Love on the Beach: A Romantic Anniversary

Actress Danica McKellar, who stole our hearts as Winnie Cooper in "The Wonder Years," has a lot to celebrate when it comes to her marriage to husband Scott Sveslosky. The couple recently marked their 10-year wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Their love story continues to inspire fans worldwide.

“Exactly 10 years ago, we said, ‘I do!’ November 15, 2014, just before 6:30am, we held a small, sunrise ceremony on a secluded beach in Kauai – only 20 people, including us,” she reminisced alongside stunning photos from their special day. “I still remember the golden glow on your face as I walked down the aisle. Ten years has flown by, and I feel like the luckiest woman on the planet! Happy 10-year anniversary, my love!”

From Blind Date to Forever Love

It’s not just the anniversary that fans of the GAC Family star are celebrating. They’ve watched Danica and Scott’s love blossom over the years. The couple first met in 2013, thanks to a mutual friend who set them up on a blind date. Since then, they’ve been inseparable.

On October 16, Danica, now 49, posted a throwback photo on Instagram, marking the day she met Scott. “Exactly 11 years ago today, Oct 16, 2013, my life changed forever when I met Scott on a blind date, set up via mutual friends! We didn’t get a picture that day, but the first shot here is from Nov 2013,” she wrote. “And BTW, we pretty much instantly knew that day we’d found our forever. I still remember sitting down across from him and trying hard not to giggle – actually I couldn’t stop giggling at first – I was instantly smitten, staring at my future husband! Happy Anniversary of our first date, my love!”

Previous Marriage and Motherhood

Before tying the knot with Scott in 2014, Danica was married to her first husband, Mike Verta, from 2009 to 2013. Together, they share a son, Draco, who was born in September 2010. Despite the end of her first marriage, Danica cherishes the time she spent with Mike, as it brought her one of the greatest joys of her life—motherhood.

With Scott by her side, Danica continues to thrive as a mother to her son, Draco. She recently reflected on a memorable trip she took with him this summer. “It would be hard to express my gratitude for this mommy-son trip!!” she captioned a June 15 Instagram post. “My 13-year-old Draco is growing up to be such an extraordinary human, and I’m so grateful for him. We swam in the ocean, swam in the pool, snorkeled, ate Hawaiian food and swam some more!”

“We even swam with dolphins (will post those soon – total bucket list!! And… once a year, there’s an enormous fireworks display over the ocean at Waikiki Beach… which happened to land on one of the nights we were there! What an amazing and unexpected bonus!” she added.

“Our kids are a gift, and childhood is a short season… let’s enjoy and pour as much love into them as we can!” the post concluded.

Looking back on her journey, Danica expressed gratitude for both her past and present. “I got a great kid out of it. No regrets,” she told Fox News Digital in November 2023. “But my second marriage now with Scott — 10 years together — and he is everything I ever dreamed of.”
