The couple, who met in 2006 while filming Charlie Bartlett, have been together ever since and share a deep bond. Hilton proposed to Park in 2014, and they got married the following year, marking the beginning of their beautiful journey together.
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Winnie, in February 2020, adding immense joy to their lives. Hilton has often expressed his joy in fatherhood, passionately stating that being a dad is his favorite role. He shared this sentiment in his announcement, thanking his family for the incredible experience of fatherhood and the love they bring into his life.
Supportive Network and Overcoming Challenges
The couple’s journey hasn’t been without challenges, as Park faced the heart-wrenching loss of her father late in her pregnancy. Despite this, she found solace and comfort in the birth of their son, Benny. She described Benny as an incredible gift and a source of light that helped her through this difficult time, bringing much-needed joy to their lives.
Hilton’s excitement about fatherhood is evident in his enthusiastic sharing of his experiences. He previously revealed that he and five fellow One Tree Hill alums created a group chat dedicated to their roles as parents, offering mutual support. This supportive network includes Chad Michael Murray, Paul Johansson, Kieren Hutchison, Lee Norris, and Antwon Tanner, who all celebrate the joys and challenges of parenting together.
Fatherhood Joy and Future Plans
In a September 2020 interview with Today, Tyler Hilton shared the camaraderie among the One Tree Hill dads. “They started a One Tree Hill dad chat on Father’s Day. It was the cutest thing,” he said. This close-knit group provides mutual support, celebrating milestones and offering advice as they embrace the journey of fatherhood together.
As Hilton and Park adjust to life as a family of four, they continue to thrive in their respective careers. Park’s work in post-production and her festival appearances highlight her dedication and talent, while Hilton’s heartfelt social media posts showcase his unwavering love for his family. The arrival of baby Bennett marks a new chapter filled with love and resilience for Tyler Hilton and Megan Park.
