Eric Mabius gave fans a rare look at his personal life during a recent beach getaway with girlfriend Jennifer Moreno. The 55-year-old actor, best known for playing Daniel Meade on Ugly Betty, shared a series of Instagram photos over the weekend from St. Augustine Beach, Florida, where the couple appeared to enjoy a sunny day by the ocean.
In one selfie, Mabius showed off his fit physique while going shirtless, as Moreno wore a black bathing suit and relaxed beside him on the beach. Along with the image, the actor expressed gratitude for the setting, describing the day as a favorite moment in one of his favorite places. He highlighted the warm sunshine, blue skies and the company he was keeping, saying life felt really good.
Mabius also shared a photo from the night before, showing himself driving with Moreno riding in the passenger seat as they headed to a live concert in Fort Lauderdale. The pair were on their way to see Young the Giant’s Victory Garden Tour show at War Memorial Auditorium, along with Cold War Kids. In his caption, Mabius described the outing as a classic road trip experience, with the windows down, music up and his favorite person by his side.
Although Mabius has not publicly discussed the relationship in detail, he began posting photos of Moreno on social media in 2024, marking the first time fans got a glimpse of the couple together online. Their recent vacation photos offered one of the clearest looks yet at their relationship and suggested the pair are spending plenty of time together enjoying travel, music and time outdoors.
Before his relationship with Moreno, Mabius was married to Ivy Sherman from 2006 until their divorce in 2018. The former couple share two children. Despite keeping much of his private life out of the spotlight, Mabius has occasionally used social media to share personal moments with followers, including travel, family and lifestyle updates.
Mabius rose to fame for his role in Ugly Betty, where he played the stylish and ambitious Daniel Meade. The show remains one of the actor’s most recognizable credits and continues to draw interest from fans years after it ended.

The vacation photos also came as interest in the Ugly Betty cast remains strong, with cast members occasionally commenting on the possibility of revisiting the series. While no reboot has been announced, the show’s legacy continues to attract attention, and Mabius remains closely associated with one of its most memorable characters.
