How did Roselyn Sanchez meet her husband Eric Winter? When did they get married?

Winter and Sanchez met back in 2005 at a party in Los Angeles. At the time, the Without a Trace star had been divorced from her first husband Gary Stretch for three years, and the Days of Our Lives alum had split from his first wife, Allison Ford, a few months earlier.

Following the party, they began dating and two years later, Winter popped the question during a trip to Sanchez’s native Puerto Rico. Winter asked for her hand in marriage while they were kayaking in a bioluminescent bay and later admitted what he was “petrified” about after he asked her.

“[I] was petrified she would drop the ring,” he said per InStyle, adding, “It never left the box. She accepted; I shut the box and told her she could see it again on land.”

In 2008, WInter and Sanchez said “I do” at the San Cristobal fort in Old San Juan. Around 250 guests attended the affair including other celebrities like Eva Longoria.
