John Cho, 49, who starred in the hugely successful Star Trek franchise reboot, has been off the market for over a decade and a half! The actor who rose to fame portraying Harold in the Harold and Kumar films alongside Kal Penn, is married to his college sweetheart. His wife’s name is Kerri Higuchi, who is an actor.

Higuchi has 14 acting credits to her name, including most notably having appeared on Grey’s Anatomy as Dr. Elizabeth Chen. John and Kerri married in 2006 and welcomed their first child together, a son, in 2008, and then a daughter in 2013.

In 2015, the 49-year-old actor confirmed to Glamour that despite meeting his wife of over 15 years during their attendance at UC Berkeley — where he got a Bachelor’s degree in English — they didn’t begin a romance until later on when they “both came to L.A.”

In the same interview, he revealed that it was his wife’s confidence that drew him to her. “My wife was confident in a way that I was very attracted to,” Cho said.
