Katherine LaNasa’s marriage to Grant Show is back in view, and the date is fixed: August 18, 2012. The two have been married since then, a detail that matters now because LaNasa is in the conversation around The Pitt and the Emmys, and the path that led her to Show runs through a brief work meeting that later turned into a long relationship.
Show and LaNasa first crossed paths during the run of Big Love, where she played Beverly Ford from 2009 to 2011 and he played Michael Sainte. Their first meeting was short, but it was enough to leave a trace. Show later saved her in his phone as “Katherine Big Love,” a small label that makes the connection feel less like a casting-room coincidence and more like a running thread they returned to later.
That thread became a marriage on August 18, 2012, at Oak Grove at Ribbit Tree & Plant Nursery in Topanga, California. The date gives the relationship a clear anchor. It also puts LaNasa’s personal life beside a career that has already moved through Dennis Hopper, French Stewart and two earlier marriages, while Show continued a television run that included Ryan’s Hope, Melrose Place, Devious Maids and the Dynasty Reboot. For a couple in Hollywood, the facts are plain: they met at work, they came back together, and they stayed together.
The missing piece is the one they have not filled in publicly: how they reconnected after that first brief meeting on Big Love. What is known is what followed. In 2012, Show wrote about life with LaNasa and described how she made him feel bigger and freer, while praising how hard she works. That same year, they settled into a marriage that would later include one child, Eloise McCue Show, born in 2014, and a home life that LaNasa has described as grounded by her children and by her husband’s help.
For readers trying to place Show, the timeline helps. He rose on Ryan’s Hope in the mid-to-late 1980s, earned two Daytime Emmy nominations for that work, then became familiar to television audiences through Jake Hanson on Melrose Place from 1992 to 1997 and Blake Carrington on the Dynasty Reboot from 2017 to 2022. But the reason his name is back in the frame today is simpler than a résumé: he is the husband LaNasa thanked, and the man whose phone once filed her under a name that still fits.
