Surprise! Real-life Hallmark couple Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum, who both star on “When Calls The Heart,” revealed via social media on June 23, 2025, that they’ve tied the knot. The duo had not revealed publicly that they were engaged, so their nuptials are a huge surprise for Hearties.
Krakow tagged Rosenbaum in a post with two photos, including one of them kissing, with her wearing a beautiful wedding dress and long veil, and him in chocolate brown suit. Krakow simply captioned the post with an infinity symbol and added a piano instrumental of Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” in the background.
Within an hour, over 20,000 fans had already liked the couple’s post and many of their Hallmark friends and co-stars had left sweet comments for Krakow and Rosenbaum.
Fans & Friends Flood Erin Krakow & Ben Rosenbaum With Well Wishes
Krakow and Rosenbaum were flooded with well-wishes from friends and fans as soon as they posted the news of their surprise wedding.
Many of their Hallmark colleagues celebrated their union in the comment section, including WCTH co-star Kevin McGarry, who wrote, “Beautiful pictures, beautiful friends, beautiful husband and wife – xo”
McGarry’s wife, fellow WCTH star Kayla Wallace, wrote, “I’m still crying. My favourite pairing! 🧀 🍷”
Longtime WCTH actress Andrea Brooks also chimed in, “Spectacular ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
Some of Krakow’s past Hallmark rom-com co-stars also weighed in. Ryan McPartlin, who co-starred with her in 2015’s “Chance at Romance” in which their characters bonded over baking pot pies, hilariously wrote, “Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉 if you registered for Potpies, I’ve got them covered 😘 🥧”
Tyler Hynes, her co-star in 2021’s “It Was Always You,” commented, “Love n stuff ✨🤍✨”
Erin Krakow & Ben Rosenbaum Have Kept Their Romance Fairly Private
Krakow and Rosenbaum kept Hearties guessing about their relationship for a long time. They have both been on WCTH since it began in 2014, her playing series lead Elizabeth Thornton and him playing Mike Hickham.
They were long-rumored to be a couple, as they periodically post photos of fun trips and outings they’ve shared with dear friends McGarry and Wallace. Questions about their status increased after they adopted a rescue pup named Willoughby in January 2023.
But many Hearties didn’t consider them an official couple until Valentine’s Day 2024, when Krakow posted a photo of herself kissing Rosenbaum on the cheek and captioned it with an emoji of an anatomical heart.
On the same day, Rosenbaum posted a photo of his phone’s screensaver, featuring an image of Krakow snuggling with Willoughby.
“First thing I see when I wake up,” he wrote. “Last thing I see before sleep. Happy Valentines Day ❤️❤️”
