If ‘Home and Away’ is your favorite binge, you must be gleeful to acknowledge Penny McNamee, aka Tori Morgan’s fairy tale romance off the screen. It’s the opposite. Tori Morgan is afraid of commitment, while Penny McNamee believes love leads to one’s dreamland.
She is in blissful conjugal life with her husband, Matt Tooker, who is her high school sweetheart. When relationships have lost their identities in short-term fling and fear of commitment, Penny McNamee and Matt Tooker prove faith in love as in the movie script.

In 1999, they fell for one another at a school musical camp. She found him dreamy while he was playing the French horn in the orchestra. The actress revived her old reminiscence when she first met Matt in the late nineties to New Idea.
“It was 1999 at our school music camp. I’d just moved to the school, Matt was in the orchestra playing the French horn – if it can get any nerdier – and I was in the choir,”
“I adored him off the bat. I was a ridiculous 16-year-old girl who totally thought he was dreamy.”
What Matt thought of Penny, back in those days?
He couldn’t halt those high school memoirs and revealed Penny “was confident and bubbly.”

Penny McNamee didn’t hold back saying ‘I do’ in 2009. Perhaps, she didn’t want to lose Matt, whom she decided to part ways while they were only eighteen. The decision was mutual since both of them desired to live different parts of their life, including travel and study. It was a heart-wrenching moment, but they broke off their relationship after two years of going out.
“We were only 19 and we both knew we had to go off and live our lives – we wanted to study and travel,”
“Even though we really did love each other, we decided to break up, which was heartbreaking.”
Well, Penny and Matt are destined for love. They reunited. In case, they faced the hurdles together-be it a revamping an old house or getting back at the financial or career tropes; they stood for one another. Last year, she wrote heart-warming words on her tenth-wedding anniversary with her husband, Matt, who is active in the marketing field.
“I do to… Renovating a terrible house. Moving to New York for 4 years with no money, no visas and no friends. Quitting steady jobs to chase dreams and start a business. Financially supporting each other when the chips were down. Navigating infertility together. Getting up to babies in the night. Laughing our faces off at jokes only we get. Asking and learning how to love each other better. Every day.”

What’s the secret recipe behind the successful relationship? The ‘Home and Away’ actress, Penny, revealed teasingly in an Instagram post during Matt’s 38th birthday in July that the partner had to improvise themselves day by day, even better if it’s a haircut.
“… Happy Birthday my love, you just keep getting better. Particularly your haircuts,”
Today, they are parents to three-year-old son Jack and one-year-old daughter Neve.
