Passions flared in 2002, when Korman met Justin Hartley, who’d been hired to play Fox Crane, a new love interest for her Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. Just two years later, the co-stars tied the knot… only to untie it eight years later. Hartley subsequently made a missus of Chrishell Stause (ex-Jordan, Days of our Lives); we don’t need to tell you how that worked out, do we?

They’ll always have Santa Barbara. Not the city, mind you, the NBC soap that introduced Vincent Irizarry (then playing Dr. Scott Clark) to his future wife (who’d been cast as his old flame, Celeste DiNapoli). Following their 1992 divorce, Irizarry (better known as All My Children’s Dr. Evil, David Hayward) went on to marry Avalon House.

After his romance with General Hospital castmate Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda), Tyler Christopher (ex-Nikolas) said “I do” to future Desperate Housewives star Longoria, who so closely resembled his ex that she once played her lookalike on GH. Four years after their split, the Emmy winner formed a new union with Brienne Pedigo.

Ronn Moss (ex-Ridge, The Bold and the Beautiful) and wife Devin DeVasquez are so active on social media that it’s almost impossible to imagine a time when they weren’t a couple. However, that time did exist. From 1990-2002, Moss was married to Shattuck (formerly Ashley on The Young and the Restless), his co-star in the movie Hot Child in the City.

Since 2006, Billy Warlock (ex-A.J., General Hospital) has been happily hitched to Julie Pinson, whom he met during her stint as Eve Lambert on GH spinoff Port Charles. But his first wife, back when he was playing Days of our Lives’ Frankie Brady in the mid-1980s, was Walker, at the time Santa Barbara’s Eden Capwell.

You probably thought that the first Mrs. Wally Kurth was Rena Sofer, who played Lois Cerullo to his Ned Ashton on General Hospital, didn’t you? But The Bold and the Beautiful star (who’s now Quinn) was actually the second wife of Days of our Lives’ Justin. Spouse No. 1 was Ettinger, who you may remember from HBO’s Carnivále. He’s now wed to Debra Yuhasz.

Peter Bergman (Jack, The Young and the Restless) and wife Mariellen have been together for so long — 35 years! — you could convince us that they invented marriage. But, in fact, he had a wife before her — before he was even All My Children good guy Cliff Warner. Back in 1976, he entered into an “altared” state with future Tony winner Ebersole.

Since 2014, Jon Lindstrom (Kevin, General Hospital) and Cady McClain (formerly Dixie on All My Children and Rosanna on As the World Turns) have been a daytime power couple. Previously, though, he’d put a ring on the finger of Davidson (The Young and the Restless’ Ashley). The marriage didn’t last, but as he said in 2000, “we remain the best of friends.”

It would seem that Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives) was always destined to wind up with his fiancée, Law & Order vet Angie Harmon. (Have you read their love story?) Along the way, however, he fell for Dutch model Haoud. Their eight-year marriage ended in 2014 but left the former couple with three beautiful souvenirs of their relationship: sons Jathan, Cavan and Landan.

The Young and the Restless’ second Snapper Foster is on wife No. 3 now. But back in 1984, David Hasselhoff was just climbing onto the marry-go-’round, with Knight Rider leading lady Hickland (who’d go on to play One Life to Live’s Lindsay Rappaport, among other schemers). Fun fact: Their wedding was recreated in a Season 4 episode of his NBC series. Presumably, with the talking car as best man.
