While it seems obvious that Sharon and Mark are dating in real-life, the duo has kept mum about their relationship.

Although they haven't confirmed anything, the pair continues to raise eyebrows when they post photos together on social media. 

Based on the photo, it's obvious Sharon and Mark are close in real-life. In fact, the duo have even vacationed together. On New Year's Day, the couple jetted off to Hawaii for a getaway.

Given how some soap fans can be opinionated, it's no wonder Sharon and Mark have chosen not to comment about their relationship.

While Sharon and Mark are continuing to keep mum about their relationship, fans are convinced they are together in real-life.

When Y&R returned to production following the coronavirus shutdown, the show took safety measures.

Of course as fans have noticed, the actors are kept six feet apart to meet the guidelines. Yet, when it comes to the scenes with Sharon and Mark, it seems they're in closer proximity to each other. Fans have also pointed out the two are touching each other during their scenes.

Since Y&R has safety guidelines, it seems like Sharon and Mark closeness and touching during filming wouldn't be allowed. However, if they were a real-life couple, then the issue wouldn't be a problem.

Aside from Sharon and Mark, Y&R is also using this method for their other real-life couple Bryton James and Brytni Sarpy.
