Inside Days Of Our Lives Star Marci Miller's Marriage
Marci Miller won over "Days of Our Lives" fans when she took over the role of Abigail Deveraux DiMera in 2016 following actress Kate Mansi's exit from the NBC soap opera. Miller immediately became a favorite among "Days of Our Lives" viewers as she brought her own flavor to the role of Abigail.
Longtime fans of the sudser know that Abigail Deveraux is a legacy character who is the daughter of Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton. She has a brother named JJ and a half-sister named Gwen (via Cheat Sheet). Over the years, Abby's love life has been chaotic as she's dated characters such as reformed serial killer Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson), had an affair with EJ DiMera (then James Scott), and even tried to seduce Austin Reed (Austin Peck), per Soap Central. However, the love of Abby's life has always been Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn). The couple share two children together, but often have a lot of drama in their home life — such as Abby being diagnosed with a split personality disorder, per Soaps in Depth.
While the character of Abigail may have had a rollercoaster of drama in her life, it appears that Miller's love life and family life are much different than that of her on-screen alter-ego.

In addition to Miller's work as an actress on "Days of Our Lives," she also reportedly helps her husband with his organic farm-to-table business called KaleCart. Back in 2017, Matteson told Voyage LA that he and Miller moved to California from the midwest so that she could attend acting school — that's when he had the idea to start his organic food business. "My wife, Marci had always been drawn towards eating and cooking farm-to-table — and it looked economical, so we jumped in," he told the publication.
The couple officially launched the business in 2013 as a local bicycle delivery service. He said that the business eventually grew, and they began to profit from catering to offices and corporations. The pair also hosted pop-up diners, and eventually launched what they called The Sexy Lunch Club, where they delivered healthy plant-based lunches on a weekly basis.
