\n\tHe arranged a trip to a swap meet with the film\u2019s art department. O\u2019Hara even recalled to InStyle <\/a>how it all went down, saying, \u201cI was grouching to Tim Burton about how this guy was talking to me all the time and never asking me out. We had a break between filming in Los Angeles and on location, and in that time, Tim told Bo that he should ask me out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added, \u201cOur first day of shooting at the house was the day that Bo finally asked me out, so that\u2019s what I see when I look at the scenes we shot there. Matchmaking Tim Burton<\/a>!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThen, she moved to LA after filming to be with him. They later tied the knot in April 25, 1992, and welcomed two sons named Matthew, born in 1994, and Luke, born in 1997.<\/p>\n

\n\tO\u2019Hara and Welch were together until her death at 71 on Jan 30, 2026.<\/p>\n
