He wrote along with a profile image he shared in August: “I have my ups and downs, but I’m built for this shit.”

Sharp is a one-time actress who appeared in the film “Teen Wolf 2,” but didn’t pursue acting as a career and remained out of the spotlight.
There were tabloid rumors that Sharp met Perry after sending him lingerie as a fan, but Luke denied that, saying that they met in a restaurant. “It’s that simple,” he said, according to People.
During the years together, Luke and Rachel lived on what Luke called “an old house on one acre.”
The couple had two children together, Jack (born: June 15th, 1997) and Sophie (born June 7th, 2000). After they divorced, Perry and Sharp shared joint custody of their children.
