The Pearson’s are a tight-knit family on-screen, but behind the scenes, the This Is Us stars have their own sweet families in real life. From Mandy Moore to Milo Ventimiglia, the stars of the series have adorable relationships off-screen that you’ll be just as obsessed with as you were with Jack and Rebecca. See which of your favorite This Is Us stars are married or dating!
Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams
Although Mandy Moore’s This Is Us character Rebecca had a fulfilling marriage, the star’s first real union was not so sweet. Mandy Moore’s marriage to rocker Ryan Adams was what she has called “psychologically abusive.”
“His controlling behavior essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time — my entire mid-to-late 20s,” Moore shared in an interview.
Moore and Adams were married in 2009, after they began dating in 2007. But after a tumultuous marriage, the couple split up and divorced in 2016.
“It’s so weird because I think back to that chapter and it almost feels like it was someone else entirely that it happened to, because I’m in such a different place in my life,” Moore explained.
Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith
Mandy Moore did eventually find her happy ending with Taylor Goldsmith. The couple first connected back in 2015 after Moore praised Goldsmith’s band, Dawes, on Instagram. The singer saw the post, reached out and the rest is history.
After two years of dating, the couple got engaged in 2017, news that was broken by This Is Us co-stars Jon Huertas and Chris Sullivan.
“She just sent out an alert over our family text chain, so I can’t wait to hear about it,” Sullivan said in an interview. “She just sent a photo and just wanted us all to know that this just happened, and so then we went on a response spree for about a day and a half.”
Moore and Goldsmith tied the knot in November 2018. They welcomed their first child, son Gus, in 2021, followed by son Oscar in 2022 and daughter Louise in 2024.
“I feel incredibly understood and supported,” Moore shared. “I feel incredibly lucky to have somebody who is like, ‘I got your back.’ I found the right person and I feel like we can handle anything together.”
Milo Ventimiglia and Jarah Mariano
Milo Ventimiglia, who famously portrays Jack Pearson, secretly tied the knot with wife Jarah Mariano in early 2023.
“I’m grateful for her and I’m happy to have arrived in this moment, so married life is nice,” Ventimiglia said after opening up about married life.
While initially keeping photos of their wedding private, Mariano shared some on Instagram in September 2024. She also recently announced they are expecting their first child together
Chrissy Metz and Martyn Eaden
Before This Is Us premiered, Chrissy Metz, who portrayed Kate Pearson, was married to Martyn Eaden. The couple met in 2006 through an online dating site while Metz lived in Los Angeles and Eaden lived in England. The couple got engaged a year into the relationship and married in a small wedding. Metz and Eaden eventually divorced in 2015.
Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe
Sterling K. Brown (Randall Pearson) and wife Ryan first met and began dating in college in the late 1990s. The couple did break up for about three years, but eventually made their way back to each other. Brown and Bathe first eloped in 2006 and had a larger celebration in 2007. In 2011, the couple welcomed their first child, son Andrew, followed by their son Amaré in 2015.
Justin Hartley and Lindsay Hartley
Justin Hartley, a.k.a. Kevin Pearson, met his first wife, Lindsay Korman (Hartley), on the set of Passions and got engaged after only six months of dating. The couple tied the knot in 2004, welcoming their daughter Isabella just a few months later. Hartley and Korman later filed for divorce in 2012.
Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause
Hartley and Chrishell Stause first met in 2013 after being introduced through a mutual friend. By 2016, the couple got engaged, tying the knot in late 2017.
“At the risk of sounding cheesy, I look forward to sharing life experiences and growing old together,” Hartley shared. “Someday we can talk about all the things we did together 30 years ago!”
The couple eventually filed for divorce in 2019 and Stause later revealed Hartley ended things over text message. Yikes!
Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas
Hartley’s current wife, Sofia Pernas, was previously his co-star on The Young and the Restless from 2015 to 2016. They reconnected in 2020 and married in 2021. Their vows took place in their pool, but later they had a small wedding with family and friends.
“I feel loved, and I feel appreciated. I know she feels the same way,” Hartley shared. “We just have a really great relationship and a really terrific family. It’s healthy and it’s wonderful”
Chris Sullivan and Rachel Sullivan
The This Is Us star who portrays Toby, Chris Sullivan, married his wife, film producer Rachel, in 2010. After 10 years of marriage, the couple announced that their first child, son Bear, was born. In 2022, the Sullivans welcomed daughter Aoife Bea.
