Joseph Morgan

Joseph Morgan & Persia White

Joseph Morgan and Persia White. Morgan and White got married in a beach ceremony in the romantic setting of Ocho Rios, Jamaica on July 5, 2014 in front of a small group of family and friends. This was especially fitting since they both grew up near the ocean.

 Of course, it all started here. The duo met on set in 2011 during the third season of The Vampire Diaries. Joseph Morgan was playing the role of Klaus, one of the original vampires, and Persia White portrayed Abby Bennett Wilson, a witch and the mother of central character Bonnie Bennett.

The two did not publicly confirm their romance for some time, but they definitely left some clues for the fans. They had been spotted by paparazzi and even walked the red carpet together at the 52nd Monte Carlo TV Festival in August 2012 to promote their short film. They remained coy during the promotional circuit, although they posed for photos and participated in interviews together.

 By 2014, the duo was more open about their relationship, not only confirming their status as a couple, but even flaunting their cuteness. Morgan tweeted “Happy New Year from @RealPersiaWhite and myself” with a photo of the pair ringing in the new year. Morgan wasn’t the only one showing social media support, White tweeted “Ahhhh!!! I can’t wait to watch THE ORIGINALS tonight! The best new show on TV. yeah I said it. @cworiginals #theoriginals #Klaus.”

 Morgan proposed to White in May 2014 just days before his own 33rd birthday. The couple released a joint statement saying, “We really appreciate those of you who have supported our wild, creative, passionate and unlikely relationship. We have found a rare and precious thing; true love. We wish you all the same.”
