The Virgin River star gave a glimpse into his recent vacation on Instagram, divulging an unexpected detail.

Since 2019, Virgin River fans have been following the on-screen romance between Martin Henderson's Jack Sheridan and Alexandra Breckenridge's Melinda Monroe. As it often happens, viewers become deeply invested in the relationships of their beloved characters, which inevitably also extends to the actors who bring them to life - and Henderson is no exception.

Although the star has always kept a low profile when it comes to his personal life, he recently shared a surprising disclosure in a social media post that sent fans into a frenzy.

Martin Henderson recently embarked on a breathtaking road trip through the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Giving a glimpse of his journey, he posted a collection of captivating snapshots on Instagram. Among these photos was a breathtaking image of the actor atop the van, set against a stunning backdrop of mountains.

Accompanying the pictures was a caption where he responded to fans' curiosity regarding the sprinter van he drove to the mountains. Henderson revealed that the impressive vehicle hailed from Sandy Vans, expressing his astonishment at its exceptional performance and handling. But that was not the only thing he shared with his followers as he went on to casually mention: 'Made traveling with kids so much easier and fun.'

This disclosure stirred quite a response from some dedicated fans, who were left wondering whether they had missed a chapter or he had been hiding the existence of children. Intrigued, fans flocked to the comments section to voice their surprise.

Now, Henderson keeps his love life notoriously confidential but has been romantically linked to several well-known names throughout the years, including actresses Demi Moore, Marnette Patterson and Radha Mitchell. Additionally, he was in a long-term relationship with Mexican model Aisha Mendez, but the couple decided to part ways in 2021. It's worth mentioning that the actor has never been married and doesn't have any kids of his own.

So, naturally, fans who looked into his dating history were surprised to hear about the existence of kids. In an attempt to clarify the situation, one fan theorized that Henderson was likely on a road trip with his current girlfriend and her children. And according to numerous media outlets, that may be true.

Reportedly, the Virgin River actor is currently dating Penny Hay, an interior designer from New Zealand. However, there's limited information about this new relationship, with the only known details being her name and profession. It's rumored that the couple resides together on the scenic Great Barrier Island, adding an element of intrigue to their romantic connection.

Episodes 1-5 of Virgin River Season 5 will be available to stream on Netflix on the 7th of September.
