Max Thieriot and Lexi Murphy
Can someone turn Max Thieriot and Lexi Murphy’s love story into a rom-com, please? Meeting each other miles away in the Caribbean in 2005 as teenagers, they realized that both of them grew up in Northern California.
They never lost touch, and Thieriot surprised her seven years later when he proposed at the same spot where they first met. She immediately accepted, and their married life began a year later in 2013. Since then, the couple welcomed two kids: Beaux and Maximus.
Billy Burke and Cheyenne Carson
Billy Burke and his girlfriend, Cheyenne Carson, have been together since 2019. Pretty private about their dating life, the two seem to shy away from most public acknowledgments or events. Yet, as of now, it appears that the two are still happily enjoying their time together. The Twilight dad was previously married to Pollyanna Rose, but they divorced in 2017. They share a daughter named Bluesy LaRue.
Kevin Alejandro and Leslie de Jesus Alejandro
After two decades of being married, Kevin Alejandro and his wife, Leslie de Jesus Alejandro, are still as thrilled to be together as ever before. They met in 2002, and the couple made things official in 2004. Four years later, a baby was on the way, son Kaden Michael.
Alejandro captioned her 20th anniversary post with, “The best decision I ever made started with this first “YES.” They have previously worked on projects together, most notably the short film Adult Night.
Michael Trucco and Sandra Hess
Sandra Hess and Michael Trucco‘s relationship originated in the previous century. Yup, that’s right. They met each other in 1997. Both of them portrayed lieutenants in the series Pensacola: Wings of Gold.
Although the show only lasted for three seasons, their relationship flourished well into the new millennium. They tied the knot in 2009, and the couple is still very much in love in 2024.
Morena Baccarin and Ben McKenzie
Fire Country star Morena Baccarin, aka Mickey Fox, and Ben McKenzie have known each other for quite some time. The two got introduced to each other on the set of The O.C. in the early ’00s, yet it wasn’t until they worked more closely on Gotham in 2014 that sparks started flying. McKenzie even admitted to not remembering their early interactions.
Be that as it may, the two moved on from that and married in 2017. They parent their two kids alongside Baccarin’s son, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Austin Chick.
Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Padalecki
Meeting on the set of Supernatural, actor couple Jared and Genevieve Padalecki, must be grateful for the CW show.
The Gilmore Girls cast member, who plays Camden Casey on Fire Country, even sneakily remembered that their first scene together was one where his other half was dressed solely in her lingerie. Afterward, the two worked alongside each other on multiple other projects such as Walker. They have three kids. Sons, Thomas Colton and Austin Shepherd, and daughter, Odette Elliott.
