Jill Wagner opens up about family, her farm and the promise she made to God

Actress Jill Wagner has made a name for herself in family-friendly romantic comedies, but her real-life romance with husband David has many of the elements of these heartwarming stories.

They dated early in life. They went their separate ways. And then they got together again. Throw in a small town and a farm – both part of their real plot – and it has all the makings of a Christmas rom-com.

“We were living in our own movie,” Wagner told Crosswalk Headlines with a laugh.

Jill and David talk about that and other stories in a Great American Family special on December 23, Christmas on the farm with Jill Wagner and familywhere they celebrate Christmas with friends and family at their East Tennessee farm.
