While Virgin River fans can't respond directly to her Stories, there's no doubt they share in the sorrow over Alexandra's unfortunate revelation.

This sad news comes on the heels of another difficult announcement by the actress that she had caught Covid for the fourth time, resulting in a loss of her sense of smell.

Since around 2017, after the birth of her second child, she has resided in the suburbs near Atlanta, Georgia.

The actress, who plays Mel Monroe in the hit small-town romance, married musician Casey Hooper in 2015, and they have two children together, son Jack and daughter Billie.

Reflecting on her move to Atlanta in an interview with Atlanta Magazine, she expressed: "The rural areas of Georgia have an amazing sense of community we were lacking in LA.

"We wanted our children to grow up in a place where they could play and ride their bikes that didn't feel like a big city."
