Paquin, 27, who was nominated for a supporting-actress Oscar in 1994 for The Piano, plays a mortal, telepathic woman on the hit show. Moyer plays a vampire in the series.
The pair have been dating since February, which, Paquin revealed, made their love scenes on camera a lot easier.
'Obviously, if you're already with that person, then you're not having to sort of get over the 'Wow, I'm naked with someone that I don't even know the middle name of!''

Miley Cyrus stalker charged
Los Angeles (dpa) - A 53-year-old who believes he is secretly engaged to Miley Cyrus has been charged with attempting to stalk the teenage actress.
Mark McLeod was arrested after he returned to the film set where the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star is working, despite previously being warned by police to stay away.
Disney security officers reported that he asked after the actress and knocked on the doors of homes near the set. He later told officers he had come to the beach 'to be with Miley' and tried to head butt one of them when he was handcuffed, a police report said.
McLeod has made no known threats to Cyrus, but police said the charge was justified because he had been warned not to return to the film set after the first arrest.
