Around that same time supercoupleSharon and Nick Newman(Joshua Morrow) were splitting up for the umpteenth time.
Rey offered her support during this time and even convinced her to become a victim liaison for the GCPD.
He decided to leave his wife for good and immediately sought solace with Sharon, perSoap Dirt.
And thus their love story began.
Sharon was grateful for what he did and she and Rey reconciled.
Not long after, Rey’s ex-wife Mia Rosales informed Sharon that she was pregnant with Rey’s child.
Despite the fact that he was about to be a father with another woman, Sharon stayed with Rey.
Sharon and Rey moved in together and he bonded with her daughter Faith Newman (Mckenna Grace).
Rey was alarmed, but insisted that he had respect for Sharon and all that she had been through.
Then, Victor convinced Sharon to speak to Adam in hopes of jogging his memory.
His worries weren’t completely unfounded as Sharon did end up sleeping with Adam afterward.
Rey was even able to bond with Sharon’s ex-husband Nick Newman over their concern for Sharon’s well-being.
Adam took advantage of the situation and kissed Sharon one day before professing his love for her.
Rey accepted on the condition that she cut Adam off forever, to which she agreed.
Adam snuck his way into the ceremony but stayed hidden and refrained from causing a scene.
The newlyweds then honeymooned in Miami where they were able to visit with Rey’s extended family.
However, before the couple could make much progress, Rey became gravely ill. Before Rey could get his hooks into his nemesis, Adam had fled town.
Chelsea refused and warned Rey not to abandon his morals in his pursuit of vengeance.
He felt betrayed that she was trying to help the man who had tried to kill him.
However, Chelsea then faked a mental breakdown so she could be institutionalized rather than go to prison.

However, just as things started to settle into normalcy for the couple, tragedy struck.
When he forgot the tickets at home, Rey had to backtrack to go get them.
By the time help arrived, it was clear thatRey had died.
