Are Virgin River's Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson dating?

With a show like Virgin River, it’s hard not to root for the relationships. The Netflix Original follows protagonist Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge), a nurse practitioner who abandons her life in Los Angeles after a tragedy and moves to the fictional town of Virgin River. In a small town where everyone knows each other’s business, Mel quickly falls for Jack (Martin Henderson), the charming guy who owns the bar. Now two seasons down and counting, the series does a great job at depicting the ups and downs of romance.

And fans will be happy to know that Virgin River season 3 is right around the corner. The next installment will premiere tomorrow, July 9, and is sure to be another emotional ride! What will happen for Jack and Mel next? We’ll have to wait and see.

In the meantime, let’s discuss the real-life romances of Virgin River stars Breckenridge and Henderson. Are the two actors dating like their characters are? Unfortunately for those shipping the pair in real life, they are not an item. But the good news is they each have romantic lives of their own and seem to be great friends in real life!

Here’s what we know about each actor’s relationship status.

The American Horror Story alum has been married to musician Casey Hooper since 2015. Hooper is Katy Perry’s lead guitarist, and according to Gossip Cop, he and Breckenridge met a Grammys after-party years ago. How cool, right?

The two got married in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado, and their wedding looks like it was absolutely gorgeous! You can see photos right here. Breckenridge and Hooper share two children together, a boy named Jack and a girl named Billie.

So how about Henderson? The New Zealand native is a bit more private about his dating life, not known to share many romantic shots to his social media as Breckenridge does. However, he did semi-recently go Instagram official with someone, according to Distractify. In 2020, he confirmed he was dating a woman named Aisha Mendez. However, the post has seemingly been deleted, so we can predict they might’ve broken up by now.

While looking at Mendez’s Instagram, the last photo she posted with Henderson is from December 2020. Her page is pretty active, so we’d assume she’d continue sharing shots with the actor if the two were still together.

But of course, this is all speculation. Henderson and Mendez could still be together and could just be keeping things low-key. For right now, we’re not 100% sure.

To see Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson heat up your screen as a fictional couple, make sure to tune in for Virgin River season 3, streaming only on Netflix on July 9.
