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.
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.

Kelley Wolf struggles to enter family home during live stream after Scott Wolf drops restraining order
Kelley Wolf ran into some trouble trying to get inside her family home — just two weeks after her estranged husband Scott Wolf dropped his restraining order against her. In an Instagram Live video Tuesday, the author — who is in the midst of a divorce from the 'Nancy Drew' actor — filmed herself trying to gain access to the Park City, Utah property with police present. Before getting out of her car, Kelley told her 76,000 followers on the platform that she was 'under the impression that I have done everything humanly possible to retrieve some basic items from my home.' 7 Kelley Wolf ran into some trouble trying to get inside her family home — just two weeks after her estranged husband Scott Wolf dropped his restraining order against her. kelleywolf/Instagram 'I'm currently about to meet up with a deputy of Summit County who's going to escort me into my home so I can get some money that I have saved,' she said in the video. 'I have just had enough… I'm sick of being treated like I'm crazy.' 'I have a sassy attitude, my God, but being called things like grandiose, bipolar, schizophrenic, crazy, being banned from places I've been forever is just rude, honestly,' she added. Kelley, who is no longer bound by an active restraining order that Scott was granted late last month, explained the situation to fans in the video. 'I have to now prove myself and did nothing except ask for a divorce,' she said while entering a security code at the front door. 'I'm sure y'all have seen this before, but wrong lady, because I don't back down.' After being unsuccessful, Kelley tried her luck at entering through the garage. 'My dad taught me [to] keep cash. You know, just keep cash. And since I now owe a lot of lovely people a lot of money back, I've never asked for $1 in my life,' she said. Once the garage door opened, Kelley was still unable to gain entry into the property. 'I just want to get a few things… I tried to do this as peacefully [possible],' she said. 'I've called you guys eight times in January saying I didn't feel safe, but [Scott] beat me to the punch. Apparently, I tried to file, but if somebody files before you, they can do a lot of weird stuff.' 7 In an Instagram Live video Tuesday, the author filmed herself trying to gain access to the Park City, Utah property with police present. kelleywolf/Instagram 7 After being unsuccessful, Kelley tried her luck at entering through the garage. kelleywolf/Instagram 'We're both famous, just that's the part that sucks…' she added. 'It's embarrassing.' Continuing to film her attempt, Kelley then tried forcing a window open while cops dialed Scott, who did not answer. Moments after sharing the clip on social media, her 16-year-old son Jackson rushed to the comments section. 'This is insane mom what are you doing,' he wrote. 7 Moments after Kelley shared the clip on social media, her 16-year-old son Jackson rushed to the comments section. kelleywolf/Instagram 7 Scott filed for a restraining order against his ex on June 24, and a judge signed off on the petition one day later. kelleywolf/Instagram The Summit County Sheriff's Office responded to a 'keep the peace' call earlier that day, with a deputy escorting Kelley around the home from 9:45 a.m. to 11:34 a.m., People reports. The Post has reached out to Scott's reps for comment. According to the estranged couple's strict new custody agreement, a judge ruled that Scott will maintain the exclusive use of his and Kelley's family home, as well as control of their marital funds. However, he must cover household expenses and temporarily provide Kelley with $10K per month for living costs, as well as her car payments, minimum credit card payments and a portion of her attorney fees.

He was granted temporary sole physical custody of Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11, Kelley was granted 'liberal' supervised visitation with the children. Kelley was also permitted supervised parenting time as coordinated by counsel and three supervised video or phone calls per week with Jackson, Miller and Lucy, per the July 15 agreement. Plus, Kelley is allowed to respond should her and Scott's children be the ones to initiate contact with her. As for the communication guidelines laid out in the estranged couple's agreement, neither the 'Everwood' actor nor Kelley can talk about adult issues, their divorce or their children's relationship with the other parent in front of or with the kids.

Here's why you should never name your baby one of these 3 common names, speech therapist says
Don't name them that. Millennial parents are using the '90s as inspiration for naming their newborns — which is fine, as long as they avoid three names in particular, according to a speech therapist. Chloe Conrad is a speech-language pathologist who often posts informative, helpful videos for parents on her Instagram page. In one of Conrad's recent posts, she shared three specific names parents should never consider naming their baby — and for good reason. 'Three names I would never name my child as a speech therapist: Rory, Rowan and Aurora. They're so hard to say,' the expert point-blank said in the video, which has garnered over 250,000 views. In the caption of the post, she provided some more context on her opinion: 'Basically any name with R and O in it next to each other. I LOVE the way they sound but struggle teaching a child to say them.' If you struggle pronouncing these challenging names — you're not alone. Many people in the comment section agreed with Conrad. 'My guess was Aurora before I ever heard it! Lol. I have the hardest time saying it! We had a little girl on our soccer team last season and even the parents yelling it sounded off to me! Lol.' 'lol I've always found Rory hard but I just realised I can't say Aurora at all.' 'So true lol all those Rs!' Conrad explained in an interview with why so many people struggle pronouncing these, rather simple-looking names. When there's a word or name that has a R before an O — most people struggle articulating these letters together. 'The W sound is made with rounded lips, and O is also a rounded vowel,' she told the outlet. 'So when you put the two together, it becomes increasingly difficult for a young child to produce clearly.' Thankfully, it seems that most parents are avoiding these tricky-to-pronounce names — and instead are opting for simpler names like Liam and Olivia. Liam has ranked No. 1 for boys' names eight consecutive years — while Olivia has taken the cake for girls' names for six years in a row. Aside from these two, old-fashioned baby names like Theodore, Oliver, Owen, Eleanor, Eloise and Margaret are back in style. 'I think vintage names evoke a sense of nostalgia. I get a lot of clients who pull out their family tree, looking to grandparents and great-grandparents for name inspiration,' Colleen Slagen, author of the forthcoming book 'Naming Bebe,' told Yahoo!

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dinner with singer Katy Perry in Montreal
MONTREAL -- Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry had dinner together in Montreal this week. A communications consultant for the restaurant Le Violon confirmed Tuesday that the former prime minister and the singer spent about two hours at the fine-dining spot Monday evening. Photos of the meetup published by TMZ sparked speculation of a budding romance. Samantha Jin said the pair kept to themselves and neither the staff nor other patrons approached them for a photo. 'We kind of got the vibe that they were a little more chill,' she said. Jin added that there was no indication of romance in the air, noting: 'No visual signs of PDA or anything.' The report about the dinner first appeared on TMZ, which posted video of Trudeau and Perry in animated conversation at the eatery. Perry recently split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom and is on tour with stops including Ottawa on Tuesday, Montreal on Wednesday, Quebec City on Friday, and two dates in Toronto next week. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire separated in 2023. During the meal, Jin said security watched from the bar as the pair noshed on a chef's menu featuring a range of appetizers including tuna, beef tartare, lobster and asparagus, with lamb as their main course. Jin said Chef Danny Smiles stopped by their table to say hello, and before heading out, they came into the kitchen to thank the team. A spokeswoman for Trudeau didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for Perry wasn't immediately available for comment. Trudeau announced his resignation earlier this year after nearly a decade in power. His father, late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was a bachelor when he became prime minister. He dated actresses Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall and married a 22-year-old woman while in office at age 51. Born and raised in California, Perry is a 13-time Grammy Award nominee. She helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream.' The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad.'
