Alexandra Breckenridge may be best known for her on-screen roles, but off camera, she’s a devoted mom to two children.

The Virgin River and This Is Us actress shares son Jack and daughter Billie with her husband, musician Casey Hooper. The couple, who married in September 2015, welcomed their first child, Jack, in September 2016, followed by their daughter, Billie, in December 2017.

Breckenridge has often spoken about how deeply motherhood has shaped her life. Ahead of welcoming her second child, she reflected on the overwhelming love she felt after becoming a parent for the first time, noting that the bond she shared with her son only reassured her that her heart had more than enough room to grow when their daughter arrived.

Rather than raising their family in Los Angeles, where Breckenridge’s career frequently brings her, she and Hooper chose a quieter life in Georgia. The actress has shared that the move was driven by a desire for a stronger sense of community and a more relaxed environment for their children—one where they could enjoy outdoor play and a childhood that didn’t feel centered around city life.

Breckenridge has described her relationship with her children as deeply meaningful, calling the experience of raising Jack and Billie a beautiful chapter of her life.

Here’s everything to know about Alexandra Breckenridge’s kids, Jack and Billie.

Jack Breckenridge Hooper, 9

Alexandra Breckenridge and Casey Hooper welcomed their first child, son Jack Breckenridge Hooper, in September 2016.

The actress first shared the news of her pregnancy in April 2016 with a sweet Instagram post, posing in a fitted dress that highlighted her growing baby bump. In the caption, Breckenridge joked that her baby was ready to make an appearance and expressed excitement about the next chapter for her and Hooper.

Ahead of Jack’s arrival, Breckenridge was surrounded by love and support from family and friends. Instead of a traditional baby shower, she hosted a quilting gathering in June 2016, where each guest created a square that was later stitched together into a keepsake quilt for her son. At the time, the actress shared how meaningful it was to have the women closest to her come together to make something so personal.

Reflecting on Jack’s birth, Breckenridge later described the moment she first held him as life-changing, saying everything else seemed to fade away as she realized becoming his mother was the most important role she would ever have.

She has since opened up about the experience of giving birth, revealing that Jack arrived after just a few hours of labor. Breckenridge opted for an all-natural water birth in a hospital setting, and Jack made quite the entrance, weighing in at 9 pounds.

As a toddler, Jack was already full of energy. Breckenridge once joked that keeping up with him was no easy task, describing him as spirited and constantly on the move.

Years later, the actress shared that Jack experienced a serious health scare when he was very young—an ordeal that deeply affected her. Drawing on that emotional experience helped her connect to a major storyline on Virgin River, as she tapped into the fear and grief that comes with nearly losing a child.

Today, Breckenridge occasionally offers glimpses of Jack on social media. In a heartfelt National Sons Day post, she celebrated her firstborn, calling him the apple of her eye and reflecting on the many moments that make motherhood so meaningful.

Billie Breckenridge Hooper, 8

Breckenridge and Hooper’s daughter, Billie Breckenridge Hooper, was born on December 6, 2017.

The actress revealed she was expecting her second child in August 2017, less than a year after welcoming Jack. She shared the happy news on social media, expressing excitement about their growing family and the arrival of another baby that winter.

Breckenridge later revealed that she learned she was having a girl on her birthday—a moment she described as the perfect gift. She had hoped for a daughter and was thrilled when her doctor shared the news.

While pregnant with Billie, Breckenridge continued working on This Is Us, navigating filming with a growing baby bump. She explained that the production team relied on creative wardrobe choices, camera angles, and digital tricks to keep her pregnancy from being obvious on screen.

When it came time for Billie’s birth, Breckenridge chose a different approach than with her first child, opting for an epidural—an experience she later described as magical.

Just weeks after welcoming her daughter, Breckenridge celebrated a major career milestone when This Is Us won the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. She later shared a photo of herself at home with her newborn, calling Billie her “tiny princess.”

Looking back, Breckenridge admitted she hadn’t even realized she would be receiving the award that night. She recalled the surreal moment of accepting the honor shortly after giving birth, describing the experience as both shocking and unforgettable.

In recent interviews, Breckenridge has spoken lovingly about her bond with Billie, describing their relationship as a beautiful one and emphasizing how deeply motherhood continues to shape her life.
