Her luck started turning around when she nabbed the role of Andi Prendergast in the supernatural comedy Reaper on The CW for the show’s two-season run in 2007 and then starred s Officer Andy McNally in the Canadian procedural Rookie Blue in 2010, which aired on ABC in the States for the show’s six-season until it ended in 2015. In the midst of appearances on shows such as Law & Order: SVU, Saving Hope, The Night Shift, and Hawaii Five-0, Peregrym recurred on Seasons 2 and 3 of Van Helsing between 2017 and 2018.

Since 2018, Missy Peregrym has portrayed Special Agent Maggie Bell in CBS’ procedural FBI. The series has spawned two successful spinoffs, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International and the three have done occasional crossovers, including earlier this year. FBI aired its 100th episode as its Season 5 finale earlier this month, with no signs of it slowing down any time soon. The series will come back for Season 6 as part of CBS’ fall schedule, but due to the writers’ strike, there’s no telling when that could be.

Three years after splitting with Zachary Levi, the FBI star married Australian actor Tom Oakley in Los Angeles just days before 2019.

And since getting married, their family has only grown, welcoming two babies over the years, with the most recent being born in 2022.

In October 2019, Peregrym announced that she and Oakley were expecting, telling her followers that Baby Oakley would be coming in Spring 2020. That following March, Otis Paradis Oakley was born, but the actress didn’t announce the birth until almost a full month afterward. However, that baby likely kept the couple busy during quarantine and is still keeping them busy, especially now that he’s an older brother.

Just about two years after Otis was born, Missy Peregrym announced that she and her husband were expecting once again. Due to the timing of the pregnancy, she had to be written out of multiple episodes of FBI, from the end of Season 4 through the beginning of Season 5. Following a nearly-deadly gas attack, Maggie had to spend some time in recovery, which was the perfect way to temporarily write her out and give Peregrym time to decide when to come back. Mela Joséphine Oakley was born in June 2022, and she finally went back to work on FBI in September, giving herself and her family time to be together.
