We take a picture-packed look at romantic relationship with her husband, Elan Ruspoli, and the family they’ve built together.

Dustin thinks there’s more behind Austin’s lawsuit than meets the eye, senses there is light at the end of the tunnel where Sonny’s concerned, digs the new pool set and definitely had some thoughts after seeing Jason and Carly’s tepid kiss in the latest General Hospital column.
