Martin Henderson may melt hearts as Jack Sheridan on Virgin River, but fans are often just as curious about the New Zealand actor’s off-screen love life. Spoiler: he and co-star Alexandra Breckenridge are not a couple in real life — she’s happily married to musician Casey Hooper.
So what about Henderson?
Despite never having married, the actor is currently in a committed relationship with Penny, a fellow Kiwi and interior designer. The couple lives together on Great Barrier Island along with Penny’s children, keeping their life largely out of the spotlight.
Before Penny, Henderson dated model Aisha Mendez in 2020–2021, famously quarantining together in a New Zealand hotel during the pandemic. His most high-profile romance came in 2012, when he briefly dated Demi Moore following her split from Ashton Kutcher — a whirlwind period he later described with empathy for the pressures of extreme celebrity.
Over the years, he’s also been linked to actresses Radha Mitchell, Marnette Patterson, Aishwarya Rai, and model Nicky Watson, though the actor rarely comments on rumors.
While Henderson doesn’t have children of his own, he’s a devoted dog dad to his beloved Sammy, who frequently pops up on his Instagram adventures.
