How did Billy Flynn meet his wife?
Flynn revealed on The Freddie & Alyssa Show that he met his now-wife at an acting class. About two years after they first crossed paths, Flynn and Comparetto started dating. After initially holding back because he didn’t have any money at the time, Flynn called Comparetto on her birthday to officially ask her out. Flynn, who had just booked Days of Our Lives, was able to get a reservation at Hotel Bel-Air through a friend for their first date.
The couple got engaged on May 29, 2015, which also happened to be Flynn’s 30th birthday. They married on October 1, 2016. A year after Flynn and Comparetto got married, the actor penned a heartfelt note to his wife, reminiscing about their nuptials.
“As I’m looking through wedding photos I naturally froze on this one. As I always do…It was in this exact moment in time, looking at THAT face, that everything I thought I knew about life changed. Everything I thought I wanted disappeared,” he captioned a wedding photo. “It was in this EXACT moment in time, that I knew going forward…the only thing for certain. Was that I wanted to be her husband. For sure…no questions asked…until it was time to take my last bow (or for as long as she’d let me).”
Do Billy Flynn and his wife have kids?
Yes, Flynn and Comparetto have two sons. Their first child was born in October 2021, followed by their second in December 2023. The couple has shared photos of their family, but they do not post the faces of their sons on social media.
“I’ve never been much of a selfie or meme with my shirt off type of guy,” Flynn previously told SoapHub. “But I’m not [dissing] anyone who does. The older I get, the more I realize I want these memories to be mine — not everyone else’s.”
