When former Hardy Boys star Parker Stevenson walked down the aisle with chef Lisa Schoen on September 29, it wasn’t just another Hollywood love story. It was a tale of how a simple act of kindness—borrowing a pot—turned into a love affair that even the most seasoned romance novelist couldn’t top. “Lisa asked Parker to borrow a large pot, and to thank him, she returned it brimming with the best chicken soup he’d ever tasted,” a close friend of the couple revealed exclusively to Closer Weekly. That soup? Well, let’s just say it sealed the deal.

Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? Parker, who’s no stranger to the spotlight, fell head over heels for Lisa, a personal chef with two decades of experience cooking for industry execs, celebrities, and athletes. This wasn’t just a fleeting crush—it was a deep connection that grew stronger with every meal. When Parker finally popped the question, it wasn’t just a moment of excitement; it was the beginning of a new chapter. The couple exchanged vows at the picturesque Demetria Vineyards in Los Olivos, California, before jetting off to Israel for their honeymoon. Mazel tov, indeed!

Parker Stevenson: A Man of Many Talents

While Lisa is undoubtedly Parker’s heartthrob, she isn’t his only passion. The 66-year-old actor has a lifelong love for photography that rivals his dedication to acting. Back in 2013, during an interview with Smashing Interviews Magazine, Parker opened up about his multifaceted career. “Acting is still a part of me, but my focus these days is on photography,” he confessed. “I wake up every morning editing photos, making calls to set up shoots. This is where my energy lies, but acting will always have a special place in my heart. In acting, you’re just one piece of the puzzle, contributing to a larger picture.”

But Parker also reflected on the path that led him to fame. “I often wonder if I should’ve pursued photography instead of acting. You can’t go back, though. I was fresh out of Princeton, not quite ready to dive into architecture, and NYU business school seemed like the next step when The Hardy Boys came along. I thought, ‘Sure, why not give it a shot?’ And that’s how I ended up on that path. I’d already acted in a few features and over 120 commercials, but The Hardy Boys really set the tone for my career moving forward.”
