The romances are red-hot (and drama-filled) on CBS' Fire Country.
Now in its third season, the fiery love triangle between Gabriela Perez (Stephanie Arcila), Diego Moreno (Rafael de la Fuente) and Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot) has finally been extinguished. However, a blaze of devastation has been left in its path — and it's unclear if Gabriela and Bode will ever be able to make things work.
Off-screen, the Fire Country cast's real-life romances are less complicated and far more similar to the relationship between Sharon Leone (Diane Farr) and her husband, Vince Leone (Billy Burke), on the show.
Thieriot and his wife, Lexi Murphy, have been together since they met on vacation as teenagers. Meanwhile, Kevin Alejandro wed his wife, Leslie Alejandro, more than two decades ago.
Here’s everything to know about the real-life partners of the Fire Country cast.

Max Thieriot, who plays Bode Donovan in Fire Country, has been married to his wife, Lexi Murphy, since 2013.
The pair were raised in Northern California but first met overseas while on vacation with their families in the Caribbean. They were 16 at the time.
"I'm not quite sure what she saw in me," Thieriot joked on The Talk in May 2024. "I was like, full skater bod and had some bleached blonde hair back then ... I don't know if she knew I was the one, but I knew she was the one."
They now share two sons: Beaux and Maximus.

Kevin Alejandro, who portrays Manny Perez in the firefighter drama series, wed director Leslie de Jesus Alejandro in 2004, and they went on to welcome one son, Kaden.
Leslie is best known for directing short films and music videos. However, in December 2024, she tried her hand at TV — directing season 3, episode 14 of Fire Country.
"I couldn’t have asked for a better first-time-directing-an-episodic experience," she wrote on Instagram. "So many people to thank. But it all couldn’t have happened without the endless support of my love @kevinmalejandro. I love you, My Baby."

Billy Burke portrays the happily married (and ruggedly handsome) Vince Leone on Fire Country, but in real life, the actor has kept mum about his personal life.
While Burke is rather shy about his TV heartthrob status, fans still show him a lot of love on social media. In a March 2024 TikTok video, he read a few fan messages where they gushed over him, calling him a "hunk" and "so sexy."
The Twilight alum was last known to be dating Cheyenne Carson. They walked the red carpet together during the 27th annual Dances With Films in Los Angeles in June 2024.
Burke was previously married to actress Pollyanna Rose, per the Los Angeles Times. The exes share a daughter named Bluesy Burke.
