Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan have enthralled fans with their sweet relationship, which quickly evolved after they met in May 2009.
Burton hit it off with the Walking Dead actor instantly, thanks in part to her former One Tree Hill costar Danneel Ackles’ interference. Morgan, for his part, had his Supernatural costar Jensen Ackles to thank for introducing the pair that spring.
The couple didn’t tie the knot until October 2019, but throughout their first 10 years together, they grew in their love, and welcomed two children: Gus and George, in 2010 and 2018, respectively.
Two years later, the pair reflected on their introduction to one another and how they’ve evolved as a couple since their blind date.
“The smokin hot @jeffreydeanmorgan showed up and it was game over,” Burton recalled via Instagram in May 2021. “Here’s to being crazy kids, living all over the country, giving birth to two doppelgängers, getting gray hair and still being totally inappropriate … together.”
