin and Jasmine; which was helpful to record "A Whole New World".
* A small group of ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'' fans like to ship Creator/IdinaMenzel and Creator/KristenBell, who played sisters Elsa and Anna, together due to their off-screen friendship, mainly as a way for fans who felt that they have chemistry but found "Elsanna" to be {{squick}}y, to ship them. Even though both are straight, Bell is married to Creator/DaxShepard, Menzel is married to Aaron Lohr, and both have described their relationship as "sisterly" at most. The pairing has plenty of fanfiction and cute moments edits around the internet, along with their own PortmanteauCoupleName, "Bellzel".

* Beside the phenomenal Matsuoka-Kayano ship,there also Creator/KoukiUchiyama and Creator/AyaneSakura ship who started to gain more public attention [[after the infamous Charlotte Radio where both of them flirt with each other https://youtu.be/T5lI2hcbTqs]] which comes very suprising to everyone knowing that the usually stoic and rarely talk Uchiyama become a little bit talkative than usual when around Sakura and because of that many of the fanbase started to ship Uchiyama and Sakura despite they rarely being on the same project after Charlotte ended.

** On the FanPreferredCouple sides of things, the actresses who play Lola and Mattie -- Annie Briggs and Sophia Walker, respectively -- get this as well, though it's not as ubiquitous as Negovanman is. Again, a ship name exists: Wriggs.

* With ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'', it's Chris and Martin. Both with the surname Kratt. That is not an accident. Thanks to the PeripheryDemographic from the Kratts' [[Series/KrattsCreatures previous]] [[Series/{{Zoboomafoo}} shows]], [[RuleThirtyFour there is fanart.]] Delicious [[IncestIsRelative fanart.]] And fanfiction. Considering they're not just cartoon characters, could also count as a Real Life example.

** As of January 2021, Kayano is the one voice actor, taking into account male or female, that Matsuoka has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRfq51YAZFk the highest number of shared anime projects with]] at a whopping 33 castings together since both his career started. And this list is only counting anime, to say nothing of other projects like video games or drama [=CDs=].

* ''Theatre/TheProm'': Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabelle [=McCalla=], who play onstage OfficialCouple Emma and Alyssa. Their strong friendship, physical comfort with each other, and goofy antics (including a tendency to kiss each other in public for fun), as well as both actors confirming their bisexuality, have not gone unnoticed by fans.

** A [[ShipToShipCombat rival]] ship [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT6LTRibWaM has developed]] with Matsuoka and Creator/InoriMinase.

There are generally three kinds of real-person shippers: the ones who know that it's all just fiction and ship it for fun/because it's hot, the ones who think there really is some UnresolvedSexualTension to be had but know that it most likely won't ever get resolved (and proceed to ship it for fun/because it's hot), and the ones who truly believe that the people in question are copulating like bunnies when the cameras are off. A fan of the latter type is known derogatorily in some circles as a "Tinhat" and can often be recognised by their conspiracy theories about evil PR people/network execs/whatever forcing the two actors to keep their relationship a secret. Note that the fact one or both partners may be in a relationship or even married to other people, or perhaps are even of [[IncompatibleOrientation incompatible sexual orientation]], is irrelevant. In the case of co-stars (particularly those acting out romantic or implied-romantic or UST-related storylines with each other), actor shipping is often a reflection of how well they're doing their jobs as actors, so [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools not all tropes are bad]] in that case.

* In some ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fan circles, there are those who ship Andrew Francis and Britt Mckillip (the voices of OfficialCouple Shining Armor and Princess Cadence respectively) together based on how good they seem to look together in some conventions.
* There are Greg Cipes/Tara Strong ([[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Beast Boy/Raven]]) fans too. Neither does anything to quash the rumors, regularly posting selfies of themselves on Twitter. (Of course, Tara's married; but when has that stopped anybody?)
** There's also shipping of Greg Cipes and Ashley Johnson. Cipes even stated that Johnson is his cartoon girlfriend.

* Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess - the Phantom and Christine Daaé for Theatre/ThePhantomoftheOpera and Theatre/LoveNeverDies - has a sizable fanbase. (Their portmanteau is Rierra.) Ramin is aware of the fandom and tweeted about it, and the shippers went crazy when the two of them dueted on the song Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars in Sierra's vlog. It is also apparently a requirement that they cameo in each other's Broadway.com vlogs and sing together. (Ramin appeared on both Daaé Days and Going Bridal, Sierra appeared in Vlogger 24601).

** Renowned Canadian ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are especially popular among the figure skating fandom, if Internet reactions to their ''Film/[[MoulinRouge]]'' free program at Pyeongchang 2018 are anything to go by. It helps that they have been skating together right from childhood, and that they have often been described as having the best chemistry during their performances on the ice, and their incredibly affectionate interactions with each other in interviews have also fuelled the fans' imaginations more than anything else.

* Certain fans ship Chenzel, Creator/KristinChenoweth and Creator/IdinaMenzel, due to the two of them being the original Glinda and Elphaba in ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}''. Despite the fact that Idina is married with kids.
* The Creator/TakarazukaRevue fandom does a lot of this. Apparently wanting two actresses to get it on doesn't figure into said fandom's long, long list of things that are disrespectful, as long as you don't use vulgar language while you're at it.* Patti [=LuPone=] and Mandy Patinkin have been best friends since ''Music/{{Evita}}'', and have a show that they tour together. As a result, a lot of fans seem to ship them, despite the fact that they are both married.
* Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess - the Phantom and Christine Daaé for Theatre/ThePhantomoftheOpera and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVgisIOJlcE This video]] (specifically when she kisses Kristin before her own husband, Creator/TayeDiggs...) doesn't help. They have their tons of LesYay, due to their close friendship.
