While Alexandra Breckenridge is a Connecticut native, she spent much of her formative years in California. After marrying guitarist Casey Hooper and welcoming her two children, the "Virgin River" star and her husband decided they wanted something different for their family. "The rural areas of Georgia have an amazing sense of community we were lacking in L.A.," Breckenridge told Atlanta Magazine. "We wanted our children to grow up in a place where they could play and ride their bikes that didn't feel like a big city," she added.
Breckenridge came to Atlanta while she was working on "The Walking Dead," and it seems she may have fallen in love with the state of Georgia. She and Hooper found a two-story home in the suburbs of Atlanta, which they've renovated to make it perfect for their family of four. "The previous owners had a very different style from us, and the entire house was more traditional," Breckenridge told the outlet, while Hooper compared the house's original look to that of the McCallisters' house in the classic Christmas film "Home Alone."
In addition, Breckenridge and Hooper have also found Atlanta to be a great fit for them professionally, as the city has a booming entertainment industry that often allows them to work close to home.
