According to the magazine, the two actors both starred in the same shows -- The Vampire Diaries and its spin-off, The Originals -- but never actually met on set. They finally crossed paths at the series’ reunion dinner in 2023, and the rest is happily ever after history.
“It was this instant mutual feeling of: ‘Hi, where the hell have you been,’” Krueger says about the pair’s initial meeting. “Invisible string theory at its finest.”

The couple said their “I do’s” at the Chapel at High Point Farm in Tennessee back in February, the outlet shares. Originally, however, they had planned for a fall wedding with 200 of their family and friends, but were forced to move their plans up when they found out King was expecting a baby.
“Shockingly, there’s not a huge market for wedding dresses that fit over a baby bump,” the actress jokes. “I was quite nervous to find a dress that would make me feel bridal and maternal — and not like the ‘Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’ from Ghostbusters bouncing down the aisle.”
King, 38, and Krueger, 36, are best known for their roles as Caroline Forbes and Josh Rosza on the CW’s supernatural shows. King is already a mom to two girls, Florence and Josephine, whom she shares with her ex-husband Joe King, guitarist for The Fray.
“We decided to have a small elopement-style weekend in Nashville with just our immediate families, and save the bigger celebration for sometime next year,” Krueger shares. "We had 15 people in total, including Candice’s daughters and my two nieces. And it was perfect.”
