Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) and Michael Saucedo (once upon a time Juan Santiago) never had a romance on General Hospital but did off camera. The couple married in 2001 and have three children together: Ethan Riley, Ella Bailey and Emerson Truett.

Bowers and Henry married in June of 2020 during the middle of the pandemic and thus had a smaller wedding complete with custom face masks to mark the special day. Bowers is known for composing soundtracks to series such as Dear White People and Bridgerton.

Though June 24 is this happy couple’s wedding anniversary, it sounds like they seize every day as a chance to celebrate their love. When they reached four years as marrieds in 2021, Clark Instagrammed Amy Driscoll’s portrayer that he was “so happy to go through life with you by my side!”

Over the years, The Jackal has formed a beautiful pack with his missus! Since tying the knot in the spring of 2010, the New Hampshire native, who’s played Damian Spinelli off and on since 2006, and his better half have welcomed into the world two daughters, Juna and Finola.

James Patrick Stuart is the son of the late Chad Stuart, part of the ’60s pop duo Chad and Jeremy. Like his father, he is a talented musician, having released several albums.

He’s been married to his wife Jocelyn Jane Stilwell since 2000, and they share two children. Before joining General Hospital as Valentin Cassadine, daytime viewers would have recognized him from his run as the nefarious Will Cortlandt on All My Children.

Charles Shaughnessy is probably best known to daytime fans for playing all-around-good-guy ISA agent Shane Donovan on Days of Our Lives. Some are more likely to recognize him as Maxwell Sheffield, aka Mr. Sheffield, from the long-running sitcom The Nanny starring Fran Drescher.

He’s been married to his wife Susan Fallender since 1983 and the couple have two daughters, Jenny and Maddy.

This is what’s cookin’! Two years after splitting from his wife of nearly a quarter of a century, the Emmy winner who plays Jason disclosed that he was dating the self-described “recipe creator” and “sauce lover” who competed on Season 2 of Netflix’s BBQ Showdown.

At the Men of General Hospital event in 2024, Josh Kelly admitted he was a big fan of Daytime Emmy winner Chloe Lanier. Though the two never worked together on the ABC soap, it hasn’t stopped them from becoming a real-life item!
