For quite some time now, General Hospital’s Maurice Benard has been the subject of speculation as to whether he would be leaving his iconic role as mob boss, Sonny Corinthos. San speculation has been fueled by the fact that Sonny and his right-hand man, lethal enforcer Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), have been trying to figure out how to go legit. Benard has made no mention of exiting, and instead has continued to engage his fans with upbeat things on social media, and recently had a wonderful family moment that he shared.

It was very beautiful

General Hospital star Maurice Benard shared a video on Instagram and wrote, “My daughter @cailey_avila and @cavila628 renewed their wedding vows at the best place ever, my home. It was very beautiful and a lot of fun. Let’s do [it] again 💐.” Benard had previously gotten emotional when his daughter, Cailey, married Carlos Avila, with the actor officiating. Now, he brought tears of joy to his fans once again. The video depicted the ceremony, which had a different officiant, and Benard was in the audience, panning around and chatting with other guests.

Co-star Finola Hughes (Anna) eagerly responded, “I love your family, Mo. they have their priorities right and are full of love.” @mizviznbiz, who seems to have been ardently following Benard’s life, lovingly wrote, “Congrats to your daughter! To mom and dad, too! This is the result of the love and values you and your wife have instilled in them. Nothing will ever compare to family love.” Similarly, @lionessdi replied to his post with, “Congrats to your beautiful daughter. Cailey &. Carlos , great to see your beautiful wife. Paula! 🌺📕🎬. Thanks for sharing. Maurice and your Beautiful family! &. Grandkids.”

Nothing more beautiful

Another General Hospital and Benard follower, @yvette.walter, eagerly commented, “How beautiful this is! What a beautiful family you have…. love seeing all these posts!” @projectsoulbynicki responded, “Nothing more beautiful than seeing the endless celebrations of love again and again,” and Benard replied simply, “@projectsoulbynicki yes.”

It is clear that Benard deeply loves his children as he shared a heartwarming announcement in May of another daughter, “Cassidy,” being proposed to by her boyfriend, Anthony Cammarata. That post also had a video, and Benard captioned it, “My daughter Cassidy got proposed to in Japan Disney Land by Anthony Cammarata. People talk about soulmates. These two are two peas in a pod. I could never see either of them with anyone else I love them both tremendously.”

Now, we eagerly await notice of more grandchildren for the General Hospital star to be on their way!
