Casey Moss and True O'Brien: The Real Reason They Finally Got Married

Casey Moss and True O'Brien: The Real Reason They Finally Got Married

If you’ve spent any time in the corner of the internet dedicated to daytime television, you know that Casey Moss and True O'Brien aren't just another couple who met at the craft services table. They are the exception to every "showmance" rule in the book. While most soap opera flings fizzle out before the character’s next dramatic coma, these two did something almost unheard of in Hollywood. They stayed together for a literal decade before saying "I do."

It happened. Finally.

On May 25, 2025, the pair officially tied the knot in an intimate ceremony that felt less like a celebrity gala and more like a long-overdue celebration of a best friendship. Honestly, it's about time.

Why the Casey Moss and True O'Brien Wedding Was a Decade in the Making

Most people know them as JJ Deveraux and Paige Larson from Days of Our Lives. On-screen, their relationship was a beautiful disaster—JJ basically slept with Paige’s mom, Eve, which is a pretty solid way to ruin a first date. Off-screen? Things were a lot less scandalous but way more interesting.

They started dating back in 2015. True was just coming off a Daytime Emmy win, and Casey was the brooding newcomer with a music background. When True left the show after her character was murdered by the "Necktie Killer" (classic Salem), fans assumed the real-life romance would drift apart.

It didn't.

They did the work. They navigated the weird, unstable life of working actors in Los Angeles. They supported each other through career shifts and Casey’s musical ventures. When they got engaged in June 2022 on a cliffside in Malibu, it felt like the natural next step. But even then, they didn't rush to the altar.

The Low-Key 2025 Nuptials

The wedding took place over Memorial Day weekend in 2025. It wasn't some massive, over-the-top production at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Instead, they kept it exactly how they’ve lived their lives: quiet and focused on the people they actually care about.

  • Location: A beachfront setting (Morro Bay area), keeping things breezy and natural.
  • The Vibe: Small, intimate, and intentionally private.
  • The Look: True wore a stunning strapless gown with a lace corset bodice. Casey swapped the JJ Deveraux leather jacket for a classic black tuxedo.

They didn't sell the photos to a tabloid for a six-figure check. They just shared some raw, happy moments on Instagram Stories. It was refreshing. You've got to respect a couple that doesn't feel the need to perform for the cameras 24/7.

What Most People Get Wrong About Their Relationship

The biggest misconception is that they’re still "soap stars." While that's where they started, they've both grown way past the confines of Salem.

Casey has spent a lot of time focusing on his music and grittier acting roles, like in the film The Last Champion. True, who is famously the cousin of Hailee Steinfeld, has always been selective about her projects. Recently, the two even co-starred in a short film titled Bidet, which premiered in early 2025. Working together after all those years apart on-screen? That's a brave move for any couple.

When they announced their engagement, they both used a quote from Good Will Hunting about "imperfections." It was that bit where Robin Williams’ character explains that the "good stuff" in a relationship is the weird little quirks you only show each other.

"You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense; this girl you meet, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether you're perfect for each other."

That quote basically sums up why they work. They aren't trying to be the "perfect" Hollywood power couple. They’re just two people who found their person when they were barely in their 20s and had the sense to hold on.

Where Are They Now in 2026?

As of early 2026, life looks a bit different for the newlyweds. Casey recently made a splashy return to Days of Our Lives as JJ Deveraux, which had fans losing their minds. It was a "full circle" moment, especially since he returned to the canvas just as he was starting his new life as a married man.

True continues to balance modeling and acting, though she’s notoriously private. If you're looking for daily updates on their breakfast or what kind of detergent they use, you won't find it. They’ve mastered the art of being "famous-adjacent" without letting the industry rot their relationship.

Lessons from a 10-Year Engagement (Sorta)

What can we actually learn from them?

  1. Don't rush the "I do": They dated for seven years before the engagement and another three before the wedding. In a world of 72-day marriages, that's a superpower.
  2. Keep the circle small: Their wedding guest list was filled with family and a few close DOOL co-stars, not 500 "influencers" they met once at a party.
  3. Work together, but stay independent: They’ve supported each other's solo careers while finding small ways to collaborate, like their recent short film.

If you want to keep up with what Casey Moss and True O'Brien are doing next, your best bet is to follow their official social media channels, but don't expect a constant stream of content. They prefer to let the work—and their marriage—speak for itself. Keep an eye out for Casey’s upcoming musical releases, as he’s been hinting at new studio time throughout late 2025 and early 2026.

Next Steps for Fans:
To see the latest career moves from the couple, check out Casey's return episodes on Peacock or look for Bidet on the festival circuit. If you’re a long-time "J&P" shipper, re-watching their early 2014 scenes is a great way to see where the chemistry actually started. Just maybe skip the scenes where JJ hangs out with Paige's mom. Trust me on that one.
