Jen Lilley and Husband Jason Wayne

Jen Lilley and Husband Jason Wayne

Jen Lilley is starring in the Hallmark Christmas movie Mingle All The Way, where she plays a tech founder who’s horrified when her own dating app matches her with a man whom she’s had several disastrous encounters. The pair decide to stick together for their holiday engagements for appearances’ sake, and—wouldn’t you know it—start to realize they may have a real connection.

In real life, the 34-year-old actress has been married to her husband Jason Wayne for more than a decade. Here’s everything you need to know about their sweet love story.

They’ve been together for 14 years.

Jen and Jason met in 2004, and married three years later on May 26, 2007. During an interview with Parade earlier this year, Jen made it clear that the couple are as much in love as ever. Asked whether her husband ever gets jealous because of her numerous male co-stars, she replied: “No, my husband Jason is the sweetest, kindest, most secure man I know. Jason knows he’s had my heart for over 14 years, and it’s his forever.”

Jason and Jen devote much of their time to charity work.

The couple are heavily involved with Childhelp, a charity that provides support, mentoring, and education to victims of child abuse. In an interview with Aleteia last year, Jen spoke about her passion for the charity, which helps, “children who have been so abused and neglected that the government renders them [unable to be rehabilitated]. They’re at their last stop before they go into Juvenile Hall. And I’m talking Juvenile Hall at eight years old.” She added that after receiving the right support and therapy, “these kids go on to become teachers and senators and amazing people.”
