Few actors can say they married their co-star without the press knowing first — Eliza Taylor nearly did. The Australian actress, born October 24, 1989, in Melbourne, per Wikipedia (biographical profile), led The CW’s The 100 as Clarke Griffin for its entire run, opposite Bob Morley, the man she married in 2019 after a private courtship, as WHO (Australian entertainment outlet) reported. The questions that followed — about their family, Bellamy’s death, and Clarke and Bellamy’s true “endgame” — have only grown since.

What did Eliza Taylor do?
Ask the search engines and “what did Eliza Taylor do” reads like a résumé question. The verified résumé is shorter than most fans think: an Australian television actress who spent seven years at the center of one of The CW’s most talked-about dramas.
What movies has Eliza Taylor been in?
- Janae Timmins, Neighbours (2005–2008): her breakout role in Australian television (Wikipedia (biographical profile)).
- Clarke Griffin, The 100 (2014–2020): the role that made her a name in genre television (The CW (official studio)).
The honest answer to the “movies” question is that Taylor’s career is television-first; no major film roles appear in the sources reviewed here. The screen counts tell the same story: IMDb (production database) records the premiere on March 19, 2014, credits Taylor with 100 episodes across the run, and credits Morley with 97.
The gap between those counts is small, but it underscores a detail fans rarely notice: Taylor appeared in essentially the whole series, a near-complete run that left little room for a movie career on the side.
Two signature roles and a seven-season commitment — that’s the whole filmography the sources support. Fans hunting for hidden film credits will come up empty, and that’s the verified picture.
Did Eliza Taylor appear in Game of Thrones?
Game of Thrones credits in sources: none · Confusion driver: genre-TV overlap · Her actual show: The 100
No — and this is one of the most persistent lookup mistakes on this topic. The sources reviewed contain no Game of Thrones credit for Eliza Taylor. The mix-up usually comes from fandom overlap: both shows lived in the same sci-fi/fantasy corner of television, and both casts produced plenty of “wait, that actor was in…” moments.
If you’re trying to place a face from Game of Thrones, you’re likely thinking of a different Australian actress.
How much money did Eliza Taylor make from The 100?
Published salary: none · Verified figure: none · Worth repeating: any number online is an estimate
There is no verified answer, and the absence is the answer. Cast salaries for The 100 were never publicly disclosed in the sources reviewed for this article. No contract figure, no per-episode number, and no fiscal detail appears in the biographical or entertainment records examined.
That hasn’t stopped fandom from circulating numbers, but every figure floating around is a guess — and no figure will be repeated here as fact.
What is Eliza Scanlen doing now?
- Eliza Scanlen is a different Australian actress — not the same person as Eliza Taylor.
- Her current activities aren’t covered in the sources reviewed for this article.
- The shared first name is the reason the two get conflated in search results.
If you arrived here looking for Scanlen, the useful correction is the name, not a career update. The sources reviewed don’t include a verified 2026 update for her, so any claim about her current projects would be speculation from this article’s record.
The pattern is consistent: Taylor’s career is TV-deep rather than movie-wide, her salary was never public, and the name collisions create more search traffic than actual credits.
Are Clarke and Bellamy still married in real life?
Clarke and Bellamy never married on screen. The actors who played them did. Keep those two sentences separate and most fandom confusion clears up immediately.
The shortest accurate version: per Wikipedia (biographical profile), Taylor stated on 7 June 2019 that she had married Morley. That public statement came after a private stretch that surprised even close viewers of the show.
Who is Eliza Taylor’s husband?
- Bob Morley — her The 100 co-star, credited as Bellamy Blake.
- Public status: married; announced in June 2019.
- Fiction check: the characters they played were never married in the series.
The official show record, the couple’s June 2019 statements, and the entertainment press that covered them all agree on the same fact: Bob Morley is Eliza Taylor’s husband. The record also agrees on the fiction: Clarke and Bellamy were co-leads with a powerful bond, not a married couple.
How did Bob Morley and Eliza Taylor fall in love?
- Before 2019: years of friendship and co-starring on The 100.
- March–April 2019: Taylor said the relationship changed in March after years of friendship, and that by April the couple was discussing a future in Australia before deciding to marry (HollywoodLife (celebrity news site)).
- May 2019: reportedly married in Hawaii (HollywoodLife).
- June 2019: the marriage was announced publicly.
By the couple’s own telling, this was a fast, quiet decision, not a slow courtship. They had built years of friendship on set; the romantic shift took months, not seasons. The public record doesn’t contain much ceremony detail — the Hawaii wedding is reported rather than officially documented, which is why the word “reportedly” stays attached to it.
Clarke and Bellamy spent seven seasons not quite saying the thing fans wanted to hear. The actors behind them moved from friends to married in roughly three months — and then kept the next chapter, a family, just as quiet.
The implication: the real-life timeline is short, decisive, and private — which is exactly why it reads as a plot twist to anyone who only knew Clarke and Bellamy on screen.
Did Eliza Taylor have a baby during The 100?
No — and the timing confuses people because the show’s end and the baby news sit close together in search results.
When did Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley welcome their first child?
- The 100 ended in 2020.
- The first child was publicly reported after the series ended.
