Alexandra Breckenridge’s Early Life
Alexandra Breckenridge was born on May 15, 1982, at the historic seaport city of Bridgeport in the U.S. state of Connecticut. During her childhood years, she relocated to various places, finally moving to Los Angeles. Shortly after her birth, her family shifted base from Bridgeport to Darien, where she resided until the age of 10. Only a year later, they decided to set up their home at Mill Valley, California. Breckenridge developed a deep love for the performing arts at an early age.
By the time she entered her teenage, she had found herself wholly inclined to act, photograph, and sing. The young girl dreamed of big things, and in order to fulfill those, she moved to Los Angeles to single-mindedly focus on her acting career. The niece of the famous American actor, producer, and director, Michael Weatherly, Breckenridge was steadfastly supported by her mother, who uprooted her own life to accompany her daughter to LA.
Before her ‘This Is Us’ stint, she began her career with guest appearances in NBC’s teen drama ‘Freaks and Geeks.’ Her performance was restricted to supporting roles for the first few years, for instance, in comedy and romantic movies like ‘Big Fat Liar’ and ‘She’s the Man.’ Breckenridge also appeared in shows like ‘American Horror Story’ and ‘The Walking Dead.’ By the time the skilled actress made a name for herself in the industry, she was also lucky enough to have found love.

Breckenridge knew Hooper long before she walked down the aisle for him as they had first met at a Grammys after-party.
At that point in time, he was in the process of concluding his world tour as the lead guitarist of the famous American singer. Luckily, he was living in California at the same time as his now-wife, and the town aided them to take their chance meeting to the next level. The details of their wedding are not of public knowledge, but guessing from the pictures frequently shared by Breckenridge, it can be assuredly assumed that the ceremony was as graceful and intimate as the bride herself.
