Chris McKenna, (Jack Brennan) on General Hospital (GH) just reminded ABC daytime soap fans why he’s so popular both on and off-screen. Read on for more details.
A Sweet Instagram Post
Many GH fans loved the post that Chris shared on Instagram on Sunday night, and it had nothing to do with any dramatic WSB scenes on the ABC show. His photo seemed so gorgeous, and it made viewers get that “aww” feeling because of the joy and love that it revealed.
Clearly an intimate moment, he and his wife, Lovisa Jansson, leaned across the dinner table with wine for a special occasion, and stared into each other’s eyes. In his caption, the real-life Jack Brennan wrote:
5 years married to this incredible woman whom I aspire to someday deserve.
‘GH’ Fans React
Naturally, General Hospital fans reacted to the adorable post by Chris McKenna. One follower told Chris and Lovisa Jansson, “Happy anniversary from an ice encased southern Ohio.”
Here are a few more sweet messages from their fans in the discussion that followed:
- Beautiful picture, you two make a beautiful couple. ❤️ Enjoy your Anniversary.
- Happy anniversary to both of you. You are beautiful couple.
- They are a beautiful couple, and we enjoy seeing them together.
- Happy wedding anniversary!
- One lucky woman. Happy Anniversary, you two!Happy 5th Anniversary, Chris and Lovisa!! May there be many more to come.
Of course, plenty of people simply posted red heart emojis.
Candid & Supported
It’s been a roller coaster ride for these two. Actually, they married in 2022 after a quiet pandemic elopement. In 2026, the spark still seems very much alive. How time flies!
On July 26, 2024, they blessed their world with the arrival of their son, Spencer J. McKenna. Notably, Chris McKenna seems very candid with his GH fans about how much being a dad changed his perspective.
Life Isn’t Always Roses
Actually, his comeback to the daytime scene in 2025 was mostly a family decision. After all, for a new dad, working close to home seemed very important. Still, it hasn’t all been glitz and glam.
In December, Chris shared a very personal moment with his fans. While speaking with ABC veteran, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), he revealed a bipolar disorder diagnosis after a manic psychotic episode.
Many fans came across as super-supportive. During their chat, Chris McKenna pointed to Lovisa as the foundation on which he built his recovery. So far, their marriage seems great through both the good times, and the low points.
The Most Important Role
McKenna isn’t a stranger to the world of soap operas. He was Joey Buchanan in One Life to Live. Then, GH fans remember him as Detective Mark Harding in The Young and the Restless. However, his role as a dad and husband is probably the one that means the most to him.
