Double Scoop Star Ryan Mcpartlin'S Socal Love Story And Mini-Me Kids!

Ryan McPartlin Heats Up Hallmark with Double Scoop

LA’s own Ryan McPartlin is serving up some serious summer vibes in Hallmark Channel's latest romance flick, Double Scoop, airing August 23. Known to fans as Devon 'Captain Awesome' Woodcomb from NBC's Chuck, Ryan is stepping into the spotlight alongside the talented Taylor Cole in this sweet SoCal-inspired story.

In the movie, Taylor plays Nora, a go-getter chasing the best ice cream client in town, only to butt heads with Ryan’s character, James, who’s got the same tasty plan. It’s classic Hollywood meet-cute drama with a side of frozen dessert - perfect for those Malibu beach night watch parties!

Ryan’s no stranger to the screen, but before he was stealing scenes, this dude was a total jock. He played football at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, then strutted his stuff as an Abercrombie & Fitch model before landing gigs like a Titanic spoof on The Nanny with Fran Drescher, channeling a Leonardo DiCaprio vibe. Talk about a glow-up!

From College Sweethearts to Hollywood Power Couple

Off the red carpet, Ryan’s life is all about family, and it’s straight-up goals. He met his wife, Danielle Kirlin, back in their college days in the late ‘90s, and they’ve been rocking that Cali couple energy ever since. Danielle’s an actress too, with credits like Felicity and Centipede!, proving they’re a true Tinseltown duo.

They tied the knot on October 26, 2002, and soon welcomed two sons, Wyatt Duke, now 18, and Dylan James, who are basically Ryan’s mini-mes. This summer, the family celebrated Wyatt heading off to the University of Kansas, a bittersweet moment for these proud parents.

"Wyatt’s about to kick off the best four years of his life at KU, and we’re just soaking in every last Cali sunset with him before he goes," Danielle shared on Instagram.

Family First with a Side of Fitness

While Ryan keeps grinding in Hollywood with roles in Mad Men, Mystery Girls, and Bad Judge, Danielle shifted gears after motherhood. She co-founded Plate Therapy, a meal delivery service that’s all about that healthy LA lifestyle - think green smoothies and Venice Beach jogs.

Health is a big deal for this fam. Ryan often posts about their fitness journey, dropping gems like, 'The couple that lifts together...' on Instagram. Whether they’re hitting the gym or hiking Runyon Canyon, they’re all about staying fit and fabulous.

Oh, and they roll with some A-list pals too! Earlier this year, Ryan and Danielle celebrated at a baby shower for Chuck co-star Zachary Levi and his partner Maggie Keating. Ryan couldn’t help but reminisce about their 'glory days,' captioning a post with excitement for the 'awesome' baby on the way.

Celebrating Milestones and Keeping It Real

From beach vacays to big milestones, the McPartlin crew keeps it 100. Ryan’s heartfelt Instagram tribute to Wyatt’s college send-off had all the feels, thanking the 'village' that helped shape his son into the man he’s becoming. It’s the kind of family love that’s pure West Coast warmth.

As Double Scoop hits Hallmark tomorrow, August 23, we’re hyped to see Ryan bring that Captain Awesome charm back to our screens. But let’s be real - his biggest role is being a dad and husband, and he’s crushing it, LA style.

So, grab your fave fro-yo, channel some SoCal summer energy, and tune in to see Ryan and Taylor melt hearts. And who knows? Maybe we’ll spot Wyatt and Dylan cheering on their dad at a Hollywood premiere soon!
