The love story of Seamus and Steve culminated in a heartfelt union, and their journey as a couple reflects both personal and geographical connections to the province of Newfoundland.
Seamus and Steve’s paths first crossed in Toronto, where Steve worked at a restaurant frequented by Seamus. The initial encounter may have been casual, but the subsequent reunion sparked a realization that would change the course of their lives.
Reflecting on their connection, Seamus fondly shares, “He was working at a restaurant I used to go to, and then we met again later, and we both went; oh. OK. And that was it,” he chuckles.
The couple decided to take their commitment to the next level, and on July 9, 2010, Seamus O’Regan and Steve Doussis exchanged vows in a meaningful ceremony in Newfoundland.

Despite the demands of Seamus’s political career that often take him to Ottawa, the couple has found a balance in their relationship. Steve, affectionately known as Stel, works closer to home in St. John’s. Seamus emphasizes the importance of making the moments they have together count, acknowledging the challenges that come with busy lives.
“I don’t tend to miss him when I’m in Ottawa, that’s when I’m the busiest. When one of us is at our home in St. John’s and the other person isn’t there – that’s our place, that’s where we are together – so when the other person isn’t there, that’s when you miss them the most.”
Seamus O’Regan and Steve Doussis exemplify the strength of their partnership, navigating the complexities of a busy life with love and dedication. Their story is a testament to the resilience of relationships that thrive on shared experiences, understanding, and making the most of the time spent together, even in the midst of demanding careers and geographical distances.
