In a quiet but significant turn of events, Hallmark’s beloved star Janel Parrish and her husband, musician Chris Long, have reportedly split after a decade together. While the couple’s romance began in the mid‑2010s and culminated in a picturesque wedding on Oahu, the news of their separation has left fans and industry insiders alike wondering what this means for their personal lives and future projects.
Janel Parrish: From Teen TV to Hallmark’s Heartthrob
Janel Parrish first captured audiences as a teenage actress on shows like The O.C. and Heroes, before landing a breakout role as Maya St. John on the hit teen drama Zoey 101. Her talent and charisma quickly propelled her into the spotlight, and she later became a fan favorite on the mystery‑drama series Pretty Little Liars, where she played the enigmatic and manipulative Paige McDonald.
After her stint on the series, Parrish transitioned into the world of Hallmark, a move that has seen her star in a string of feel‑good holiday and romantic films. Some of her most notable Hallmark titles include Christmas on Duty, Return to Office, and the newly released Two For Tee. Her wholesome on‑screen presence and relatable charm have made her a staple in the network’s lineup, earning her a dedicated fan base that spans generations.
The Love Story of Janel Parrish and Chris Long
Janel and Chris first crossed paths in September 2016, and the spark between them quickly turned into a serious relationship. By the following year, the couple was engaged, and in 2018 they tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at the world‑famous Kualoa Ranch on Oahu, Hawaii. The venue, known for its lush landscapes and cinematic history, provided a perfect backdrop for the couple’s celebration of love.
Despite their public appearances together, the couple has kept their personal life relatively private. They have no children together, and both have maintained separate professional careers—Janel in acting and Chris as a musician and songwriter. The couple’s wedding was a low‑key affair, attended by close friends and family, and the couple’s social media posts from that time reflected a deep affection and commitment to one another.
