Candice King and Steven Krueger are married. The two actors officially revealed they eloped at The Chapel at High Point Farm near Nashville, Tennessee, in February 2026. They originally planned a massive, 200-guest wedding for the fall of 2026. They scrapped the entire event for an immediate, 15-person gathering instead. The catalyst for the sudden change was simple. King is expecting a child in May 2026.
The news broke over the weekend of April 4. King and Krueger gave the official confirmation of their union and the pregnancy. They celebrated the small ceremony with a reception at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse. Fans immediately reacted to the ultimate television crossover, according to a detailed report published on Saturday.
The two actors worked in the exact same television franchise for years. They both filmed in Atlanta for the CW’s supernatural lineup. They never actually met on set. Their first formal meeting happened at a series cast reunion dinner in 2023. The sudden news sent shockwaves across the entertainment community online. They got engaged in April 2025. Krueger called their eventual connection “invisible string theory at its finest.”

The Maternity Bridal Wear Deficit
The surprise wedding exposed a very specific gap in the bridal fashion market. King went on the record about the severe lack of maternity wedding dresses available to consumers. She ultimately abandoned off-the-rack options. King pivoted to a custom-fit crepe gown designed by Grace Loves Lace. She explicitly stated she wanted to avoid looking like the “Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.”
The couple’s decision also highlights a growing celebrity paradigm. Massive, high-stress blowout weddings are being abandoned for hyper-intimate micro-weddings. A 200-person logistical operation was instantly traded for a 15-person room. Fans across Reddit and social platforms reacted strongly to the shift, praising the couple for dodging the traditional Hollywood spectacle.
