Virgin River may be known for its cozy small-town drama and swoon-worthy romances, but what about the love lives of its stars when the cameras stop rolling? While fans eagerly await Season 6 of the hit Netflix series — with Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) at the heart of the story — here’s a look at the real-life partners of the Virgin River cast.
Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel Monroe)
Off-screen, Alexandra is happily married to guitarist Casey Hooper, best known as Katy Perry’s lead guitarist. The two tied the knot in 2015 and share two children. They live a quiet family life in rural Georgia, far removed from the drama of Virgin River.
Martin Henderson (Jack Sheridan)
Though Martin keeps his personal life private, he has been linked to Helen Randag, a filmmaker and producer. The two reportedly dated for several years, with occasional glimpses shared on social media. However, it’s unclear if they’re still together, as Henderson hasn’t posted about his relationship recently.
Colin Lawrence (John “Preacher” Middleton)
In a true case of life imitating art, Colin is married to actress Lucia Walters, who also appeared on Virgin River — playing his character’s love interest, Julia. The couple have been married for over 20 years and share a daughter. Talk about on-screen chemistry with real-life roots!
Lauren Hammersley (Charmaine Roberts)
Lauren is notoriously private and has not publicly shared details about her relationship status. Unlike her character Charmaine — whose love life is anything but simple — Lauren keeps things strictly under wraps.
Benjamin Hollingsworth (Brady)
Ben is married to lingerie designer Nila Myers. The couple wed in 2012 and have three children together. While Brady may be a bit of a bad boy, Ben is a devoted husband and father in real life.
Annette O’Toole (Hope McCrea) and Tim Matheson (Doc Mullins)
While they’re paired on the show, both actors have separate real-life love stories. Annette has been married to actor Michael McKean (Better Call Saul) since 1999. Tim is married to Elizabeth Marighetto, his third wife, and they live a quiet life together away from the spotlight.
As Virgin River season 6 explores new romantic highs and lows, it’s clear that love — whether real or fictional — is always in the air for this talented cast.
