Ron PerlmanandAllison Dunbarare basking in the newlywed sunshine from theirJune 2022 weddingin Italy.

“It’s so fun,” Dunbar, 50, tells PEOPLE about their “awesome” relationship while accompanying Perlman, 72, at the Los Angeles premiere ofPoker Face, Tuesday.

“We kind of started living together, and then there was a pandemic about a month later,” Perlman adds about how the couple found love duringCOVID-19. “So we found out really quick whether we were going to make it or not, as did most relationships. You’re locked down together 24/7 and you’re seeing each other in nothing but sweats and pajamas.”

“We moved out to Pasadena right when the pandemic hit and we were kind of like, ‘Is this going to be really lame if we just launched into suburban life?'” adds Dunbar about how they adapted their lives to the pandemic. “But we love it. It’s turned out to be such a good move.”
