Actress Teri Polo had quite the romance with her first husband and photographer, Anthony Moore. The couple became engaged in a Sears store and made their union official the following day by eloping to Las Vegas on April 20, 1997.

In the summer of 2002, Teri gave birth to their son Griffin, but Teri and Anthony's marriage didn't last, as the couple divorced three years later on April 19, 2005.

The following year, Teri met the drummer Jamie Wollam on the set for a video, and they soon became a couple. In 2007, Teri and Jamie welcomed a daughter, Bayley. However, the couple now lives apart since their separation early in 2012.

Sherri and her husband, Kamar de Los Reyes, whom she first met when they co-starred on "One Life to Live," have joined forces both personally and professionally.

During an interview in August 2014, Sherri noted that Kamar's previous experience with raising children comes in handy as she said:

"I'm lucky because Kamar has a very organized way of approaching everything he does, and it comes in handy with babies who need structure. He has a 17-year-old son, Caylen, so it's not his first rodeo."

Even though they were only months old at the time, Sherri said that the differences in their personalities already came through strongly as she added:

"Michael is full of buzzy energy and can barely contain himself. John is my zen Buddha boy. Very observant and mellow. He's always looking at Michael like, 'Bro, could you calm yourself, please?'"

While it might be encouraging to fangirls everywhere, Jake didn't read much into their unique meeting.

"We're young and having fun just getting to know each other. It doesn't matter how you meet someone — on set, in a coffee shop, at school, or in the business," Jake's rep reportedly said in an email statement to the Daily News. "Sometimes, you connect with people at the right moment, and you just click."

The award-winning series became a hit, but as it turns out, many things happened behind the scenes that the cast would have preferred to keep secret from fans.
