Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum don't date on When Calls the Heart — but their real-life love for one another is something fans always enjoy seeing.
The couple prefers to keep their relationship offline, but Erin had to pop on Instagram to share heartfelt words about her boyfriend. As a way to celebrate Ben's birthday on March 3, Erin posted a series of photos featuring the twosome and their pet dog Willoughby. And if that wasn't enough, Erin shared just how much she loves having Ben in her life and the positive effect he's had on her.
"Happy Birthday @ben_rosenbaum," she wrote in a rare emotional tribute. "You take such good care of us. And you make the world laugh. What more could we ask for? 🥹❤️."
Given how the couple doesn't always disclose their love for one another online, folks couldn't get enough of seeing Erin's passionate confession of love to Ben for a special occasion.
"The cutest little family ♥️," one person wrote in the comments. "Happy Birthday 🎂 Love seeing photos of the happy couple!," another agreed. "The sweetest. The post. The birthday boy. The pup. And you. 😊," a different follower added.
Honestly, aren't Erin and Ben the sweetest? We love seeing highlights of these two's romance when they do choose to share them with fans. And even though their characters Elizabeth Thornton and Mike Hickam aren't in a romantic relationship on When Calls the Heart, Erin has spoken out about the hit Hallmark drama being a place where relationships grow and foster.
"I think there's just always been a bit of magic in Hope Valley," Erin told People in April 2024. "I know that's not the most romantic illustration of what makes Hope Valley magical, but I do think there's just something special about the show and the people involved. When you put a bunch of special people together in one place, connections are bound to be made."
