Inside Kirsten Barlow's Love Story with Joe Lando

In the early 1990s, Kirsten worked as a server in a restaurant, and that was where she met her husband. He was the pizza chef; a job held onto before he became a famous actor.

They became friends, and their platonic relationship evolved into a romantic one. They began dating, and according to some reports, her then-boyfriend spoiled her with gifts, including buying her a brand-new Jaguar.

Not long after she started dating her husband, his career picked up, and they would appear on red carpets together. After years of dating, the couple moved to Arizona, where they married.

The couple's wedding on May 24, 1997, was a private affair with about 100 guests, including their family and close friends. Kirsten's wedding to the actor came under fire because her husband did not invite his "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" co-star Jane Seymour.

Her husband did not invite Seymour to their wedding because there was bad blood between them at the time. However, they did not let the backlash from fans ruin their big day.
