With the official premiere of Virgin River season 4, it’s apparent to everyone how stars Alexandra Breckenridge
and Martin Henderson have great on-camera chemistry (like, really great). So much so, that some people want to
know if the two are having their own Jack-and-Mel romantic rendezvous in real life. At the risk of upsetting some viewers, we probably should let you know right off the bat that Alexandra and Martin are not actually dating. In fact, Alexandra has been happily married to her real life husband, actor and musician Casey Hooper.
What’s interesting is Alexandra’s hubby is not only Katy Perry’s guitarist, but the Iowa native even performed during Katy’s Super Bowl halftime show in 2015, according to The Des Moines Register. He also spent years traveling the world with the artist and was featured in the documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me.
The story goes that Casey and Alexandra first crossed paths at a Grammys after-party while both living in California and pursuing their careers. And the rest, as they say, is history. Alexandra and Casey tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony on September 13, 2015 in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado.
Today, the couple live in what Atlanta Magazine calls “a quiet community just outside Atlanta in a two-story house they’ve made their own.” In 2016, they became parents to their son, Jack. A year later, they welcomed their daughter, Billie, into the world.
Alexandra and Casey also seem more than happy living in Georgia and being able to work on various projects close to home.
“The rural areas of Georgia have an amazing sense of community we were lacking in L.A.,” Alexandra told Atlanta Magazine. “We wanted our children to grow up in a place where they could play and ride their bikes that didn’t feel like a big city.”
She expressed just as much excitement about her husband while speaking with Good Housekeeping in January 2018, “Let me also say that my husband is incredible — I’m a lucky girl!”
So there you have it! As for Martin, he’s notoriously private about his love life. He was reported to be dating a woman named Aisha Mendez and the two even quarantined together in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But they parted ways sometime in 2021. According to a June article from Hello!, the actor is supposedly in a relationship with an interior designer from New Zealand.
