Erin Krakow, Ben Rosenbaum wedding: A real life 'When Calls the Heart' romance
The "When Calls the Heart" star shared a post to Instagram June 23, revealing she and fellow Hallmark actor Ben Rosenbaum had tied the knot.
The joint post, captioned simply with an infinity sign, shows the pair in a series of photos, first sharing a kiss, with Krakow's engagement ring in the foreground, then side by side on a green lawn in their wedding attire.
Rosenbaum, who stars alongside Krakow in the popular Hallmark series, wears a chocolate brown suit, paired with a crisp white dress shirt with loafers.
We went to Hallmark's first Christmas Experience. What the movie brought to life was like
Krakow is a vision in white, sporting a lengthy lace-trimmed veil and a modest silk gown with short sleeves.
Fellow Hallmark stars flocked to the comment section to offer congratulations. Pascale Hutton wrote: "Love you both with all my heart," while Kenneth Wingard wrote: "AMAZING!! Congratulations to you two!"
Rosenbaum plays recurring character Mike Hickam on "When Calls the Heart," while Krakow portrays the protagonist, Elizabeth Thatcher, a young schoolteacher adjusting from her upper-crust circle to life in a western Canadian coal town.
A Hallmark favorite, the show has been running for 12 seasons, and once starred Lori Loughlin, who has since exited following a pay-to-play college admissions scandal that looped in several other celebrities.
Krakow and Rosenbaum first confirmed their romance on Instagram in February of 2024, posting a loved-up Valentine's Day carousel.
The pair are not the only "When Calls the Heart" stars to take their chemistry off-screen; Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace, who play Nathan Grant and Fiona Miller, respectively, confirmed last year that they had tied the knot.

Who Needs a Labubu When You Could Have a Fried Chicken Bag Charm?
is the commerce writer at Eater, and an award-winning writer with bylines in GQ, VICE, The Daily Beast, and other publications. A curious home cook with a deep love of Polish cabbage rolls, her devotion to food service journalism knows no bounds. As lovers of all things food-related, the Eater shopping team is understandably passionate about paying sartorial homage to our love of filthy vodka martinis, mall pretzels, and Aperol spritzes. There's a special sense of camaraderie in the air when a fellow pickle-lover is spotted in the wild courtesy of a realistic pickle keychain; our love of food can feel so personal that it's a bit like spotting someone on vacation in a T-shirt of your favorite local band. When it comes to food-themed style moments, there's the bold (a radicchio-print dress) but also the more understated (a martini cell phone chain). The current accessory du jour: bag charms, which have taken off amid the popularity of 'Birkinifying' bags — named for Jane Birkin's practice of adorning her Hermès bag with scarves, tags, and keychains — and in the context of a larger consumer shift towards quirky accessories. In an interview with the New York Times about the trend, Marissa Galante Frank, Bloomingdale's fashion director for accessories and beauty, said that she noticed shoppers 'craving a way to show their personal style,' and that charms are 'a way to make a more serious handbag feel unique.' So it only makes sense that we, as food lovers, would want to deck out our bags with unique food-themed charms and keychains. There's the classic hot-sauce-as-keychain bit, which truly never gets old — check out this interchangeable sauce keychain flight from Tabasco — as well as newer bag swag splendors, like the Instagram-viral Loewe tomato bag charm: Fashion and lifestyle brands have become increasingly smitten with food-themed apparel and accessories recently, and the exploding popularity of bag charms has yielded a treasure trove of options for every kind of food freak and every budget. Thankfully, you don't have to spend $650 at a luxury Spanish fashion house to bring home a tasty food- or drink-themed bag charm or keychain, and your devoted Eater shopping team (hi) has trawled the internet to bring you the coolest bag charms for making your farmers market tote turn heads at the berry stands. Let's accessorize — and maybe make those Labubus a little jealous. This homage to Diet Coke The Japanese-inspired brand Smoko makes all kinds of cute food-themed home goods that are worthy of your next White Elephant party (see: this ambient dumpling light), including this metallic diet soda bag charm. For the lover of martinis and tapas Prove your martini fealty with a string of Castelvetrano olives as a keychain, or go for Michael Kors' metallic gold and silver martini bag charm. This