The Truth About Melora Hardin And Gildart Jackson's Marriage
Sophia Bowman
According to People, actors Melora Hardin and Gildart Jackson first crossed paths at a wrap party for an unnamed movie. "That was kind of an office romance because sets are my office," quipped Hardin, who previously starred in "The Office." They married in 1997, per People, and subsequently welcomed two daughters, Rory and Piper, who, as HuffPost notes, are burgeoning actors themselves.
In fact, the foursome took part in "You," a 2009 movie not to be confused with the hit Netflix series "You" (which would be a highly inappropriate family project). As Jackson enthused, "Our kids will always have 'You' ... to watch, to show their friends as they grow up, to remember what it was like when our family set sail on the high seas."
Hardin directed, acted in, and produced the project, while Jackson wrote the screenplay, co-produced, and co-starred in it. In general, he acknowledged not acting quite as much as Hardin. However, Jackson sees it as a positive since, much like his "Bold Type" character, the British star gets to spend more time at home with the girls as a result. He added: "Actors get paid well so we are fortunate enough to be able to afford a nanny when we both need to be doing other things. Our lives as actors dovetail very well with our lives as parents."
