‘Destination X’ Host Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Family Life

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is hosting a new kind of game-show, “Destination X,” which “involves players getting dropped off in a mystery country and trying to figure out which European city they’re in through a series of clues,” per Entertainment Weekly. The funniest part? Morgan didn’t originally want to host; he told the publication, “A lot of the credit probably should go to my wife. She sort of talked me into it when I told her what was going on that I had been offered this thing.”

If you’ve seen him swinging Lucille on “The Walking Dead” or hunting down evil in “Supernatural,” you know the man has charm. But off-screen? Turns out he’s just as swoon-worthy, living his best life with wife Hilarie Burton and their two kids. Yep, Negan’s got a soft side and we’re here for it.

From Blind Date to Soulmate Vibes

Let’s rewind to 2009, where it all began. Thanks to mutual friends Jensen and Danneel Ackles (yes, that Jensen), Jeffrey and Hilarie were set up on a blind date, and basically never looked back. The two hit it off immediately and welcomed their son, Augustus “Gus” Morgan, in 2010. And just when you thought this family couldn’t get cuter, their daughter George Virginia joined the crew in 2018.

Now here’s where it gets real: Hilarie has been refreshingly open about the struggles they faced with infertility. She’s talked about the losses, the heartbreak, and how George was their miracle after years of trying (People). It’s the kind of raw honesty that makes you respect them even more.

After nearly a decade of love, chaos, and parenting, the couple made it official in 2019. The wedding was low-key and intimate; just close friends, family, and (naturally) Jensen Ackles was their officiant. Iconic behavior, honestly.

Mischief Farm & Mini Morgans

Forget Hollywood mansions. Jeffrey and Hilarie have carved out their own version of paradise on a 100-acre working farm in Rhinebeck, New York, affectionately named Mischief Farm. Goats, chickens, donkeys… you name it, they probably have it there. It’s wholesome chaos, and the family seems to really love it. Hilarie even wrote a book all about it, called “The Rural Diaries,” and if you’ve ever wanted to quit city life and go full cozy-core vibes, this book is dangerous in the best way.

The kids are thriving in that grounded environment. Gus, now a teen, even cameoed as a walker on “The Walking Dead.” And George? She’s got main character energy for days, with Hilarie calling her their “spirited miracle girl.”

While they’ll make the occasional red carpet appearance, they mostly keep things low-key. Fame is the side hustle. Family? That’s the real star of the show.
