In 2011 Chloe's young daughter Delia was diagnosed with Leukemia. Her father Billy Abbott (then played by Billy Miller) turned out to be a bone marrow match, but was being kept in hiding by Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) at the time (via Soap Central). Billy and Victor convinced Kevin to pretend he was the donor, which led to extreme gratitude from Chloe and extreme guilt from Kevin. After Delia went into remission Kevin revealed the truth to Chloe, and though she was upset, they were able to reconcile and became engaged.

On the day of the wedding, Christmas Eve 2011, Kevin was forced out of town with Angelina Veneziano (Diana DeGarmo). Kevin promised mobster Angelo Veneziano (Mike Star) that he would keep his daughter Angelina away from her dangerous ex Carmine Basco (Marco Dapper) in exchange for the deed to his and Chloe's dream home (via Soaps In Depth). Unfortunately, an enraged Carmine tracked them down and, in the midst of a shootout, Angelina convinced Kevin he had to run away with her in order to protect Chloe from Carmine.

While on the run, Angelina admitted to Kevin that she faked the whole situation in order to spend time with him, but it was too late — he and Angelina were forced to get married so he wouldn't be killed by Angelo's men. When they returned to Genoa City, Angelina annulled their marriage, and she and Kevin's friend Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) worked together to reunite Chloe and Kevin. After Chloe learned the truth about what happened, she took Kevin back and the two finally married in March 2012.
