Just Jared: Eric Mabius



Ugly Betty fashionisto Eric Mabius opens up about his wife Ivy in the June 2009 issue of Boston Common magazine



The 38-year-old actor shared, “We flirted a lot in (Amherst Regional) high school, but we never dated. I moved to [Amherst, Mass.] for the start of ninth grade, and one of the first classes I had was a science class, and that teacher doubled as our sex-ed teacher, so I literally used to have sex-ed with my future wide, which seems a little convenient, but it’s absolutely true.”



Eric is actually considering a return to Amherst: “We’re up there visiting my wife’s father all the time, and we’ve pretty much outgrown his home with the addition to our family…. We’re going to be going back there for the rest of our lives. Western Mass. has such a strong pull for us; it’s just a unique part of the world. We just saw a house that’s on a lake where we used to swim in high school. It was really cool.”



Earlier this week, Mr. Mabius shared pics of his newborn son Rylan Jaxson.
