Hallmark's Perfect Match: Meet The Cast's Real-Life Partners

Real life is not often like the movies, but when it comes to the cast of Hallmark's "Perfect Match," some of the actors have love stories packed with just as much romance as Jessica and Adam's love story. In the 2015 romantic comedy movie audiences are first introduced to an engaged couple who may seem like the romantic leads, but in reality they are just the catalyst for another love story between their two clashing planners. In the television movie, the bride and groom cannot agree on wedding details, so both a wedding planner and an event planner are hired, and the film's main real love story happens between them. In an interview with Hallmark, veteran actor Linda Gray, who played the mother of the bride, said of "Perfect Match," "It's basically about love and balance and harmony and how we [people in relationships] have to compromise in most situations."

While some of the members of the film's cast appear to be single or have kept their off-screen romantic lives private, others have fallen head over heels and found their very own Adam or Jessica. Many of the real-life partners of the cast maintain a low profile, but others are no stranger to the entertainment industry. Meet the real-life partners of the cast of Hallmark's "Perfect Match" who found their one perfect match, and find out all the ways in which their own love stories could be the center of the next Hallmark romance movie.   

"Perfect Match" is just one of many on the list of Hallmark movies starring Danica McKellar. The Hallmark star has played the romantic lead in over a dozen on-screen love stories, but when it comes to her real life she only has her eye on one special love interest: her husband, Scott Sveslosky. The actor married Sveslosky in 2014 in Hawaii, and they have been together ever since. It was an exciting time for McKellar, as "Perfect Match" was filmed shortly after her nuptials. 

Although Sveslosky's main profession is as an insurance lawyer, he was previously a model and now has struck a perfect balance with his wife since she brings out his creative side by encouraging him to write. The couple have even professionally collaborated; Sveslosky has written some films his wife starred in, including Hallmark's "Campfire Kiss." 

In a 2023 chat with People, McKellar revealed that her husband will write scripts based on offhand comments she makes about parts she'd like to play one day. "[I]t's not his day job, so the fact he will take the time to do that is really cool," she said. "He's so romantic. I hit the jackpot." The actor and her husband both have children from their previous marriages, and the blended family now lives in Tennessee together where they stay out of the spotlight when they are not working with one another.

Paul Greene's leading role as the event planner Adam in "Perfect Match" was his first for the Hallmark Channel, but in real life the actor is no stranger to love. The Hallmark star was previously married to Angi Fletcher, but Paul's romantic relationship now is with his fiancé Katie Austin, a fellow actor and life coach from Australia. In May 2019, Greene popped the question in Italy, and the couple welcomed a son, Austin Greene, in 2021, Paul Greene's second child. As of this writing, they have not yet tied the knot.

After Greene proposed, he told ET that he was smitten from the moment a friend showed him a photo of her. He also shared that he was grateful that she developed such a positive relationship with his child from his first marriage. "She just keeps getting more amazing as time goes on," he said. "As does our love and connection." In a 2025 Facebook post, Greene reflected on the evolution of their relationship, writing, "We have been adjusting and discovering a new chapter of our love. As soon as a child enters the picture. It's a recalibration & a time to dig deep and lean on each other and your tools."

Speaking of tools, Greene and Austin have worked together on a professional level. Austin is an intervention coach who holds a master's degree in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and the couple created a learning program together called Freedom Alchemist in which she focuses on the emotional side of life coaching while Paul uses his nutrition degree to focus on the food and fitness side of their joint coaching program. 

"Perfect Match" is one of Canadian actor Elise Gatien's earlier Hallmark projects, and in 2023 she became one of the new faces in Season 5 of the Netflix series "Virgin River." In "Perfect Match," Gatien played the bride whose wedding more or less becomes a battleground for two totally different wedding planners. Since then, she's had a few major life milestones of her own: In 2020, Gatien and her then-boyfriend, Stu Jameson, welcomed a baby. The couple got married in a simple ceremony less than three months after becoming parents. In 2026, Gatien shared they are expecting a second child.

Gaiten may have a career in the spotlight, but Jameson prefers to stay out of the public eye. His own social media is private, but based on Gatien's Instagram posts, it seems fair to say he lives a life full of adventure with his wife and kid by his side. The family of three travel together and participate in many outdoor activities, from boating to skiing. It is not unusual for actors to date fellow actors, but it seems when it comes to this couple's professions, opposites attract. As of 2026, Gatien's fiancé works as a production planner for the company ATCO Structures and has previously worked in other facets of the construction industry. While Gatien is busy running lines and auditioning for roles, her husband works on reports and implementing workplace safety in his job.

In "Perfect Match," Anthony Konechny played Paul, the groom who struggles to reach an agreement on wedding details with his bride-to-be, Lucy (Elise Gatien). In real life, the Hallmark actor is not married as of 2026, but there may just be wedding bells at some point down the road. (And if there are, let us hope his wedding planning experience is a little less stressful than Paul and Lucy's wedding planning experience.)

