General Hospital’s Maura West Is Married To A Famous Former Soap Star

While Scott DeFreitas got his start on the soap opera “As the World Turns,” he can also be seen in “Young People’s Specials” from 1984 to 1985, where he played Jack Kellerhouse. Maura West and DeFreitas met while working on “ATWT,” and they were married on January 22, 2000. The two share four children, in addition to West’s son from a previous marriage to director Jonathan Knight. Despite their showbiz start, soaps are not the only thing the couple has in common — they also share a love of baseball.

In a sweet anniversary message to her husband, West posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, about the creative way DeFreitas proposed to her and how the game of baseball has played a significant part in their relationship. She gushed, “Last night my sweetheart surprised me w tix to see @Yankees v Angels. 20 years ago he proposed to me at Yankee Stadium. On our first date we played catch in the street. And he’s a Boston fan. So: this is true love. Thank you, Scotty!”
