One Tree Hill's James Lafferty and Wife Alexandra Park Welcome 1st Baby
One Tree Hill star James Lafferty and his wife Alexandra Park have welcomed their first baby together.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, April 17, Lafferty, 40, and Park, 36, announced the arrival via a joint post.
"Love has new meaning. River Jay Lafferty – 12/4/2025," they captioned the post, which featured a black-and-white image of the newborn's hands grasping his parents' hands.
Lafferty first met the Australian actress in 2015 when he was directing an episode of The Royals, which she starred in as Princess Eleanor from 2015 to 2018.
Us confirmed in May 2022 that Lafferty and Park said "I do" in Oahu, Hawaii, surrounded by family and friends, including OTH alum Stephen Colletti and Park's former Royals costars Tom Austen and Merritt Patterson.
After meeting on set, the couple later continued their working relationship by creating and starring in their own series, Everyone Is Doing Great. In the comedy, they play married couple Jeremy and Andrea Davis.
"James and I met working together. That's one of the things we love about our relationship together is that we are both so passionate about what we do and we actually met on The Royals where James was directing me back in season two so yeah it's really not that strange [to play fictional love interests]," Park told Who magazine in August 2021.
Lafferty shared a similar sentiment in June 2023, exclusively telling Us Weeklythat while "it's been tough and challenging" to juggle work and their marriage, working side-by-side has also had its benefits.
"The first year of our marriage has been crazy because we've been working on season two of EDG," Lafferty told Us. "It's been a wild ride."
He added, "This is sort of where we thrive. This is how we get closer when we both do what we love together."
In February 2024, Park gushed over her husband to E! News and admitted she felt fortunate to have him in her life.
"We've been together for such a long time-we're on our ninth year of being together now - so James took his time proposing," Park joked to the outlet, adding of her marriage, "I don't know if it surprised me, but it's better. I feel like it was just the right thing for us to lock it down - because we're best friends."
Park continued, "I mean, every day is a surprise with James. We're just really lucky to have each other."
