The Instagram reel, captioned “Forever ❤️,” opened with a stunning shot of a diamond solitaire. After that, it started panning into a beautiful video of Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace holding hands, kissing, and slow dancing to Simon Martin Perkins’ rendition of the Beatles’ “In My Life.”
From On-Screen Actors to Real-Life Couple
Kevin McGarry began working with Kayla Wallace in 2019 on the set of the Hallmark series’ sixth season, When Calls the Heart, playing Nathan Grant and Fiona Miller, respectively. Though their characters weren’t romantically involved, their relationship blossomed off-camera.
A year later, in November, McGarry confirmed they were officially dating with “photo evidence” in polaroids. Then after a month, Wallace shared another glimpse of their relationship with a sweet heart-shaped photo of them hanging off the Christmas tree and a quote from “Elf.”

The two kept their relationship under wraps for most of 2021, except for a few moments like their dog walking adventures in the winter, a photo of them with friends with motorcycles in the background, their matching Instagram photo wearing “Anchorman” costumes for Wallace’s birthday celebration.
In 2022, the couple opened up their relationship to fans by sharing more candid and casual photos and videos of them together, just like their Valentine’s celebration, spring adventures, and Italian getaway with the When Calls the Heart cast.
Wallace also posted a picture of McGarry driving a speedboat. As she wished him a happy birthday, she lovingly described him as the “Sunshine of my life, the source of 99% of my laughter.”
McGarry returned the favor for Wallace’s birthday, uploading a goofy photo of the actress with the caption, “The trick to my treat. It’s like being in a loving caring, magical relationship with the house that gives full size chocolate bars! Happy Birthday Darling xx.”
Aside from Instagram photos, fans also got treated with two co-starring projects of the couple under Hallmark. McGarry and Wallace were cast as leads in the March movie “Feeling Butterflies,” playing single dad Garrett and butterfly farm owner Emily.
Then in July, the duo teamed up for “My Grown-Up Christmas List,” portraying Luke Malone and Taylor Nichols. Without a doubt, the sparks between their characters effectively electrified audiences (Of course, the thought that they’re a real-life couple added to the romantic value of the films!)

The couple ended 2022 on a very romantic note by announcing they finally got engaged! The couple dropped the news with an Instagram reel, which was as magical as their Hallmark movies.
Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum, the couple’s co-stars in When Calls the Heart, celebrated McGarry and Wallace’s engagement in New York. Krakow shared a photo of the four of them, with Wallace happily showing off her diamond ring.
As for the wedding date, the soon-to-be Kevin McGarry wife hasn’t said anything yet. Maybe we’ll hear from them soon. However, for now, we wait.
