Are Tilly and Burnham best friends in the series?

[Kristine]

How close is their friendship? And are the actresses who play those characters friends in real life?

 

[The Wormhole]

How close is their friendship?

They must be damn close friend since even after Michael was reinstated as a Commander she continued to stay in junior officers quarters voluntarily so she and Tilly could remain roommates.

And are the actresses who play those characters friends in real life?

Probably. IIRC, the entire cast on this show gets along quite well.

The entire cast gets along? That's not Star Trek!

Yeah that was weird. She was captain but still sharing a room. I didn't really get that.

Matalas forbid.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Yeah that was weird. She was captain but still sharing a room. I didn't really get that.

I thought once Burnham was captain that Tilly moved out

Nope. It was said in the episode when Tilly leaves that she was still sharing a room
