In October 2021, Chad Duell and Courtney Hope appeared to take their vows in a lavish wedding with a Steampunk theme, with the bride and groom dressed in black and red, as well as their myriad of soap star guests, according to People.
Now, the photos from their wedding appear to be deleted from their social media accounts.
By December 13, Soap Opera Digest reported that Duell and Hope had called it quits, shocking their fans, as well as their family, and friends. However, neither one of them gave any reason for the sudden split so soon after their unique wedding.
By early 2022, Duell finally opened up about the breakup on “Maurice Benard: State of Mind,” a YouTube show that “General Hospital” star Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) hosts each Sunday. He interviews anyone from fellow soap stars to friends and family, often discussing their personal life experiences, as well as mental health issues (via YouTube).
