As a member of Comanechi, Charlie played the drums while Akiko contributed as the lead singer and guitarist. Despite their significant age gap of 14 years, they fell in love and welcomed their son, Archie Heaton, into the world.

After their split, Charlie started a romantic relationship with his "Stranger Things" co-star, Natalia Dyer. Rumors about their relationship surfaced in September 2016 and were confirmed when they were seen together in New York in October 2017.
