After just a year or so of relationship, they got engaged in October of 2009 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in front of their favourite painting, Joan of Arc, painted in 1879 by French realist Jules Bastien-Lepage, Genevieve's mom told to Sun Valley Magazine.

Plus, we both love the outdoors as well as winter sports, and figured it was the perfect time to gather everyone together,” she told Inside Weddings.

They've struggled raising their family together.

Because of the nature of their jobs, they're often traveling separately, which makes bonding as a unit with their kids tough. Gen opened up about it in a blog post saying: "Jared and I have been together for 11 years and married for nine. Throw 3 youngsters in the combine and a occupation that takes him to Canada most the yr, and conserving the romance alive can be exhausting."

She endured: "As dull because it sounds, we’ve found that the easiest way to reconnect is to agenda a date night time (or day) as often as imaginable. Our goal is weekly, but that happens just about by no means. I’m satisfied if we will be able to reconnect and do one thing a laugh in combination, just us, twice a month."

They're currently starring on 'Walker' together.
