Being in love is solemnly one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. But not everyone gets to be lucky in love. There's, however, this one special woman we know who has been fortunate enough with that experience.
Our beloved readers, do allow us to introduce you to the beautiful actress Andrea Bendewald who has been lucky in love with her long-term partner, Mitch Rouse, for more than two decades.
Rouse Instantly Fell For Bendewald But Needed To Grow A Pair
The love story for Andrea and her husband begins in the year 1998 when Mitch was working as one of the leads on ABC's comedy series, The Secret Lives of Men alongside, Peter Gallagher and Bradley Whitford.
Andrea Bendewald and her husband Mitch Rouse met in 1998 for the first time. SOURCE: Famous Fix The Simon actress, however, only had a minor role as a guest as Rouse's ex-wife on the sitcom and that was when the two came across each other for the first time. And, little did what she didn't know was the fact that her co-star had already fallen in love with her at the very first sight.
Not to mention, Mr. Rouse was totally starstruck with the beauty and personality of Andrea that he got weak on his knees like a little puppy. Mitch, in fact, couldn't even make the bare effort to approach the girl he was already crushing hard in a short span of time.
But, what choices did he have as a grown-up man of 34? Whereas, on the other hand, Bendewald still had no idea that she had a secret admirer. And, finally, the Knoxville bred build up the guts to ask her out on a date for coffee.
Sadly, Mitch had no luck at his first attempt as fate had a different plan. The Suddenly Susan alum rejected the date as she needed to jet off to Nicaragua for Save the Children where she volunteered to contribute to the damaged area led by Hurricane Mitch.
