In Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia, Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey) is in the middle of a complicated love square — but in real life, she’s been married to Matt Ziering since 2021.
Season 3 of the comedy-drama series — which premiered on June 5 — picks up with Georgia’s post-wedding arrest. Now, everyone around her, including her new husband Mayor Paul Randolph (Scott Porter) and daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry), must decide if they’ve reached their breaking point with the charming Southern belle.
Paul and Ginny aren’t the only ones interested in this case — there’s also Joe (Raymond Ablack), who has been pining after the single mom for years, and her ex Zion (Nathan Mitchell), who’s also Ginny’s father.
In real life, the actors’ love lives are far less dramatic. Porter wed Kelsey Mayfield in 2013, while Ablack and Mitchell are both single.
Here’s everything to know about the real-life partners of the Ginny & Georgia cast.

Ziering, a lawyer, was celebrating taking the bar exam when he met Howey at a bar — and continued seeing her for days afterwards.
“We ran into each other three nights in a row at a couple bars in Los Angeles,” Howey recalled to Los Angeles Magazine in 2021.
Ziering added, “Wasn’t totally random, but we had some mutual friends and now we’re here!”
Howey and Ziering got married on July 24, 2021, in the garden of a family home in Palos Verdes, Calif. They ended the night with Son of a Gun fried chicken sandwiches and a Spice Girls dance party, she told PEOPLE.
They welcomed their first child, a daughter whose name they have yet to reveal, in June 2023.

However in May 2025, Gentry told PEOPLE that she can relate to her character’s dating life.
“I definitely had a crush on a Marcus-type in high school,” she said of her costar Felix Mallard’s character. “I was very much into the brooding sort of artist, skater dude.”

Porter, who plays kind and loyal Mayor Paul Randolph, has been married to Mayfield for more than a decade.
Porter and Mayfield wed in 2013. The couple’s dog, Truffle, served as the flower girl.
Since then, they’ve welcomed two children — son McCoy in 2015 and daughter Clover in 2017.
In May 2025, Porter told PEOPLE that the secret to their long-lasting marriage is their dedication to being true partners.
“She picks me up so often. I’m there for her when she needs me, and we always just check in with each other. ‘What’s your battery at? Are you at 50%? I can carry a little bit extra load today.’ She does the same thing for me,” he said.

While Ablack stays fairly private about his personal life, the actor has been vocal about Joe being the best man for Georgia.