designer banana is 60% off This Italian-made banana is admittedly a splurge, but it's one that will always stay ripe. Plus, it comes with the option of either a lobster clasp or a keychain. This tiny orange bag charm can hold your loose change Things that this delightful five inch-wide orange bag charm can also hold: mints, lip balm, condoms, magic beans — the options are endless. Auntie Anne's has entered the chat In addition to both the lobster clasp and keychain, this faux pretzel is made out of brass, which means it can handle all of the brouhaha of big city life (i.e. clanging against subway poles, your crush's drink spilling). Fasten a bundle of fruit to your farmers market tote Take your pick of these miniature avocados, oranges, lemons, potatoes, or peppers in recycled produce bags. You're partial to ketchup on your chicken nuggets, fries, and fried chicken I had a dream last night that every one of these was fastened to Jane Birkin's Birkin. Fendi's deliciously detailed leather bag charms Somewhere, there is a timeline in which I dip my fries into Kewpie mayonnaise on a yacht off the coast of Mallorca, whilst paying close attention not to stain my truly artisanal, $1,000 leather bag charms from Fendi. You save all of your ketchup packets In the poetic words of Moda Opernadi, it's 'a sachet of sauce, made from glossy red capra leather' complete with a tear marker. Details, my friend. It's always an Aperol spritz summer The beauty's in the details of the sparkling bag charm, which has different crystals and beads to bring dimension to its design. This elegant egg Next stop? Finding you a rhinestone garlic tank top.

Ethan Slater debuts his 'Wicked' Lego figure, teases 'epic' sequel at Comic-Con
SAN DIEGO – "Wicked" star Ethan Slater didn't need Lego sets filled with witches, princes, woodsmen and yellow brick roads. When he was a kid, it was all about the unmarked trunk overflowing with bricks of all colors. But as an adult getting to play with his own Lego minifigure, Slater is pretty wowed. The 33-year-old Tony-nominated actor, who played Boq Woodsman in the Oscar-nominated first "Wicked," was on hand at the pop-culture festival Comic-Con, held at the San Diego Convention Center, to debut a bunch of new Lego sets inspired by the upcoming sequel "Wicked: For Good" (in theaters Nov. 21). Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Taking a peek at all the sets for the first time, Slater unsurprisingly spends the most time with the set featuring Boq and his Munchkinland home alongside toy versions of Elphaba (played in the movie by Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande). He notes that Boq's gray wardrobe is new for fans in the next movie, and points out the "Beware of the Wicked Witch" sign, part of the Wizard of Oz's propaganda against Elphaba on the side of the Lego building. "Elphaba's one of Boq's only friends, and on the side of his house is the smear campaign against her. Terrible," Slater says. As for the new movie coming soon, Slater teases an "epic conclusion" where "it's everything coming to a head." All the characters, from Elphaba and Glinda to Boq and Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), "have made these huge decisions at the very end of the first movie. How do they live with or transcend the consequences of those decisions?" Slater says. "So what we're going to see is all of these characters a little bit older. We already know them so well that to see how they grow in the second movie (creates) an even deeper connection to them." He gets a kick out of the "Wicked" wall art set, which features figures of Dorothy and her crew from "The Wizard of Oz," including Toto. "The first role ever was when I was 4 years old, I played Toto to my sister's Dorothy," Slater says. "I'm going to pretend that Toto is also a mini fig of me. It's the cutest I've ever looked." He also has fun playing with a set including Glinda using a magnifying glass. "What is she looking for with this? What is she looking for here? Does it really work? This is so Detective Glinda. That's actually a spinoff coming soon," Slater quips. Back in the day, Slater avoided big themed Lego sets in favor of diving into his "huge bucket" of Legos and "taking the world that was in my head and trying to build a version of it," he says. Yet these new "Wicked" Legos do justice to the work of him and his co-stars. "The special thing about making 'Wicked' was being in this world and it was so intricately designed," Slater says. "The work in all of these Lego sets that make it just as intricate and lets you experience it and be creative with it, it's just a really beautiful thing. It feels really true to what we did."
