Shanna Moakler Publicly Declares Affection for Greg Vaughan, Soap Star Beau
Actress and model Shanna Moakler has announced her relationship with soap opera personality Greg Vaughan, confirming they have been romantically involved since fall 2023. Moakler is now expressing her affection publicly for Vaughan. The couple, both seasoned in navigating public romances, opted for privacy initially to nurture their burgeoning connection away from media attention.
Private Beginnings and Public Declaration of Love
Moakler, 50, expressed that after years in the public eye and navigating high-profile romances, both she and Vaughan sought a more private connection. Speaking to the Daily Mail, she emphasized their desire for a relationship built away from media scrutiny, allowing for genuine moments to unfold organically. She described their relationship as “refreshing,” characterized by “health, peace, and joy” cultivated without external pressures. Moakler underscored that “sometimes the best love stories grow quietly,” which perfectly suited their needs.
Decades-Long Connection Rekindled
While the public announcement of Moakler and Vaughan’s romance is recent, marked by her Instagram debut last month, their history dates back decades. They initially crossed paths as aspiring models in South Beach in 1994. Moakler recounted their “Miami moment,” a brief period of dating before their paths diverged.
Paths Reconverge Years Later
Three years after their initial meeting, Moakler and Vaughan collaborated on the film Poison Ivy: The New Seduction. Subsequently, over the years, their paths intermittently crossed in Los Angeles, on set, or through mutual acquaintances, according to Moakler.
“Life Came Full Circle”: Rekindling Romance
The pair reconnected in November 2023 at a vodka launch hosted by Jason Momoa, reigniting their connection. Moakler described this reunion as “life coming full circle.” Initially, distance presented a challenge as Vaughan resided in Texas and Moakler in California.
