Tom Welling has had quite the on-screen career! From his time being a 2000s teen heartthrob, to landing the lead role on the hit CW series, Smallville.
The star found success on the big screen, appearing in films such as Cheaper By The Dozen, and The Choice, to name a couple, however, nothing compares to his 10 season run playing the role of none other than Clark Kent.
In addition to his success in the industry, Tom has also found success in his personal life! Following his divorce from ex-wife, Jamie White, Tom married Jessica Rose Lee, sparking fans to wonder just how the two met!
How Did Tom & Jessica Meet?
Tom Welling and Jessica Rose Lee are obviously the perfect match! The couple sparked a lot of talk when they secretly revealed their engagement back in 2018, leaving fans stunned over the news.
Considering they had kept the greater good of their romance completely private from the public, it came as a shock when Tom and Jessica revealed they were officially engaged. The two started dating back in 2013 following Tom's split from his ex-wife, Jamie White.
Jamie was the instigator of their divorce. She served Tom divorce papers, citing "irreconcilable differences." Those this wording can really mean anything, it typically refers to a falling out of love or differing views on an important matter.
Though Jamie served Tom divorce papers in late 2013, the two had actually been separated for nearly a year. Jamie and Tom had filed for a legal separation back in December 2012. Clearly the two had been having serious problems for quite some time, and it was time to move on.
Tom and Jamie had been married for ten years when they chose to go different ways. They did not share any children during their marriage. Jamie was given a rather large chunk of Tom's net worth when their divorce was finalized in 2015.
Tom certainly did not give up on love. Despite his failed 10-year marriage, he was quick to search for love again. He found it almost immediately with Jessica, but they kept a lot of their early relationship private since he was still going through the legal aspect of his divorce from Jamie.
Jessica, who is heavily involved in equestrian and her lifestyle brand, met Tom through her passion for horses, which doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Welling is quite the cowboy himself.
While Tom was, in fact, in the middle of a divorce, the duo didn't make their relationship too well known, keeping details surrounding when and where they met a secret!
Before making her way over to being a businesswoman, Jessica used to work as an assistant ride for private stables, proving that her love for horses truly is real. After nearly 5 years of dating, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram, adding in the hashtag "fiancé" in the post.
Fans were head over heels excited for the happy couple, although a few were sad that Tom Welling would officially be taken off the market. Welling is certainly considered a heartthrob, especially during his younger days playing Clark Kent on Smallville, and many fans would have preferred him to stay single just a little while longer.
Jessica later shared a photo of the two following their engagement, finally confirming the news to be true. “To my perfect fiancé- I love you to infinity and beyond. Thank you for all of your unwavering support and super-human love. I am so blessed to have you in my life," she wrote.
Prior to their wedding, the couple welcomed their first child together, Thomas Wylde Welling, back on January 5, 2019. The couple chose not to rush into their marriage simply because Jessica was pregnant. Being engaged was enough for them, as they preferred have a relaxed pregnancy as opposed to trying to plan the wedding with a baby on the way. They instead chose to wait and enjoy being new parents for several months.
Of course the two went forward with their wedding a short while later. The couple eventually tied the knot on November 30, 2019, in a cowboy-style wedding at Sunstone Vineyards & Winery in Santa Ynez, California. In addition to their dreamy wedding, the couple does just about everything together.
From raising their family to traveling across the world, it is clear that Tom Welling definitely found his forever partner and vice versa!
Well, it appears as if it was time to expand the family yet again as Tom and Jessica welcomed their second child together in 2021. The Smallville actor and wife, Jessica, shared a photo of their newest addition, Rocklin Von to their fans and followers, revealing that they feel nothing but "pure joy."
It is unclear if Tom and Jessica plan on having more children in the future, but they are certainly loving being parents to their two children now.
