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 attended. 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 think 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 Phoebe out. But she was interrupted by Piper before Dex could say anything else.
Dating Julie Bennett
Shortly after the funeral, Phoebe goes to the Bay Mirror as Julie Bennett to retrieve 'her' things. She and Dex run into each other in the elevator. When they shake hands, she receives a premonition of them getting married. Since Phoebe likes Dex and vice versa, they start a relationship together. Because of her premonition, Phoebe forces their relationship further and faster. Although, Billie cast a spell that causes them to get married earlier than Phoebe expected. Nonetheless, she accepts it and thinks that maybe that was the way she is meant to get married to Dex all along. They talk and decide 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, including the fact that she is a witch. She goes to see 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, a second test proves to be negative.
They initially agree to take things slow as they get to know each other anew., but in the end, their relationship ends and they go their separate ways.
