Meet the Real-Life Partners of the Fire Country Cast (Including Two Couples Who’ve Worked Together on the Show!)
The cast of Fire Country may deal with fiery love triangles and intense drama on-screen, but off-screen, their real-life romances are far more stable — and some even intertwine with their professional lives.
As the third season continues, the relationship between Gabriela Perez (Stephanie Arcila), Diego Moreno (Rafael de la Fuente), and Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot) may have burned out, but the Fire Country cast’s real-life love stories are less complicated and full of lasting affection.
Here’s everything you need to know about the romantic lives of the Fire Country stars:
Max Thieriot and Lexi Murphy

Max Thieriot, who plays Bode Donovan, has been married to Lexi Murphy since 2013. They first met at 16 while on vacation with their families in the Caribbean, and despite Thieriot’s teenage “skater bod,” he knew that Murphy was the one. The couple now shares two sons, Beaux and Maximus.
Kevin Alejandro and Leslie Alejandro
Kevin Alejandro, known for playing Manny Perez, wed director Leslie de Jesus Alejandro in 2004. Together, they have a son, Kaden. Leslie is known for directing short films and music videos, and she even directed an episode of Fire Country in season 3.
