Not only Henrie portrayed Justin Russo, but he also played Ted Mosby's son on How I Met Your Mother.

David was part of our life and we knew everything about his cringe, but also very smart character Justin. So now, it is time to take a closer look into Henrie's personal life and find out more about his wife.

Who is David Henrie's wife?

David Henrie has been married to Maria Cahill Henrie since April 2017.

It is quite interesting how Henrie and Cahill met, as some might say it was destiny.

Maria was speaking at Catholic youth events when their paths crossed, reportedly in 2014, and Henrie has credited Los Angeles Archbishop José H. Gomez with introducing them.

One thing led to another, and in October 2016 Henrie popped the big question: he took Maria out on the water off Catalina for the day, then flew her to Mission San Juan Capistrano to propose, with both families waiting nearby to celebrate.

Six months later, on April 21, 2017, Henrie and Cahill tied the knot in a traditional church wedding in Southern California, surrounded by their friends and families.

There were some star names among the guests including Selena Gomez and Jennifer Stone.

Who is Maria Cahill?

Maria was already known in pageant and Catholic circles, but she became famous after she started her relationship with the Wizards of Waverly Place star, David Henrie.

She prefers to keep a low profile on the internet and she doesn't share personal information publicly.

However, let's take a closer look into Maria Cahill's biography and learn more about her.

Maria Cahill Bio

Maria Cahill was born on January 12, 1991, which makes her 35.

According to her birthday, Maria's zodiac sign is Capricorn.

Cahill was born in Newark, DE, United States, meaning that her nationality is American.

Maria Cahill Family

Maria comes from a very big family, as she has six siblings.

There is no information regarding her mother and father, because as we already mentioned, Maria prefers to keep her personal life a secret.

Maria Cahill Career

Before marriage and motherhood, Maria made her name on the pageant stage.

At the age of 20, Maria was crowned Miss Delaware 2011.

She went on to become a Catholic speaker, talking to young audiences about faith, chastity and the pro-life cause.

Before winning the crown of Miss Delaware, Maria won the Miss Rehoboth Beach contest in 2010.

Maria and David's Child

David and Maria are happy parents to a growing family of four children, after a road that was anything but easy.

After three miscarriages, on March 19, 2019, Maria finally gave birth to the couple's first child, Pia Philomena Francesca Henrie.

In June 2020, the couple revealed that they were expecting their second child, this time a boy: son James, born that December.

The Henrie family in 2026

Daughter Gemma Clare followed in July 2022, and the couple have been open about how hard the journey has been, including the heartbreak of losing a daughter in late 2023.

On Easter Sunday 2026 they shared some happier news: baby number four was on the way, a boy, after they had struggled to conceive again. Maria added a note to the announcement for anyone still waiting, writing: "I've been there, trying to be happy for others but simultaneously grieving a happiness that I wish could have been mine." They welcomed him in September 2026, and true to form have kept his name private so far.

Career-wise, Henrie went back to Waverly Place. He co-stars in and executive-produces the Disney+ sequel series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, reprising Justin Russo, and in 2026 he began hosting the EWTN series Seeking Beauty. The couple are now working together, too: their first children's book, Is God Bigger Than a Dragon?, inspired by their young son's questions about God, is due from the Catholic publisher Ascension on November 10, 2026.
