Inside Hallmark Star Meghan Ory's Relationship With John Reardon

The on-screen chemistry shared by Meghan Ory and John Reardon in front of the camera on "Merlin's Apprentice" was due in part to their real-life chemistry behind the scenes. "I was doing my wardrobe fitting and he walked in the door with a friend of mine," Ory recalled to Valley News about her first interaction with Reardon on the mini-series. "I saw him and thought, 'He's sooooo dreamy.'"

The couple met years earlier, but became good friends while working on the series together. Their romance, however, had to wait until after filming was done. "I never think it's a good idea to date somebody you're working with," the "Once Upon A Time" cast member explained. After they moved on from their shared, project, though, all bets were off and the dating commenced. Their courtship turned into a marriage, with the duo exchanging vows in 2008.

In 2018, Ory gave birth to the couple's first child, and followed with a second in 2019. A third little one was welcomed in 2022, with Ory sharing in an Instagram post she filmed the sixth and final season of "Chesapeake Shores" while pregnant and fighting severe morning sickness. She thanked Reardon for his help during all of it, calling him her "rock."
