“The plan for Chris was always to have him on the show for two years,” Rovner told TVLine. “We’ve loved telling Mon-El’s story, as well as the story we’ve told for him and Kara. We hope the fans felt that it was a satisfying conclusion.”

“They both have destinies in different times as heroes,” Queller said. “What they did was the sort-of Casablanca decision of putting what’s most important to them — which is saving the world — first. It’s a little bittersweet that one destiny is to be a hero in this time and one’s destiny is to run the Legion in another time, but I think they grew a lot from knowing one another. They have respect for one another, and they have a respect for the decisions they respectively made.”
Benoist was earlier married to Glee co-star Blake Jenner. After getting married in 2013, Benoist filed a divorce in 2016 citing differences.
Congratulations to the Melissa Benoist for getting engaged!
