Chris McNally has won over Hallmark fans with his portrayal of Lucas Bouchard on When Calls the Heart, but many viewers are just as curious about his life off-screen.
The answer is yes—Chris McNally is married to fellow Hallmark actress Julie Gonzalo. Although the couple has kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, they have quietly built a beautiful life together.
Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo’s Love Story

McNally and Gonzalo first met in 2017 while filming the Hallmark movie The Sweetest Heart. Their on-screen chemistry quickly turned into a real-life romance, and the couple later married in 2018. Despite both being public figures, they’ve chosen to keep their relationship remarkably private over the years.
They’re Now Parents of Two
The Hallmark couple welcomed their first daughter in June 2022 before announcing in late 2025 that they were expecting another child.
In June 2026, McNally and Gonzalo shared the joyful news that they had welcomed their second daughter, officially becoming a family of four. The couple described the early weeks with their newborn as a mix of love, sleepless nights, and adjusting to life with two children.

A Private Life Away From the Spotlight
Unlike many celebrity couples, Chris McNally and Julie Gonzalo rarely discuss their marriage publicly or share photos of their children. Instead, they’ve focused on protecting their family’s privacy while occasionally offering fans small glimpses into their lives.
That low-key approach has only made Hearties admire them even more.
Hallmark’s Growing Family

McNally isn’t the only When Calls the Heart star celebrating major life milestones. Several cast members have recently welcomed children, creating an exciting chapter for the Hallmark family both on and off the screen.

While he prefers to keep his personal life private, fans can rest assured that the actor has found happiness with Julie Gonzalo—and their growing family is another reason Hearties continue cheering them on.
