When it comes to The Rookie<\/em><\/a>, viewers love seeing Eric Winter<\/strong><\/a>‘s character, Tim Bradford, navigate his love life. But what about away from the cameras? It turns out Eric lives a life of wedded bliss, thanks to his marriage to Roselyn S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, his wife of 17 years. <\/p>\n Eric and Roselyn’s road to romance dates back to 2005, when they first met at a party in Los Angeles. At the time, both were coming off of divorces (Eric was married to Allison Ford <\/strong>from 2001 to 2005; Roselyn wed Gary Stretch<\/strong> in 1998 and divorced in 2001). The two were smitten with one another, and a report from Swooon<\/a><\/em> <\/em>noted Eric asked Roselyn out for a sushi date three months after meeting. The two later went away for the weekend for their second date, and the rest was history. <\/p>\n Fast-forward two years, and Eric proposed to Roselyn in 2007 while kayaking at midnight in Roselyn’s home country of Puerto Rico. And while the engagement seemed romantic, Eric joked to InStyle<\/em> that it came with some unexpected nerves. <\/p>\n
