Another source whispered to E! News that Busfield and Gilbert have known each other “for quite some time, as their paths have crossed off-and-on over the past 20 years.”

This is the third marriage for both newlyweds. Busfield has three children from prior relationships, whereas Gilbert’s a mom of two.
