Let me tell you a story about Rena Sofer, the beloved actress from "General Hospital," and her second chance at love with Sanford Bookstaver. You know what they say—sometimes love finds its way back, even after life throws a few curves. Rena and Sanford’s love story is one of resilience, growth, and reconnection. After navigating some ups and downs, this couple decided to give their relationship another shot, and guess what? They tied the knot again! Now, that’s what I call a love story worth talking about.
Who Is the Man Behind Rena Sofer’s Heart?
Let’s dive into who Sanford Bookstaver is. He's not just any guy—he’s a talented director and producer with an impressive resume. His work includes shows like "The Chronicle," "Bones," "White Collar," and "Chicago Fire." Sanford and Rena first walked down the aisle in 2003, and during their first marriage, they welcomed their daughter Avalon into the world. But life, as we all know, isn’t always a smooth ride. They officially parted ways in 2017, but here’s the twist: love had other plans. At Rena’s 50th birthday party in 2018, the two reconnected, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Rena, who’s also a mom to daughter Rosabel from her previous marriage to Wally Kurth and stepdaughter Meghann, shared her thoughts on the idea of remarrying Sanford. She told Soap Opera Digest in March 2020, “There’s no rush. We already have a family. We already have a home. We have four dogs. We’ve been back together for about a year and a month. We sold our respective houses within a matter of months of being back together and moved into this new house, which will be a year in April, so it happened really fast. He asked me to marry him before we even moved into the new house. I said yes, of course.”

When it comes to planning their second wedding, Rena had a lot to say. “The first time we got married, it was a big wedding, and now we’re just trying to figure out how we want to do it again,” she explained. “I want it to be magical. We don’t really know what we want to do. We ask each other all the time: ‘What date do we want it to be? Do we want it to be the same date as our first wedding? Do we want to make it a new date?’ It’s a lot to consider. And let’s be real—if people ask me when I’m going to have a baby at 51 years old, I might just laugh it off!”

Fast forward to May 2024, and Rena took to Instagram to share the beautiful news about her remarriage to Sanford. Her post was filled with joy, gratitude, and all the feels. “This weekend on what would have been our 21st wedding anniversary, I got to Re-Marry my best friend @sbookstaver once again!” she wrote in her caption. “The journey we are about to begin is the most exciting adventure, in a new state and town, but most thrilling is that we get to do it together as husband and wife!”
She continued, “The three years we spent apart were humbling and heartbreaking but vital to us finding each other again. The love I have for you now is the foundation of my life. I can’t imagine another moment NOT walking through life with you hand in hand and our hearts entwined. You are the love of my life, and it’s not ‘oops we did it again’ but I’m so grateful we did it again!”
