On General Hospital, Molly Lansing-Davis may be navigating single life, but off-screen, Kristen Vaganos has a different story. Fans recently went wild over engagement rumors after her dreamy Italy vacation with boyfriend Nick Cafero. But the actress just set the record straight—and the truth might surprise you.
Italy Sparks the Buzz
Kristen Vaganos and Nick Cafero shared stunning snapshots from their July trip to Italy. The posts were filled with romantic vibes—picturesque streets, intimate dinners, and family moments. Fans couldn’t help but see the perfect proposal setting.
Italy has long been a soap-worthy location for romance. Many viewers instantly imagined a scene worthy of a General Hospital love arc. With family by their side and the backdrop of Italian beauty, the stage seemed set for a fairy-tale engagement. But what fans imagined wasn’t quite reality.
Shortly after the trip, fan pages on Instagram and Facebook began posting congratulatory messages. Some even claimed Vaganos and Cafero were officially engaged. The speculation spread quickly, with congratulatory comments flooding their social media.
But there was one problem—neither Vaganos nor Cafero had announced anything. The posts were based on assumptions, not facts. As the buzz grew, so did the need for a clear answer from the actress herself.
General Hospital Star Kristen’s Statement Shuts Down the Rumors
On August 4th, Kristen Vaganos took to her Instagram Stories to address the chatter. She posted a lighthearted but clear message: “Contrary to the fan page articles, and this literal photoshoot, we did not get engaged.”
Her playful yet firm response showed she wasn’t upset—just ready to set the record straight. The post even linked back to Cafero’s Italy album, making it clear the photos were simply part of a vacation, not a proposal announcement.
While an engagement isn’t on the table just yet, Kristen and Nick’s relationship is still full of love. The couple has been together since early 2024 and shares glimpses of their bond with fans online.
In July, Kristen posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Nick. She praised his kindness, talent, and even his culinary skills—especially his quinoa salad. Her caption also revealed a sweet detail: he’s learning Italian, a perfect nod to their recent travels.
Who Is Nick Cafero?
Nick Cafero is no stranger to TV screens. He has appeared in shows like Grey’s Anatomy, 9-1-1, Black-ish, and even The Office. According to IMDB, he’s set to appear in The Runarounds, a project starring General Hospital’s William Lipton. The show, inspired by Lipton’s real-life band, could be a breakout role for Cafero. With both of their careers thriving, it’s no wonder Kristen and Nick are focused on enjoying the present.
Why General Hospital Fans Are Still Excited
Even without a ring, fans can’t help rooting for the couple. Their romance has all the elements of a soap opera love story—talent, chemistry, and picture-perfect moments. While the engagement rumors may have been premature, they’ve only added to the intrigue surrounding Kristen’s personal life. For now, it looks like Kristen is happy letting her love story unfold at its own pace. And if a proposal ever does happen, fans can bet she’ll share it herself—on her terms.
Kristen Vaganos may not be engaged yet, but her real-life romance is still swoon-worthy. General Hospital fans will be watching closely for any future updates. Until then, catch her as Molly Lansing-Davis on ABC and Hulu, and stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for the latest celebrity news.
