Jenny Garth, known to fans of the 90210 as Kelly Taylor, has a whirlwind romance with her husband, Dave Abrams.
Sparks flew for the two when they met on a blind double date in late 2014, and three months later Garth and Abrams got engaged. On July 11, 2015, the couple married in Los Olivos, Garth in Ranch, California, in front of friends and family.
The pair have been married for 10 years, but their relationship has endured a rough patch. Two years after their marriage, the couple separated for 10 months. Abrams filed for divorce in April 2018, but later rejected the petition in February 2019.

“Thank you to the stars above for our marriage,” Garth wrote in an Instagram homage to her husband, who is celebrating her eighth anniversary. “We love the way we’ve transformed us into a more patient, loving, and understanding person, not just with each other, but with everyone around us. You make me a better person.”
