<p id=”par-2_49″>Rosenbaum – who plays Mike Hickam on <em>When Calls the Heart </em>– celebrated his birthday on March 3. His girlfriend and series star Krakow shared two photos to mark the happy occasion, one of Rosenbaum cradling the pair’s dog, Willoughby, and another of the two smiling on the beach. </p>
<p id=”par-3_28″>“Happy Birthday @ben_rosenbaum,” she wrote in the <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DGwtByQxD72/?hl=en&img_index=2″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> update. “You take such good care of us. And you make the world laugh. What more could we ask for?”</p>
<p id=”par-4_37″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/when-calls-the-heart-erin-krakow-adopted-adorable-puppy-co-star-ben-rosenbaum.html/”>Krakow and Rosenbaum</a> confirmed their romance in February 2024. Fans had long suspected that the pair were an item based on social media updates, including a March 2023 <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWYSn3L4-p/?hl=en&img_index=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>post</a> where she referred to him as “Willoughby’s Dad.” </p>
<p id=”par-5_78″>While Krakow and Rosenbaum star together on <em>When Calls the Heart, </em>they aren’t a couple on the romantic drama. Krakow’s character, schoolteacher Elizabeth Thornton, is currently in a relationship with Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry). Before that, she was married to Jack Thornton (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/erin-krakow-santa-tell-me-new-hallmark-christmas-movie-daniel-lissing-special.html/”>Daniel Lissing</a>), who later died, and was engaged to Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally) before calling off the wedding at the last minute. Rosenbaum’s character married Mei Sou (Amanda Wong) at the end of season 11. </p>
