Only one woman has captured Maurice Benard‘s heart: his wife, Paula Benard. The General Hospital veteran married his longtime love on August 11, 1990, and he made sure to celebrate his 35th wedding anniversary with a loving note to his wife.

While Maurice has been the star of General Hospital as Sonny Corinthos for three decades, Paula has been by his side every step of the way. The Daytime Emmy winner is just in love with his wife as he was when they met, and he gushed about how grateful he is for her support.
