The couple met in 1995 on the set of All My Children. Two years later, they married in Las Vegas. In a recent interview, she revealed that they actually split right before tying the knot.

“Right before we got married, we broke up. We broke up and we got back together the day before we went off and eloped,” she said on the “Comments by Celebs” podcast on July 10. “Yeah, we eloped. We went to Vegas and got married.”

Now together for 22 years, the couple share three kids: Michael, 21, Lola, 17, and Joaquin, 15.

Consuelos also told Us what his hopes are for Hiram in the upcoming season of Riverdale. “I love what they’ve done with Hiram, even though it’s definitely a dark character,” he said. “Maybe going full circle and losing some control and having to be humble and win people back … and then betray them again.”

Riverdale returns to The CW on Wednesday, October 10, at 8 p.m. ET.
