He met actress Melissa Reeves (then known as Melissa Brennan) when he played the role of Jake on Days of Our Lives. They became engaged on April 1, 1989 in Vancouver, where he was filming Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. He proposed to her at Stanley Park.[18]

After experiencing seizures in 1989, he sought medical help. He was diagnosed with an abscess on his brain, caused by sinusitis that had traveled to his forehead. Shortly before their wedding, he underwent surgery to have the abscess removed. They were married on March 23, 1990 at Lake Manor Chapel in Chatsworth, California. The Reeves' are Christians.[18] They have a daughter, born in 1992, and a son, born in 1997.[1]
