Hollywood isn’t for everyone, especially those who tried it and chose to opt out. This applies to Kristine Saryan, actor Scott Patterson’s wife of almost a decade and partner for over two decades.
Although she tried her hand at acting for some time, she chose a quiet life away from the spotlight. Here’s what we know about the privacy-loving Kristine Saryan, former actress and current mother and wife.
Kristine Saryan’s Biography
Also known as Kristine Patterson, Saryan was born to a family of Armenian and Native American descent in April 1984 in California. The exact date is unknown since she’d rather keep it under wraps, which is a recurring theme in her life.
She has two older siblings, Diane Saryan, a cosmetologist, and Michael Saryan, a business lawyer.
Kristine met Scott Patterson in 2001 when she was just 17 years old and he was almost 43. Many people speculate it was during the filming of the first season of Gilmore Girls, where Scott got his breakout role as Luke Danes and she played Chrissy, Miss Patty’s dance assistant. However, they actually met during an intermission to a play they were both attending.
They hit it off immediately and soon started dating. Scott and Kristine got married in a private ceremony in 2014, which is the same year they welcomed their son, Nicholas.
