Who Is Dane Cook's Wife? All About Kelsi Taylor

The couple first met during a game night and recently got married in O’ahu, Hawaii

Dane Cook is married to longtime girlfriend Kelsi Taylor.

The couple tied the knot in O’ahu, Hawaii, in front of 20 guests in September.

“We chose Hawaii because it has such a special place in our hearts and our relationship,” Cook told PEOPLE. “It was one of the first trips we ever went on together and we continue to go back often. It’s such an oasis, and we couldn’t be more excited to have spent our wedding week surrounded by the beauty of Oahu.”

After meeting during a game night held at Cook's house, the couple dated for five years before the comedian popped the question in July 2022, at York Beach, Maine.

While Cook is well-known for his roles in Good Luck Chuck and My Best Friend's Girl, here's everything to know about his wife.

She's a Pilates instructor

As listed on her Instagram bio, Taylor is a certified Pilates and TRX instructor and regularly posts her workouts online. Additionally, she is a certified food therapist and nutritionist, often sharing glimpses of her healthy lifestyle on social media.

She's a singer

Taylor is also a musician, having performed background vocals for Grammy nominees such as Demi Lovato and Little Big Town. She has also shared a number of singing videos on her YouTube account, including covers of songs by Imogen Heap and Sam Smith. Her 2018 music video for her original song "Hours" was directed and produced by Cook.

She's from Nevada

In a video shared on her YouTube account, Taylor revealed that she's from a small town in Nevada but moved to California when she was 12 to pursue a career in music.

She graduated high school at an early age

During her YouTube video, she also revealed that she graduated from high school early, at age 16. She ended up taking a few college classes before eventually dropping out of college to pursue her career full-time.

She and Dane Cook first met during a game night at his house

During an Instagram Story Q&A about their relationship, Cook revealed that he first met Taylor during a game night that he hosted at his house. "We were friends for a while and soon after fell in like with each other and then upgraded to love."

She has two dogs with Dane Cook

Cook and Taylor share two fur babies together, a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Ripley and another dog named Chopper. They each have their own Instagram accounts, which share regular updates on the dogs.

She doesn't mind if Dane Cook makes jokes at her expense

Taylor pre-approved all Cook's material (that related to her) for his stand-up special Dane Cook: Above It All. And she has no issue with the comedian poking fun at their 27-year age difference.

"We have a bit of an age difference, so it's in the show," Cook told E! News. "If we can't laugh at it, then nobody else is allowed."

The Employee of the Month star also has marriage jokes in the bank — which Taylor was fully prepared for.

"I was just trying some material out on her the other day where I was like, 'Hey, I think I have maybe my first what it's like to be married joke,'" Cook said. "So, she got the exclusive. We tried it out and she said, 'I approve of that. That's a good one.' "

Their engagement destination had a special meaning

The comedian popped the question on July 13, 2022, at York Beach, Maine, a place that holds special meaning for the couple.

"When we started dating, we went there on our first trip together, so to return five years later was meaningful to us," Cook told PEOPLE exclusively.

"It's a place I spent much time in growing up so I have such fond memories there. After my mother passed away, she asked me and my siblings to release her at her favorite spot, the breathtaking location, at the tip of Cape Neddick Point, Nubble Lighthouse, where our vacation cottage is located. It felt like the right place."

Taylor added that the engagement came as such a shock to her and was a "pinch-me moment ... I hugged my mom and couldn't wait to FaceTime the rest of my family and share the news. My family loves him so much, so they were beyond excited for us."

She and Dane Cook got married in September 2023

On Sept. 23, the couple said "I do" at a private estate in O’ahu, Hawaii, in front of 20 guests.

“We chose Hawaii because it has such a special place in our hearts and our relationship,” Cook told PEOPLE. “It was one of the first trips we ever went on together and we continue to go back often. It’s such an oasis, and we couldn’t be more excited to have spent our wedding week surrounded by the beauty of Oahu.”

When it came to deciding on vows, Taylor joked there was only one option. “We went for traditional vows — because to be perfectly honest, I had a feeling that Dane would totally outshine my speech,” she says with a laugh. “He has the best way with words, and I knew I wouldn’t even be able to match up to his delivery. I also really just wanted to keep our more intimate vows private and to give him a handwritten letter the morning of.”
