1. Who Is Alexandra Breckenridge’s Husband?

The Walking Dead actress is currently married to a musician named Casey Hooper, who, believe it or not, is the lead guitarist for Katy Perry. NBD.

2. How Did The Couple Meet?

According to Atlanta magazine, Breckenridge first met Hooper at a Grammys after-party while they were pursuing their careers in California. And at the time, Hooper was touring around the world with Perry.

3. When Did They Tie The Knot?

Since the couple lead fairly private lives, the details of their engagement are unknown. However, they exchanged vows in 2015 in an intimate ceremony in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado.

After they got married, the two moved into a two-story home in Georgia, which, according to Breckenridge, was remodeled with the help of Hooper’s mom and interior designer, Rebecca Cartwright.

4. Do They Have Kids?

Breckenridge and Hooper welcomed their first baby, Jack, back in 2016. She told People, “When I first held my baby, the world melted away, and I knew he was the most important thing I’d ever do.”

The actress, who decided to do a water birth, added, “I had the benefit of being surrounded by experienced, loving women, while being overseen by medical staff, just in case. Luckily, everything went beautifully.”

Just one year later, the star welcomed her second child, a daughter, named Billie. She revealed to People, “Billie is such a sweet baby girl and Jack is such a social boy, with them only being 15 months apart they will always have a friend to play with.”

Jack and Billie, now 5 and 4, live quietly with their parents in their cozy Georgia home. While speaking with Atlanta about the move from L.A., Breckenridge said, “The rural areas of Georgia have an amazing sense of community we were lacking in L.A. We wanted our children to grow up in a place where they could play and ride their bikes that didn’t feel like a big city.”
