Greg Vaughan is making headlines again—both in love and on Days of Our Lives. The soap heartthrob just confirmed his romance with model and reality TV star Shanna Moakler. The sweet reveal came as Moakler celebrated her 50th birthday—and Vaughan marked the moment with a heartfelt Instagram post.
He shared a photo of him and Moakler smiling and gazing into each other’s eyes. Alongside the picture, he reflected on love and timing, writing that “some stories don’t fade with time… they wait for the right moment.” For this couple, that moment is clearly now.
Moakler also shared the same photo on her Instagram and added her own emotional caption. She expressed gratitude for her children, her family, and her “tribe.” Most of all, she thanked “the man who loves me like no other,” clearly referring to Vaughan.
This relationship isn’t new—it’s a reunion. Vaughan and Moakler first met back in 1997 while filming Poison Ivy: The New Seduction. At the time, sparks may have flown, but they were simply co-stars. Last year, they were spotted leaving a Black Keys release party together in Los Angeles. The sighting sparked dating rumors, but the couple stayed quiet. Now, with their public posts, it’s official—they’ve found their way back to each other.
Both stars have been in high-profile relationships before. Moakler shares two kids with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and has a daughter with boxing champ Oscar De La Hoya. Vaughan was previously married to Touriya Haoud and shares three sons with her. He was also engaged to actress Angie Harmon.
If fans want more tea on this rekindled romance, they may not have to wait long. Moakler recently announced a new podcast called Bad Bunnies, which she’ll co-host with General Hospital alum Kelly Monaco. Monaco and Vaughan were once co-stars on General Hospital, adding another layer of history to this love story. With so many ties to the soap world, the podcast could offer even more behind-the-scenes details on Vaughan and Moakler’s relationship.