- The child’s name and birth date are not covered in the sources reviewed.
The reporting came from WHO (Australian entertainment outlet), which has tracked the couple since their June 2019 marriage announcement. The record reviewed here doesn’t include a birth date or a name, and the couple has kept those details private. The answer to the question is therefore clean: the baby arrived after The 100, not during it.
Why this matters: the “baby during The 100” question is really a timeline check, and the timeline separates cleanly — series ends in 2020, baby news after.
Why was Bellamy killed off The 100?
Bellamy Blake’s death in the final season is a scripted event, and the reason fans still argue about it is that the full explanation was never laid out in the sources reviewed here.
Why was Bellamy barely in season 7?
- Bellamy’s exit was written into The 100’s final season — a narrative decision, not an actor scandal.
- Public reporting at the time tied Morley’s reduced Season 7 screen time to personal reasons.
- No detailed official network statement about those reasons appears in the sources reviewed.
The final season of the series — the last year of its 2014–2020 run, per the timeline above — is where Bellamy Blake’s story ended. The character’s death was a choice made inside the writers’ room, not an event that happened to the actor. In that narrow sense, “why was Bellamy killed off” has a straightforward answer: the show’s last chapter closed his arc.
The less straightforward part is the absence. Reports tied Morley’s lighter Season 7 presence to personal circumstances, but the sources reviewed here don’t include a detailed official statement from the network or the producers explaining the decision. That gap is why the theories keep multiplying.
Any future “Bellamy returns” or “The 100 revival” headline should be weighed against the verified record: the character was written out in the final season, and none of the sources reviewed here hint at a revival.
The catch: without an official statement, every fan theory — scheduling, politics, creative differences — fills the vacuum. The verified record supports only a scripted death in a final season, plus reports of a reduced role for personal reasons.
Was Bellamy in love with Clarke?
This is the rare fan question with no citation attached. The show built Bellamy and Clarke into its emotional center, but whether that bond was romantic is a reading, not a verified fact.
Did Bellamy ever confess his feelings to Clarke?
No single scene in the sources reviewed confirms a formal declaration of love from Bellamy to Clarke. The bond is central to the show; the label is not.
Across seven seasons, the series keeps Bellamy and Clarke’s dynamic in a space where commitment reads one way for some viewers and another for others. A clean “confession” scene — the kind that would settle a debate — isn’t in the record reviewed here.
What did the actors say about Bellamy and Clarke?
- Eliza Taylor, to Extra in 2019, called marrying Bob Morley “the best decision I’ve ever made” (Extra (celebrity interview series)).
- Bob Morley, after the announcement, asked audiences for respect and kindness about the marriage.
- Neither actor used those statements to define Clarke and Bellamy’s fictional bond.
Read the record literally: the actors talk about each other in real time, in real life. That’s valuable for the marriage questions, but it doesn’t resolve the fictional one. The honest position is that “was Bellamy in love with Clarke” remains an open interpretation.
How old was Bob Morley in season 1 of The 100?
The premiere aired in 2014, Morley was born in 1984, and Taylor was born in 1989. At premiere, that makes Morley 29 and Taylor 24 — a five-year gap, and an easy arithmetic check for any fan page.
How much older was Bellamy than Octavia?
Bob Morley (actor): born 1984 · 29 at premiere · Eliza Taylor (actor): born 1989 · 24 at premiere · Bellamy (character): 23 in Season 1 · Octavia (character): 17 in Season 1
In the show, Bellamy is written as the older Blake sibling: first-season materials put him at 23 and Octavia at 17, a six-year gap. The actors’ real-life gap is five years — close, but not identical, which is exactly the kind of detail that produces confident-but-wrong trivia.
The more useful takeaway is that Morley at 29 played a 23-year-old, a smaller cosmetic gap than fans often assume. The character ages and the actor ages are separate records, and both answer cleanly when you keep them apart.
Two columns, one pattern: the fiction kept Clarke and Bellamy apart on screen in the same years the actors quietly built a real marriage.
| Question fans ask | Clarke & Bellamy (in The 100) | Eliza Taylor & Bob Morley (real life) |
|---|---|---|
| Relationship status | Co-leads; never married on screen | Married; announced publicly June 2019 |
| Wedding | None in the series | Reportedly Hawaii, May 2019 (HollywoodLife (celebrity news site)) |
| Children | None; Bellamy dies in the final season | One child, reported after The 100 ended |
| Post-2020 status | Bellamy written out; Clarke survives the finale | No public indication of a split in the sources reviewed |

What the actors said
Two public statements carry most of the weight in separating the marriage from the myth.
It was the best decision I’ve ever made.
— Eliza Taylor, to Extra (2019) (Extra (celebrity interview series))
Eliza is my wife. Please be respectful and kind regarding our marriage.
— Bob Morley, as summarized by WHO (2019) (WHO (Australian entertainment outlet))
Where that leaves fans
For fans still arguing about Clarke and Bellamy, the verified record is more interesting than the speculation: the actors married, started a family, and kept the details private, while the characters got a final-season breakup-by-death that still fuels forums. For anyone writing about this couple in 2026, the choice is clear: keep the marriage in the biography and Bellamy’s feelings in the interpretation column — or watch the search results blur them together again.
