The Starcrossed Hallmark Couple First Met in 2018
Wallace, 32, and McGarry, 40, first met on the Hallmark Channel series in 2018 when they joined the cast for season 6, which aired in spring 2019. McGarry played Nathan Grant, a mountie in Hope Valley, while Wallace portrayed Fiona Miller for five seasons before leaving the show ahead of season 11 due to scheduling conflicts.
McGarry all but confirmed their romance on Instagram in November 2020, just after season 8 wrapped. He shared a photo of two coffee cups surrounded by Polaroids of himself and Wallace, cheekily captioning it, “Photo evidence. 📸.”
In December 2022, two years after confirming their relationship, McGarry and Wallace shared a joint Instagram post to announce their engagement. The clip, which showed the couple kissing to The Beatles’ “In My Life,” was simply captioned, “Forever ❤️.”
The Hallmark couple married in 2024.
