A year later, in January 2013, they tied the knot.
The couple moved to the US, where Rebecca took on roles as the iconic Clarice Starling in the CBS Silence of the Lambs spin-off series Clarice, and as Nicole in Pretty Little Liars.
After moving to the United States, Luke also landed roles on the CW’s Tomorrow People and Agents of SHIELD
The couple moved back to Australia about three years ago.
In 2023, Rebecca told TV Week that the move had been “good for the soul.”

“It was really nice to get grounded and be back home,” she said.
‘Finally I have a garden, I have wanted a vegetable garden for so long. So we are literally putting down roots at home and that has been very soothing to the soul.”
She added that her time in the US was made so much easier thanks to having Luke by her side.
“It was very powerful to have someone who was your anchor and your home base, because it can be a very difficult experience, moving away from everything you’ve ever known,” she said.
‘Our sector has a lot of pressure and many highs and lows. It can be very lonely.’
