grant show and Katherine LaNasa have been married since August 18, 2012. Tonight puts that timeline back in view because she is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the Emmys, and he is expected to attend with her.
Big Love to August 18, 2012
August 18, 2012 was the end point of a relationship that started on Big Love. LaNasa and Show met while working on the show, then married at Oak Grove at Ribbit Tree & Plant Nursery in Topanga, California, turning a brief workplace encounter into a long-running marriage that now spans 14 years.
2014 added a family marker when Eloise McCue Show was born. That detail matters in practical terms because it places tonight’s Emmy appearance inside a family unit, not just a red-carpet pairing, and it is why LaNasa’s acceptance speech referenced both her children and her husband.
Katherine LaNasa and Grant Show
Grant Show’s side of the timeline reaches back to the mid-to-late 1980s, when he rose to prominence on Ryan's Hope. He later played Jake Hanson on Melrose Place from 1992 to 1997, then held series regular roles on Devious Maids from 2013 to 2016 and Dynasty Reboot from 2017 to 2022. He also received two Daytime Emmy nominations for Ryan's Hope.
LaNasa’s own note about the marriage was more direct than any public relation post. She thanked “my children for making me real, and my beautiful husband, Grant Show, for helping me always with everything.” Show, for his part, has said, “We really have a great life; we say it all the time. I’ve gotten bigger and freer because of Katherine. I see the openness that she has and think, You know what? I guess it is safe over there.” He added, “I’ve watched her, and she works harder than anyone I know.”
Oak Grove and Emmys
1989 and 1990 still sit behind the current moment: LaNasa married Dennis Hopper in 1989, and Henry Hopper was born in 1990. By 2009 to 2011, she was playing Beverly Ford on Big Love, which is the point where her professional and personal timelines intersected with Show’s. The result is a marriage that reads less like a fresh publicity beat and more like a durable entertainment-industry partnership built after work put them in the same orbit.
Tonight’s Emmys appearance gives readers the cleanest snapshot of that partnership now: LaNasa arrives as a nominee, and Show is expected beside her. How they reconnected after their brief first meeting on Big Love is still the missing piece, but the arc itself is already clear — a 2012 wedding, one child in 2014, and a couple that still shows up together when the industry puts them on the same floor.
