TheVirgin Riverstar married her husband, musician Casey Hooper, in September 2015 and the couple welcomed their first child together, son Jack, a year later. In December 2017, Breckenridge gave birth to their second child, daughter Billie.

For Breckenridge, becoming a mother unlocked a new type of love. In a November 2017 interview with PEOPLE, sheopened up about the joys of parenthoodand her thoughts on expanding their family with Billie’s arrival.

“When Jack was born, I experienced a kind of love I never had before,” she explained. “Some people say, ‘How could [you] possibly love two of them?’ but I’m not even worried about that. If I can love the first one this much, I’ll love the second one this much too!”

Rather than raising their children in Los Angeles, where Breckenridge’s career is based, the actress and her husband opted to live in Georgia. She opened up about their decision withAtlantamagazinein January 2019.

“The rural areas of Georgia have an amazing sense of community we were lacking in L.A," she said. “We wanted our children to grow up in a place where they could play and ride their bikes that didn’t feel like a big city."

Here’s everything to know about Alexandra Breckenridge’s kids: Jack and Billie.

Six years later, Breckenridge opened up about a health scare Jack had and how it helped her with a major plot line inseason 5 ofVirgin River. While preparing for her character to experience a miscarriage, she pulled on her own experience with Jack.

“One of my children was very, very sick when he was young and could have died so I have a personal connection and understanding of the emotional loss of a child,” she explained toDeadlinein November 2023. “When you’re a parent and you come so close to that edge of not having them anymore, I already experienced that in a different way, so I came into that scene reliving that experience.”

Apple of my eye. Tried to put together a video of this little child but there was just way too much good stuff.”
