As mentioned, John Reardon's wife Meghan Ory is also a popular face in films and television. The British Columbia native's IMDb bio says that her mother was a drama teacher and that she developed an interest in acting during her teenage years. Her mother had prohibited her from giving auditions until she could pay for her headshots herself, and she ultimately debuted in a 1999 film, The Darklings.

Meghan slowly began expanding her career to major roles, as she portrayed important characters in shows like Maybe It's Me and Vampire High. The actress went on to accumulate a huge fanbase for her performance as Ruby in the fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time.

The 42-year-old also has a few films in her credits, including Decoys, John Tucker Must Die, Blonde and Blonder, Dark House, and Dead Rising: Watchtower.
