Melora Hardin and Gildart Jackson married life
In an interview with People in 2008, Melora Hardin discussed how she met fellow actor and eventual spouse Gildart Jackson. Hardin admitted that the two were filming something but would not specify what. "That was kind of an office romance because sets are my office," she said. In the end, Hardin and Jackson got married in 1997, and they've been blissfully wed ever since.
Even though they both love performing, Hardin is the one who makes money, while Jackson spends his time raising his children well. For Huffington Post, Jackson wrote in 2009, "I don't work as much as she does, but from the family standpoint this is a terrific thing."
Even while Hardin is working, the adored husband gets "to spend a lot of time with the kids," she added. Throughout the length of The Office, Hardin did, in fact, occasionally bring their kids to the set, according to Jackson.

Piper posted a picture in August 2021 of herself performing on stage holding a microphone and the caption, "Thankful for the entire evening. I'd like to thank everyone who attended and helped make this possible."
On Instagram, Melora has posted a number of high-quality pictures of her daughter, including one from April 2019 that included the actress and both of her children. The caption read, "Lovely shot of me and my girls."
Rory and Piper have been exposed to Hardin and Jackson's performing lifestyle for much of their lives; they have even occasionally made appearances on television. The family had a screen appearance in 2009's You, a movie about a widower father attempting to raise his daughter.
They all appeared in the Hardin-directed movie, which Jackson said was a family adventure and that their two girls had a different taste of family life (via Huffington Post). The fact that we were sailing together as a family, he continued, "made our vacation even more lovely," and he felt "that it was a great gift to our kids to have had this family adventure." Making a movie is, Gildart continued, "a... exhilarating voyage."
Furthermore, according to Hardin, who spoke to 9Entertainment, she was "kind of loving being entirely stuck with my family and... my two teenage children, who are quite sociable, are completely trapped with me" during the COVID-19 pandemic.
