Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg's Relationship Timeline

Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg make quite the team.

The Real World alum and the One Tree Hill actor knew each other for years before they became an official couple in 2012. After less than a year of dating, the pair got engaged. They tied the knot on Halloween in 2015 and have been going strong ever since.

After struggling with infertility, the couple welcomed twin boys via surrogate in 2021. While raising twins is not always easy, something the Lovecraft County actress has been vocal about, Chung and Greenberg have each other to lean on, and help from loved ones.

When asked about their plans for the big day, Chung said they were considering a fall wedding and wanted to work their shared passion for the outdoors into the festivities.

"We love working out. We love the outdoors. So we want to incorporate that — maybe make it a weekend and have all the guests go on a hike," she said. "Or there's a crazy obstacle course at this one location. We literally have to do something every day in terms of something physical."

March 14, 2014: Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg discuss their wedding plans

While speaking to PEOPLE about her and Greenberg's wedding plans, Chung admitted that her soon-to-be husband was "better at planning parties" than her. She added that they had different ideas about what their big day would look like.

The weekend included a private yoga session, beach time, massages, a private rooftop dinner and a party at the hotel's nightclub.

October 31, 2015: Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg get married

The couple tied the knot on Halloween in 2015. Chung and Greenberg exchanged vows in front of their family and friends at El Capitan Canyon in Santa Barbara, California. The celebration was captured for the Spring 2016 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.

Chung had Monique Lhuillier design her dress and her "something old" came from her dad. "There's this coin that my sister gave to me that my dad used to carry around in his pocket," she said. "It's been his good-luck charm all his life, so I kind of want to sew in a little pocket for that."

February 11, 2016: Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg star in their first movie together

Not long after their wedding, the newlyweds starred in their first film together, Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong, as two Americans who meet in Hong Kong and fall in love.

Ahead of the film's release, Chung reflected on working with Greenberg and the challenge of translating their real-life chemistry to the screen.

"It was really important that these characters showed that excitement and that electric feeling of when you first meet someone," she told PEOPLE. "The tricky part was unlearning each other and try to keep those feelings organic of when we first met on screen and whatnot. But the dialogue kind of did it for us."

Chung also spoke about her decision to keep her last name after tying the knot with Greenberg.

"I think I was tripping out more so when we had to turn in the marriage license after we got married because that, like, really sealed the deal," she said. "When you go to the courthouse they ask you, 'What do you want to do? Which name do you want to take?' and I hadn't really thought about it until that moment and I felt so much pressure."

She continued, "I was like, 'Why do we have to change our names?' I come from a generation of all women, so there's really no one to carry on the family name. I had to think about it and it's so weird — it's just a weird thing to go through."

" she explained. "I couldn't do it."

She continued, "It's crazy because it's now on Hulu or one of those sites where you can watch all the seasons, and it's kind of generated this new crop of fans. So I see a lot of younger girls who are like fanning out on Bryan and I'm like, 'Oh my God, that was like over 10 years ago.' "

Due to their demanding careers, Chung and Greenberg spent much of the early days of their marriage apart. In August 2016, Chung spoke to PEOPLE about how they made long-distance work.

"We do spend a lot of time apart because of work. He's in L.A., I'm in New York. He's in Atlanta, I'm in New York," she said. "We keep missing each other, so the time that we do have together, we're very cognizant of how limited it is. We try to make the most of the time we do have together."

"It really tests your patience," Chung said. "You're sleep-deprived. I think one of the other best [pieces of] advice that I got is … just give each other a hall pass. We get it. You're tired, you're cranky. I mean, I have spurts where you just need to stop and take a deep breath and apologize. It's freaking tough."

June 8, 2022: Jamie Chung speaks about her and Bryan Greenberg's surrogate experience

Less than a year after Chung and Greenberg became parents, the Hangover actress opened up about their decision to use a surrogate, revealing that she feared pregnancy would hurt her career.

"I was terrified of becoming pregnant. I was terrified of putting my life on hold for two-plus years," she told Today Parents. "In my industry, it feels like you're easily forgotten if you don't work within the next month of your last job. Things are so quickly paced in what we do. So it's a compromise that we made together as a couple."

She continued, "People probably think, 'Oh, she's so vain. She didn't want to get pregnant,' and it's much more complicated than that ... For me, personally, and I will leave it at this, it's like, I worked my ass off my entire life to get where I am." She added, "I don't want to lose opportunities. I don't want to be resentful."

Chung also shared that they kept their pregnancy news under wraps partly because of the stigma that surrounds surrogacy.

"I think there's a little bit of shame. It's still not a very common thing and we weren't ready for judgment," she said. "We really just did it to protect ourselves. We announced things when we were ready to."

June 13, 2022: Jamie Chung talks raising twins with Bryan Greenberg and being a working mom

In an interview with PEOPLE, Chung discussed the challenges of balancing parenthood with her busy acting career.

"It's hard. It requires all hands on deck," Chung said. "With twins especially, you need at least three adults for it to be doable. For you to do all of your work stuff."

She continued, "If I'm giving myself an audition or taking a meeting, it's tough for my partner to handle two kids on his own. So if we have that extra help, it's a lot more helpful. So it requires a lot of logistics and planning."

As new parents, the pair also learned to set aside time to nurture their own relationship.

"We try to plan date night," Chung added. "Now that the kids are sleeping through the night, they're on a really great schedule. So by 7:00 p.m., they're in bed. We're like, 'Okay, we'll call the sitter.' ... We're going to go to dinner and watch a film and that's kind of our night out."
