If you’re one half of a couple, you’ll likely never forget where you met your other half. Whether it was at an event, or maybe a grocery store, a friend could have introduced you or it may have just been by chance, couples often have a story to tell — and we have a few to tell you surrounding some of your favorite soap stars.
There are certain duos that have stood out over the years, like James and Kassie DePaiva, and most fans know that they worked together for years on One Life to Live as Max and Blair. However, did you know that they actually met prior to that — but James didn’t remember? Oh, do we have a story for you…
Then there’s Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa… They fell in love while playing a couple on All My Children. And much like Pine Valley’s Mateo and Hayley, they tied the knot and have been married since 1996.
Or how about General Hospital’s Wes Ramsey and Laura Wright? They met on another soap way before playing Peter and Carly in Port Charles.

But there are others who fans may have no idea about, such as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Ronn Moss (ex-Ridge) and Hunter Tylo (ex-Taylor), Dax Griffin (ex-Shane) and Jennifer Gareis (Donna), Don Diamont (Bill) and The Young and the Restless’ Eileen Davidson (Ashley) and many more…
And of course, while some went on to marry and live happily ever after, others simply dated and/or made it down the aisle but have since called it quits. However, in the end, they too will always have their stories of having met on a soap.
So, we invite you to open up our gallery below filled with over 60 past and present couples who met while working on the same daytime drama — and we’ve even thrown in some primetime stars too.
