Welcome to the world of Hallmark Channel, “where love happens,” and love has definitely blossomed for these celebrity couples. Known for their feel-good rom-coms, the network has been the backdrop for several meet-cutes between the stars of their movies. These include Katie Cassidy and Stephen Huszar, who met while filming A Royal Christmas Crush, and new parents Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo, from The Sweetest Heart.
But, did you know the set of a made-for-TV movie isn’t just for finding love, but also nurturing already established relationships? Hallmark has become a destination for several married couples. Couples like Carlos and Alexa PenaVega have worked on several projects together, while another famous pair worked together for the first time in their decade of marriage, teaming up for a Hallmark movie.
It turns out that there might even be more love behind-the-scenes of the channel’s content and their meets are every bit as cute as that big city exec who stumbles upon a single father who owns a Christmas tree farm on the brink of ruin. And, to be honest, we would definitely watch films inspired by any of these IRL romances.
Check out more about these eight pairs who have co-starred in a Hallmark Channel movie together and find out the one couple that recently split, a storyline rarely seen on the network known for happily-ever-afters!
It’s truly fitting for true love to blossom on the set of A Royal Christmas Crush, where Katie Cassidy and Stephen Huszar first found love. Their romance started in March while filming the TV movie, and they sparked romance rumors when she posted a photo on Instagram snap kissing Huszar on the cheek, calling him “Prince Charming” in the caption.
Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo quietly began dating when they met on the set of 2018’s The Sweetest Heart, where they played high school sweethearts who find their way back to each other.
Love truly didn’t only happen on screen, it happened in real life too! Read more about these couples and their heartwarming stories here.
