Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Cortese's Sweetest Moments
Supernatural gave Jared Padalecki a whole lot more than 15 years of steady work. The hit CW drama also introduced him to his wife, Genevieve Padalecki (neé Cortese).
The actors met on the set of the series in 2008 and went on to welcome three children: son Thomas, son Shepherd and daughter Odette.
Before the arrival of the couple’s first child, Jared gushed to Us Weekly about caring for Genevieve. “I’ve been trying to do everything I can to be the classic father: When she needs ice cream, I go get ice cream. If she needs a foot massage, I do the foot massage,” he explained in January 2012. “I’ve [been] doing everything I possibly can.”
He added: “Obviously I’ve been working, so I can’t be there all the time when she needs me, but I make sure she has what she needs when she needs it and when I get home at night.”
Years later, Genevieve got real about making time for their marriage. “Jared and I have been together for 11 years and married for nine. Throw three kids in the mix and a career that takes him to Canada most the year, and keeping the romance alive can be hard,” she wrote in an August 2019 blog post. “As boring as it sounds, we’ve found that the best way to reconnect is to schedule a date night (or day) as often as possible. Our goal is weekly, but that happens pretty much never. I’m happy if we can reconnect and do something fun together, just us, twice a month.”
Jared proved his affection for the actress only grows over time, paying tribute to her with a PDA-heavy Instagram post in January 2018. “To my sweet angel, my dh, and the love of my life (and the only person who’s allowed to smush my nose into my face whenever they want) @nowandgen, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” he raved. “I’m so grateful to be sharing this world and this life with you. There is no me if there is no you.”
After more than a decade together, the couple made their first appearance as husband and wife on another CW series: Walker. The idea was pitched to Jared and Genevieve during their 10-year anniversary dinner by the show’s creator, Anne Fricke. Jared proposed the idea to his wife and she was onboard, albeit apprehensive.
“I was concerned that people might actually think it was his idea or that they would have preconceived notions,” she told Us Weekly exclusively.

Jared, who has been open about his struggles with depression, made headlines in May 2015 when he canceled a convention appearance. “I am in desperate and urgent need of my family,” he tweeted at the time. “I am so sorry to tell you this but I must head home.” The actor later detailed the reason behind his hiatus. “I was 17 years old when I moved to Los Angeles, and I just kind of got into a habit. … Everything was like, work, work, work, work, do, do, do, do,” he told Us in June 2015. “And the last summer, my life has changed a lot. I have a wife. I have two sons, and so I really needed a chance to just unplug. And it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I’ll probably do it every year.” Courtesy Jared Padalecki/Instagram

Genevieve, in turn, showed her support for her husband with an Instagram post. “‘Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.’ – @brenebrown,” she shared in November 2019.

Jared and Genevieve celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in February 2020. “Ten years ago today, I was able to convince my best friend to marry me,” he gushed via Instagram. “I can’t even imagine what I must have done in a past life to deserve to be able [to] spend THIS one with this phenomenal women [sic]. I am the luckiest man alive. Love you baby. Here’s to 10 THOUSAND more.” The Flashforward alum shared an equally heartwarming post. “10 years ago today I said ‘I do,’” she wrote. “The snow started to fall and we sealed our fate. We’ve grown a million different ways and back over the last 10 years but we’ve always grown together. I’m so lucky it’s you. I’d do it all over again. Here’s to 100 more.” Courtesy Jared Padalecki/Instagram

I am so proud of this adventure and everything you gave to it.” Courtesy Genevieve Padalecki/Instagram
The actress shared cute throwbacks of “the first pics I ever took on the set of #Supernatural” with Jared while celebrating the show’s series finale. “It’s a bittersweet evening in our home. Tonight is the last new episode of SPN. Something that’s been with us (or at least my husband) for 15(!) years,” she wrote via Instagram. “It’s no secret that @jaredpadalecki and I fell in love on Supernatural.

Genevieve gave an inside look at what Thanksgiving looked like in the couple’s home amid the coronavirus pandemic. In the post’s caption, she even made a joke about Jared “walking outside with no shoes” on his feet. “Not traditional and not how we thought 2020 would go, but spending it with our kiddos doing their things,” she continued. “Whatever you’re doing I hope you are surrounded by love or loving on yourself. Be gentle and kind with yourselves.” Courtesy Genevieve Padalecki/Instagram

After more than 10 years together, Jared and Genevieve starred opposite one another as husband and wife for the first time on the CW's Walker. The idea came from the CW series' showrunner while Jared and Genevieve were out celebrating their anniversary — a detail that made it seem fated. "He was so enthusiastic about it and onboard and then proposed the question to me, it felt like such a great anniversary present in a weird way," she shared with Us exclusively. "It coincidentally came together in this perfect way that it just felt like a glove. It was just so cool." Rebecca Brenneman/The CW
Genevieve got real about how the couple balance their relationship with all the other demands in their lives. “It sounds so boring, but it’s all about just scheduling time,” she exclusively told Us. “That’s on multiple facets. From, ‘Hey, we’re going to take time the two of us just to be completely alone.’” She added that they rekindle their bond through date nights: “We just look in each other’s eyes and connect because even though we’re connecting on set or connecting at home, there’s constantly people around or we’re having to multitask.” Courtesy Jared Padalecki/Instagram
“Forever grateful that my best friends also happen to be my family. 🙏🏻,” the Gilmore Girls alum captioned multiple snaps with his wife. Courtesy Jared Padalecki/Instagram

I am the luckiest man on the planet. I couldn’t love you more.” Courtesy Jared Padalecki/Instagram
"To the best. You raise the dad bar ❤️," Genevieve gushed via Instagram in honor of Father's Day. Jared, for his part, replied in the comments section that he "couldn’t last an hour" without his wife by his side. Courtesy Genevieve Cortese/Instagram
"As a parent, you give your children everything … In return, they give you lice…. 😭🤦♂️ Hope y’all’s weekend is off to a better start than ours!!!" the San Antonio native captioned a photo of him and his wife with their hair being treated for the pests. Courtesy of Jared Padalecki/Instagram
"Marriage is the best and most amazing adventure in the world," Gen told Austin Lifestyle for their December cover story. "And like farming, there are some good seasons and not so great ones. Marriage takes a lot of love and nurturing. Throughout our lives we change and evolve into many different people. So, in a partnership, you're both constantly growing and it's impossible to always grow together, whether it's in parallel lines or intertwined at the same time. The best advice that's been helpful for me is to take time and try and understand where your partner is coming from, and before reacting to anything that maybe feel incendiary or frustrating, give it 24 hours."

The Towwn founder praised her husband while recalling a "difficult" time in her second pregnancy. "Not to get dark with things, my sister right now is doing great and kicking ass, and so we can laugh about it now, but she fell four stories off a building when I was pregnant with Shep," she said on the "Bathroom Chronicles" podcast. "I also learned a bit from Jared at the time because he's like, 'We've been here a month, I need to go back to Texas, I need to kind of see my family, I need to regroup.' Because we had been working nonstop then this happened." Genevieve continued: "So I actually ended up learning a lot from him, that it's okay to take a time out and that's not a selfish thing, that's actually an act of love and that really helped."
