You have provided a safe space in football, one that I never in my dreams thought could ever be possible, and encouraged me to live everyday of my life authentically. It felt right to share this special moment on the pitch, where it all started.”
Don Lemon & Tim Malone (married)
After being engaged for five years, Don Lemon and Tim Malone finally followed through and got married. The couple tied the knot on Apr. 6 in New City York. “I’m a last-minute person,” Lemon told People. “And most things I just don’t worry about.”
Lemon and Malone celebrated this milestone with a joint Instagram post of them holding their dogs. “Just married!” the post reads.
Daria Berenato & Toni Cassano (married)
Best known as a WWE superstar and Total Divas cast member, Daria Berenato got married to partner Toni Cassano in an intimate New Jersey wedding officiated by Maria Menounos on Feb. 10, as reported by People.
“I think we have two and a half tables or three tables of just WWE people," Berenato told the publication prior to their wedding ceremony. "We have our neighbors coming and old family friends, and so it's like this big wrestler next to my little neighbor. There's going to be some funny pairings there.”
Carter The Body & Nelli (engaged)
All the Queen's Men star Carter The Body got engaged to partner Nelli in February, announcing the proposal through a joint Instagram post that included a ring emoji.
“Jamaica, you owe us nothing!” Carter wrote in a subsequent Instagram video. “Thank you Jamaica, thank you #breathlessmontegobay! Y’all made a fiancé outta us!”
John Whaite & Paul Atkins (married)
After being partners for 16 years, The Great British Bake Off's John Whaite and partner Paul Atkins finally got married and announced their union in an Instagram post shared on Feb. 1. The Strictly Come Dancing star wrote, “Our big day in the Big Apple. Mr & Mr.”
Whaite then referenced a quote from former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy when same-sex marriage rights where made legal in the States, saying:
“No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”
Kameron Ross & Lio Botello (engaged)
On Jan. 22, America’s Got Talent alum Kameron Ross and Lio Botello revealed that they got engaged at Playa Zipolite in Mexico. Ross wrote in an Instagram post:
“Four years of love, laughter, and countless memories led to a magical moment on a Mexican beach. He said ‘Yes’ to being together forever. Here’s to our journey together!”
Botello also shared his own post, writing:
“[Kameron Ross] told me he was going to put a ring on my ring finger a week into dating. I was obsessed with this beautiful man that came into my life, straightened up the crown on my head while making me feel like I was living in a fairytale. I knew he was serious and couldn’t wait to be able to call him my ‘fiancé’ and now I can. You still give me butterflies.”
TJ House & Ryan Neitzel (married)
Out, gay, baseball player TJ House tied the knot with his partner Ryan Neitzel on Mar. 29. The couple announced their marriage in a joint Instagram post that read:
“It’s that can’t eat, can’t sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, World Series kind of love.”
