Chilli and Matthew Lawrence recently sat down to talk about their new Hallmark+ series, Second Chance Love, and the conversation was just as heartfelt as their love story. The couple opened up about what keeps their bond strong, even when it’s put to the test during something as playful as game night.
Matthew couldn’t help but gush about his admiration for Chilli, sharing that respect and calm are the foundation of their relationship. “We might disagree sometimes,” he revealed, “but we never yell. I’ve never raised my voice at her. It’s a mature love.”
Their new show, premiering on New Year’s Day 2026, reflects that same emotional depth. Second Chance Love brings ex-couples to the romantic backdrop of Italy to see if love can be rekindled, blending vulnerability, hope, and second chances in true Hallmark fashion.
Their own romance feels just as serendipitous. After briefly crossing paths at ’90s Con in 2022, fate intervened when a snowstorm delayed their flight, giving them the chance to really talk. That unexpected conversation led to staying in touch, reconnecting, and ultimately falling in love proof that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it.
