Laura Wright Clears the Air: “I’m Not Married — Thank You, Facebook AI!”
General Hospital Star Addresses Fake Wedding Rumors and Shares Heartwarming Fan Encounter
It’s not unusual for soap stars to become the subject of wild fan speculation — after all, their on-screen romances often blur the line between fantasy and reality. But this time, General Hospital’s beloved Carly Spencer — played by Laura Wright — found herself at the center of a digital-age mix-up involving AI, social media, and a very sweet (if slightly misinformed) fan gesture.
A Gift for a Wedding That Never Happened
Recently, Laura Wright took to Instagram to recount a funny — and heartwarming — moment from her weekend meet-and-greet events in Detroit and Cleveland. She and her longtime partner, Wes Ramsey (best known to GH fans as the late Peter August), were the recipients of a surprising “wedding gift.”
According to Laura, one kind-hearted fan had brought along both a present and a congratulatory card to celebrate the couple’s supposed marriage. The only problem? Laura and Wes haven’t tied the knot — and never said they did.
“I got a nice wedding present and card,” Laura shared with a laugh. “But I’m not married. Thank you, Facebook AI.”
The actress, known for her humor and down-to-earth attitude, took the mix-up in stride. She explained that she’d been on the road with friends, enjoying the fan meetups and even a long, laughter-filled three-hour drive between cities. But the gift reminded her — and all of us — just how powerful and misleading online “news” can be in the era of AI-generated misinformation.
The Source of the Confusion: An AI Wedding Post
It all started back in mid-August, when a fake AI-generated wedding post began circulating on Facebook before spreading to X (formerly Twitter). The post featured fabricated images and claims that Laura Wright and Wes Ramsey had secretly gotten married — a rumor that caught fire among soap fans eager to see the real-life couple make it official.
Laura quickly set the record straight, confirming that while she and Wes are indeed happily together, they are not married. Despite her clarification, the AI-generated content continued to circulate — and one fan, unaware of the correction, decided to bring a gift in celebration.
For Laura, the moment was both endearing and eye-opening. It showed just how deeply invested General Hospital fans are in their favorite actors’ real lives — and also how easily misinformation can take root when digital content looks convincing enough.
The History Behind the Engagement Rumors
Of course, this wasn’t the first time fans speculated that Wright and Ramsey might be headed down the aisle. Nearly four years ago, engagement rumors took off when Laura posted a photo on social media wearing a ring on that finger. Fans immediately assumed that Wes had popped the question — and the speculation took off like wildfire.
But Laura quickly clarified that the ring wasn’t an engagement band. Since then, GH enthusiasts have continued to root for the couple, often hoping they’ll make their long-running relationship official one day.
The two actors first met years before General Hospital even brought them together on-screen. Their chemistry reignited when Laura joined the soap as Carly Spencer and Wes later entered the canvas as Peter August, the son of the infamous Cesar Faison. Although their on-screen counterparts never shared a romantic storyline, the actors’ off-screen connection blossomed into one of daytime TV’s most beloved real-life romances.
Fans React: Humor, Kindness, and AI Awareness
Following Laura’s Instagram post, fans flooded the comments with laughter, affection, and a healthy dose of self-awareness about how easily even the most loyal viewers can be duped by AI-generated content.
One fan wrote, “You got a wedding card? Guess AI fools the best of us! It’s getting too good even for me to spot sometimes.”
Another commented, “The wedding rumor was hilarious, but that fan was so sweet. Thank you for coming to Cleveland — had a blast!”
The tone of the responses reflected the deep affection the soap community has for Wright. Even as the rumor itself was debunked, fans continued to express admiration for her approachable nature and appreciation for those who show up to events just to meet her in person.
A Teachable Moment: The Rise of AI Misinformation
While Laura’s experience ended on a lighthearted note, it highlights a growing issue in the entertainment world — the rise of AI-generated fake news. With the advent of realistic image generators and deepfake technology, social media users can easily be misled by convincing but completely fabricated posts.
In Laura’s case, the misinformation was harmless and even led to a touching fan interaction. But in other situations, these false narratives can have serious consequences. Wright herself referenced actor Steve Burton’s unfortunate experience, where a woman was tricked by an online scammer impersonating the soap star — to the point of selling her home and sending him money, believing they were romantically involved.
As Laura subtly reminded fans, it’s important to verify information before believing — or sharing — anything that surfaces online. “Thank you, Facebook AI,” she joked, but the humor carried a real-world message about the dangers of unchecked digital deception.
Laura Wright and Wes Ramsey: Still Going Strong
Despite the rumor mill’s best efforts, Laura and Wes remain happily unmarried — but completely in love. Their relationship, now spanning several years, continues to inspire fans who admire the way they’ve navigated public life with honesty, warmth, and authenticity.
The couple frequently shares glimpses into their life together on social media — from vacations and cozy home moments to behind-the-scenes snapshots from General Hospital sets and fan events. Their mutual support, both professionally and personally, has become a cornerstone of their relationship’s charm.
Wright’s latest Instagram story may have been prompted by a silly mix-up, but it also reaffirmed what fans already know: she’s grounded, good-humored, and genuinely grateful for the support she and Wes receive from the GH community.
Final Thoughts
In an era when artificial intelligence can create fake news faster than it can be fact-checked, Laura Wright’s story serves as a refreshing — and slightly humorous — reminder that not everything we see online is real.
The General Hospital star’s ability to laugh off the misunderstanding, while still acknowledging the kindness of her fan, perfectly captures why she remains one of the most beloved figures in daytime television.
So no, Laura Wright and Wes Ramsey haven’t said “I do” — at least not yet. But if the fan enthusiasm and their ongoing love story are any indication, General Hospital viewers will be ready to celebrate for real when (and if) that day ever comes.
Until then, we can all agree with Laura’s sentiment: “Thank you, Facebook AI — but maybe next time, let’s fact-check first.”
