Fans know Jeffrey Morgan from The Walking Dead, and Hilarie Burton from One Tree Hill, and independently from one another, they're both incredible actors and by all accounts, are really great people. Together, they are an infectious dose of true love that is intoxicating in the best imaginable way.
Completely defying the odds of most Hollywood marriages, Jeffrey and Hilarie have maintained an incredibly close bond with one another and have truly proven that they have what it takes to break free of the Hollywood divorce curse. Sources reveal that they're raising their son and daughter in the most picturesque surroundings and are spending time together, enjoying the family bonding that their lifestyle offers them.
8 It Was Love At First Sight
Jeffrey and Hilarie were introduced by one another by Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles, and the best part - they were set up on a blind date! While there must have been some sort of inkling that they'd hit it off, nobody suspected they'd wind up wildly in love with one another and become happily married with two gorgeous kids. Luck was on their side, and Jeffrey and Hilarie definitely have to thank their friends for getting this right. Had it not been for their impromptu meddling, who knows where these two would have ended up.
7 Moving In Together Was A Breeze
Hilarie has publicly expressed her shock and dismay at just how fluidly she was able to go from meeting Jeffrey to living with him on a full time basis. She describes herself as being the type of person who has had her life planned out, and she had imagined the path her life would be follow would be on par with the one she crafted and carefully planned out. That ended up being the furthest thing from the truth, and she couldn't be happier with the end result. Moving in with Jeffrey was an absolute breeze, and they meshed with one another perfectly, in spite of not knowing one another very well.
6 They Love Living On A Farm
Just a few months into their relationship, dating one another quickly led to a surprise pregnancy, and Jeffrey and Hilarie decided they would move to a cabin, which was followed by a move to their farm, shortly afterwards. They currently reside on their 100 acre farmland in New York's Hudson Valley. They live on a working farm, which means they do all the hard work that is involved in raising their animals and taking care of all their needs. They love the hard work and have truly flourished as a family, by living amid nature and truly being part of cultivating the very land they live on.
