Alexandra Breckenridge is relatively private about her personal life, but from what she has shared, It's incredibly idyllic! 

The Virgin River star - who plays Mel Monroe on the long-running show - lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her musician husband Casey Hooper and their two young children, Jack, six, and Billie, five. 

Most recently, Alexandra shared a rare glimpse inside their beautiful country home on social media via a cooking video.

The actress and her husband made a refreshing choice, shunning LA life to raise their young children away from Tinseltown.

Their son Jack was born in 2016, followed by daughter Billie in 2017. On motherhood and how her priorities changed since welcoming her children, the star previously told Us Weekly in 2017: "When you have children. It just changes what's important to you. Trying to find time to keep up with my hair or nails, they take me away from Jack. So I tend to put those things off."
