Peter Facinelli’s ‘Wife’ Title: Love Over Paperwork
Peter Facinelli, the charming heartthrob known for his role in the “Twilight” saga, isn’t officially hitched to his fiancée Lily Anne Harrison, but that hasn’t stopped him from calling her his “wife.” During a recent chat at the premiere of his film “The Unbreakable Boy,” Facinelli made it clear that for them, marriage is more of a formality than a necessity right now. The couple has been engaged since a romantic getaway in Mazatlan, Mexico, five years ago, but between parenting their son Jack (born September 5, 2022), and navigating their busy lives, wedding planning has definitely taken a backseat.
Facinelli remarked, “I mean, right now, it feels like the wedding is more of a party than making anything official.” He’s focusing on living life as a couple, treating Harrison like his wife even without the paperwork. Clearly, the star’s priority is the present—as he shared, they’re just enjoying parenthood together rather than stressing over wedding details. Remember when everyone was put on pause during COVID? Yeah, Facinelli also cited that as a significant factor in their wedding delay. Like many couples, the pandemic threw a wrench in their plans, which is a sentiment echoed by countless soon-to-be-married pairs who have had to re-strategize their dream weddings.
Facinelli is set on making sure the big day reflects Harrison’s desires, conceding that he wants her to be happy above all. He has even expressed a desire for a beach wedding—because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to say “I do” with the ocean breeze in their hair? It’s sweet but adds a bit of pressure on Harrison—hopefully, she’s ready for the sandy weekender vibe!
In case you’re wondering, this isn’t Facinelli’s first journey through matrimony. He shares three daughters with his ex-wife Jennie Garth: Luca, 27; Lola, 22; and Fiona, 18. The couple’s amicable co-parenting is a refreshing take on post-divorce dynamics, especially in the realm of celebrity splits. Garth even sought shelter with Facinelli during recent Los Angeles fires, showcasing their evolved friendship.
So, will we see a wedding soon? Who knows! For now, Facinelli and Harrison seem content to soak up their little family while keeping the wedding bells on standby.
