Max Thieriot's wife, Lexi Murphy, met him when they were still teenagers. They dated for several years before Thieriot popped the big question in 2012. They were joined in holy matrimony the following year.
Despite being married to a famous actor and director, Lexi Murphy keeps away from the public gaze. However, her husband doesn't shy away from showing off his wife and kids on social media.
The couple shares two sons; their firstborn arrived in 2015 and then another followed in 2018. Besides working in the movie industry, Thieriot is part owner of Senses Wines, and Murphy works for the company's marketing department.

Who Is Lexi Murphy Besides Being Max Thieriot’s Wife?
Not much is known about Murphy as she keeps a low profile and away from the attention her well-known husband gets. Still, he occasionally shares pictures of her and their children. One of the known details about Murphy is that she went to Ursuline High School.
After high school, she attended Loyola Marymount University and completed a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and Human Resources between 2006 and 2010. Professionally, she has worked in various fields, but mainly in the farming and wine industries.

When Did Max Thieriot Meet His Wife, Lexi Murphy?
Thieriot and Murphy first encountered each other while holidaying with their families in the Caribbean. Although they were just teenagers, they began dating shortly after that, and it turned out to be a serious and long-term relationship.
Seven years after they met, the couple, now past their teens, went back for a two-week vacation in 2012. Thieriot saw this as an opportune moment to propose to his girlfriend in the same place they had begun their relationship. He spoke about the occasion, saying:
"I think she expected it was coming. Then, she ended up thinking it wasn’t going to happen because I waited a whole week before I asked."
Although the pair have been in love since childhood, they're still very much in love. For 2023's Valentine's Day holiday, Thieriot uploaded a photo of him and his wife standing in snow-filled woods. The pair were dressed in warm camouflage gear, had backpacks on, and were smiling and holding hands in the Instagram image.
Thieriot revealed that he was in "paradise" whether he was walking on a beach or hiking up a snowy mountain with Murphy by his side. He even lovingly included a hashtag where he called her a queen. In early August of that same year, he shared another picture of him and his wife.
Murphy's husband uploaded an Instagram photo of them dressed in what he described as a "Studio 54 outfit" for a themed wedding. He joked that his outfit ended up looking more like “Boston George” meets “Almost Famous," but he didn't mind because his wife "liked it."

Kristen Stewart Attended Max Thieriot and Lexi Murphy’s Wedding
After a year as an engaged couple, Thieriot and Murphy tied the knot on June 1, 2013, in Arizona. They exchanged their vows in front of family and friends during the intimate but private special occasion.
In October 2023, Murphy's husband was back again with another update and a brief look into his life.
Among the guests at the wedding was Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart. Stewart had become friends with Thieriot and they featured together in the 2004 movie, "Catch That Kid." The "Twilight" star posed for photos and mingled with guests during the wedding.
One of Max Thieriot & Lexi Murphy’s Children Was Born Just a Couple of Years Ago
Thieriot and Murphy became parents for the first time in 2015. The then-27-year-old "Bates Motel" star announced on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) that the couple had added one more member to their family.
The social media posts showed their newborn baby sleeping sweetly in a bowl and wrapped in a towel. It was accompanied by a caption that read:
"Christmas came early this year! @lexithieriot and I are so excited to announce the birth of our son Beaux. We love him to the moon!"
Baby Beaux was followed by his younger brother, Maximus, in 2018. The exact dates of the children's birth are unknown but, going by their father's social media posts, their birth months can be approximated. Thieriot often posts pictures of his boys, and they seem to enjoy spending time outdoors.
Since welcoming their sons, Thieriot and his wife have ensured that they build a bond as a foursome. For instance, for 2023's Easter holidays, the family looked happy as they posed together for a photo while on a farm with a barn in the backyard.
In August 2023, the actor's familay gathered together again for another group picture. Thieriot revealed in the post's caption that they had gone to a themed party and he decided to dress as Tarzan complete with a fake club.
His wife was dressed as Jane, wearing a yellow puff-sleeved dress, a hat with a pink ribbon, and an orange belt. Their sons went shirtless with jungle-themed headbands, pants, and accessories. The boys also had fake bones tied to their pants and jungle necklaces.
In October 2023, Murphy's husband was back again with another update and a brief look into his life. He featured an Instagram video that showed him bonding with his sons by enjoying some fishing.
One of his sons caught a nice big fish that was then prepared into a dish that included avocado. Thieriot was also recorded while playing a round of golf and posing with his wife. He captioned the post, revealing that they'd gone out to have some fun in Mexico.
