There’s nothing quite like a 2000s teen drama that involves a love triangle, and that’s exactly what Wildfire served up for four years on ABC Family. Plus, the whole series takes place on the Ritter family horse ranch in New Mexico.

When teenager Kris Furillo is released from a juvenile detention center, she begins working as a stable hand on Raintree Farm. And while she eventually becomes a jockey as the series unfolds, she also spends a lot of time determining which boy she is in love with: Matt Ritter or Junior Davis. The series is chock full of romance, drama and horses.

But while Kris is confused about the love in her life on-screen, it seems the cast members have got it figured out. Find out who from the show is married in real life and which cast members might be single.
