Jared also told the story of how they got together, meeting on Supernatural when Genevieve had a recurring role on season 4 in 2008. He explained that their meeting was “really special and unexpected,” adding, “I thought she was cute and smart and she would always read books. It turned into hanging out, talking about traveling, and [then] turned into dinner.”

The couple have two sons, Thomas, 4, and Shepherd, 2.
