Hope Valley is full of love triangles and complex love stories, but the cast of When Calls the Heart's real-life romances aren't quite as hard to keep track of. Erin Krakow, Chris McNally and Kevin McGarry are just some of the Hallmark Channel stars who have become family throughout the show's run, which began in 2014. During that time, the protagonist Elizabeth Thornton (Krakow) has found love more than once. Off screen, Krakow has been much quieter about her love life, but in June 2025, she wed WCTH costar Ben Rosenbaum.
