Inside Hallmark Power Couple Kevin McGarry And Kayla Wallace's Relationship
There are few things more romantic than a good Hallmark rom-com, but things get even more adorable when the actors fall in love in real life. That's exactly what happened for actors Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace, who met on the set of the Hallmark series "When Calls the Heart" in 2019 and started dating soon after.
Both McGarry and Wallace are familiar faces on the network. You may remember McGarry from his roles in "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," "Country Crush," and "Christmas Scavenger Hunt." Wallace, on the other hand, is known for "A Song For Christmas," "Once Upon A Prince," and "Christmas Au Pair."
The pair finally made their relationship official in 2020. Since then, they've costarred in "Feeling Butterflies" and "My Grown-Up Christmas List" and appeared in other solo Hallmark projects. As of December 2022, the two have taken their relationship to the next stage and are officially engaged. Here's everything we know about this match made in Hallmark heaven.
Wallace and McGarry went public with their relationship
Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace were both established Hallmark stars when they first appeared in the show "When Calls the Heart." Even though the pair only had "a handful of scenes together," as Wallace put it in an interview with Celebrity Page, they still connected behind the scenes.
By 2020, the couple made their romance official when McGarry posted an Instagram photo of the pair in a series of Polaroids, writing "Photo evidence" in the caption. Since then, the pair have shared a number of other cute photos as their relationship continued. In December 2020, Wallace posted a picture of heart-shaped Christmas decorations featuring a photo of her and McGarry. Then, in November 2021, McGarry uploaded a series of pics of Wallace's birthday celebration.
During promotion for their film "Feeling Butterflies" in 2022, Wallace explained her excitement about sharing the screen with her significant other. "It was fun to, you know, pretend not to know him for a second... and to sort of go through the feeling again," she said. "To fall in love with me all over again," McGarry chimed in with a smile.
The couple got engaged in 2022
In late 2022, Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace announced that they were engaged to be married in an Instagram reel that featured a slow-motion video of the couple kissing, an engagement ring clearly on display. The caption simply read, "Forever."
The pair was next spotted spending Christmas Eve with their "When Calls The Heart" co-stars Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum when Krakow posted a pic of the foursome on social media. "Wish our friends [Kayla Wallace] and [Kevin McGarry] a massive congratulations on their engagement!!! So happy for you both and thrilled we were all able to celebrate together in the Big Apple!" she wrote in the caption.
Wallace and McGarry will be sharing the screen once again when "When Calls the Heart" returns for season 10 in July 2023. While Hallmark may have some adorable love stories, this real-life romance that bloomed on set might be even better. We hope the happy couple share many happy years together — on screen and off.
