Dex Lawson is a mortal artist who was married to Phoebe Halliwell for a short period of time while she was under her alias Julie Bennett. Before faking her death in 2005, Dex had an interest in Phoebe and attended her fake memorial service. It is implied that Phoebe had run into Dex numerous times before, but never said anything.

History[]

Early life[]

Months before he started dating Julie Bennett, Dex had a relationship with a woman named Sylvia. He also played football in college.

Phoebe Halliwell's Memorial[]

When Phoebe and her sisters faked their deaths after defeating the demon Zankou, they held a fake memorial service for themselves where most of their colleagues and friends went to. One of them was Dex Lawson, an artist who had an interest in Phoebe before her death. However, he never really talked to her. Phoebe, in disguise, spotted Dex at her urn and commented that she didn't know he knew she even existed. When the memorial service ended, Phoebe tried to flirt with Dex as he was leaving, asking him why he never asked her out. But she was interrupted by Piper before Dex could say anything else.

Dating Julie Bennett[]

Since Phoebe liked Dex and vice versa, they both started a relationship together. However, when they shook hands at one point, she received a premonition of them getting married, which forced Phoebe to take their relationship further and faster. Although, Billie cast a spell that caused them to get married earlier than Phoebe expected. Nonetheless, she accepted it and thought that maybe that was the way she was meant to get married to Dex all along. They talked and decided to stay married to see how it would play out.

Finding out the Truth[]

After only one month of being under disguises, the sisters make the decision to return to their old chaotic, demonic lives, which means that Phoebe has to tell Dex who she really is. She goes and sees him, and apologizes to him before glamouring back into Julie, causing Dex to stare and eventually faint. They annul their marriage and their relationship is put on hold for a while. At one point, Phoebe mistakenly believes she is pregnant with his baby. However, the test proved to be negative. They initially agreed to take things slow as they get to know each other. Their relationship eventually ended and they both went their separate ways.