While there are limited details to work with, Konechny seemingly hard-launched a relationship online in 2025. In December of that year, Konechny posted a series of photos to Instagram smiling with a woman named Madison Nylund, with only a heart emoji as the caption. The photos show moments of PDA and dates together at wineries, and the series of pics also suggest that the presumed couple shares a love of travel together, whether they are taking beach vacations or traipsing around New York City. Again, there is not much information beyond that, as the presumed couple keep their relationship mostly out of the public eye, and Nylund's own Instagram account is private.

It appears Konechny connected with someone who is not at all connected to the industry. Nylund, who pursued higher education and attended Yorkville University, now works as a registered clinical counsellor at Well Health Counselling and previously worked in the service and sports industries. She works and lives in the Greater Vancouver Metropolitan Area, the same area where the Hallmark actor was born and raised.

Marco Soriano played the supporting character of Sal in Hallmark's "Perfect Match," but in real life he is the main character in his own love story. The actor and writer sure stays busy between teaching acting workshops and performing in productions at the Italian Theatre he co-founded called BellaLuna Productions, but it is clear he has made time for his own love life as well.

Although he never publicly shared wedding details, Soriano got married and lives with his husband, Michal Le Fou, in Vancouver, which is where the actor was born and raised. Soriano's husband is one of the real-life partners of Hallmark Channel stars who works in a different industry than his spouse and prefers to keep a low profile. Thanks to Instagram, we know Le Fou worked towards his PhD at the University of British Columbia and enjoys traveling and sharing photos from his travels to places such as Colorado and New York City. 

For Valentine's Day in 2025, the Hallmark actor and his husband proved they are often on the same page without even trying; they both adorably gave each other white tulips. Soriano shared a photo to Instagram of the two bouquets and wrote, "Great Minds." The actor has a good relationship with his husband's family as well; Soriano posted another picture on Instagram in 2025 of him enjoying a drink with Le Fou's mom and wrote in the caption, "Sunset cocktails with my favorite mother-in-law." 

Whether she's playing the supporting role of Felicia in Hallmark's "Perfect Match" or starring in her own long-running one woman show "Dissolve," writer and actor Meghan Gardiner is dedicated to her work. However, her acting career is not the only star of Gardiner's story; her family life and love life share center stage as well. 

Gardiner is married to fellow Canadian actor Todd Thomson, and the couple welcomed a child in 2012. Like his wife, Thomson is creatively inclined and has acted in dozens of theater productions, television movies, and shows throughout his long career, most notably the movie "Fifty Shades Freed." When he is not acting, Thomson, who considers himself a family man, relaxes with his wife and their child and plays guitar. 

The fact that both Gardiner and her husband work in the entertainment industry has led to the couple merging their professional lives as well as their love lives; the married couple previously acted alongside one another in an episode of the mini-series "V.C. Andrews' Heaven" where they played spouses on-screen as well.  The couple has collaborated together in multiple different ways; Thomson also ran an acting studio called Todd Thomson Coaching Studio that his wife previously booked a television role on the show "Beyond" through. Similar to other "Perfect Match" cast members and their real-life partners, the Canadian actor lives with her husband and their child in Vancouver.

Linda Gray, who is best known for playing Sue Ellen Ewing on "Dallas," played the mother of the groom, Gabby Taylor, in the television movie "Perfect Match" who unwittingly becomes a matchmaker when she hires two dueling event wedding planners who inevitably fall for each other. (Would you expect anything else from a Hallmark movie?) When it comes to her own love story, the actor is single as of 2026, but she was previously in a relationship with an art director and photographer. Gray married her real-life partner Ed Thrasher in 1962, and they went on to have two children.

The couple divorced in 1983 after Gray's career took off. Years later, she would say the relationship went south after she did not put her own acting ambitions on pause. "[W]hen I announced I wanted to live my dream, the answer was, 'No. You'll become an actor when the children are in college,'" she said in a 2015 interview with Hello! magazine. "I thought, 'My God, we're living his dream, but what about mine?'"

In a 2026 interview with Hello!, Gray indicated that she harbored no hard feelings toward her ex, calling their union a "beautiful marriage." Rather, they just wanted different things from life, and the relationship ran its course. "I didn't look at it [the marriage] as a failure," she said. "It just had come to an end." These days, Gray is open to love but content just being single and spending time with family and friends. "If somebody comes along, perfect, but I'm not out looking," she said. "I mean, I'm 85 years old and life is wonderful. I have many friends, and that's it."

After playing the supporting character of Francine in the Hallmark romantic comedy "Perfect Match," Beverley Breuer went on to act in a number of other Hallmark romance films since, from "A December Bride" to "A Tale of Two Christmases." Her other credits include "Scary Movie 4," "Stargate SG-1," and "Firewall." And while she leads a relatively quiet personal life, we do know Beverley has been married twice.

In 1973, Beverley tied the knot with Jacob George Breuer. Although she kept her ex-husband's last name to remain consistent in her stage name when booking roles, the marriage itself did not last; the couple got divorced in 2002.

Five years after the Canadian actor's divorce from her first husband, Beverley married her second husband, Lee Binns.  As far as we can tell, Binns does not work in the entertainment industry and prefers to keep a low profile. Like his wife, Binns has no known public social media, and it seems he prefers to support Beverley outside of the limelight.
