The couple quickly became inseparable. By January 2025, they were engaged, and by May, they exchanged vows in a private Laguna Beach ceremony. The newlyweds then jetted off to Hawaii with their children for a dreamy family honeymoon. But even after sunsets and sea turtles, the couple wasn’t done making memories. Their latest move has fans cheering them on even more.
