Hart and Wilkerson met in May 2002 when she introduced his band at a Kentucky Derby event in Louisville, Ky., according to the magazine.

The new parents tied the knot in Florence, Italy, in July 2003, three months after “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” a popular sitcom about a high school student with magic powers, ended its seven-year run.
