“He’s the best,” Kelly told PEOPLE in June 2019 as the couple celebrated one year of marriage. “Once you have your person, it’s like, we’re together for real now.

It has forced me to look inward, so it’s overall just growth.”

He was born in Germany

Murillo was born in 1990 in Bremerhaven, Germany, though he attended school in the United States. After graduating in 2008, he attended college at Concordia University Irvine, before attending Biola University, a private Christian university located in Southern California. Per his bio on the school’s website, he majored in Biblical studies “with the goal of entering a career in ministry and playing professional basketball.”

Murillo played varsity on his high school’s basketball team, where he was named the team MVP and Sea View League MVP, per his bio on Biola University’s website. After playing basketball in college, he played for the Hamburg Towers and the Rostock Seawolves in Germany.

He and Tori Kelly got married in 2018

In May 2018, the couple announced via coordinate Instagram posts that they tied the knot.

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known & not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known & truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God,” Kelly captioned a wedding portrait, quoting the American theologian Tim Keller.

Kelly, who wore a custom pale ivory bridal gown by Galia Lahav, added, “thank you to everyone who made this the most magical day ever. i’m floating. brb.”

He and Tori Kelly are dog parents

After tying the knot, Kelly and Murillo expanded their family in April 2019 with the addition of their adorable toy poodle, Frodo Murillo-Baggins. “We’re like a little family now, so it’s fun,” Kelly told PEOPLE about the puppy. “He’s amazing.”

They later got a puppy named Dobby Murillo Potter, who they introduced on Instagram in June 2020.

The couple has given many glimpses of their fur babies and each dog has their own Instagram account.

He’s super supportive of Tori Kelly’s career

Upon the release of her single "missin u" in March, Kelly spoke to PEOPLE about her relationship with Murillo. "He's the best. He's the most supportive," she said of her husband. "It's been awesome to have him."

She also opened up about how he's been championing her latest foray into a Y2K-inspired sound: "I'll ask him what he thinks about things and get his opinion on stuff. He grew up on '90s R&B, so he's super stoked about all the new stuff."

He was by Tori Kelly's side when she was hospitalized for blood clots

After collapsing at dinner on July 23, 2023, Kelly was hospitalized to treat blood clots. Murillo seemingly told fans that he was taking good care of his wife when he posted a clip of Kelly singing the powerful lyrics from her verse on Justin Bieber's "Where Do I Fit In."

"When I'm all alone and fear is all I see / Sittin' in the silence with these insecurities / And then you remind me, you're holdin' me tight / And you love me completely, you're always by my side," she could be heard singing in the video on Instagram.

A couple days later, Murillo provided his followers with a health update.

“Tori is smiling again and feeling stronger,” he wrote on Instagram. “Not out of the woods but we see the sun. Just waiting on a few more answers."
