“We’ve decided to move on from our marriage, but we will stay best friends and collaborators for all our days. We are still ride or die, just in a different way now. I love you always, Riley.”

In April of 2022, the pair married with a source telling People: “It was a small wedding for family and close friends.
“They had an outdoor ceremony. It was lovely and joyful. The menu was farm-to-table. They are an adorable couple.
“They are pretty low-key and like their canyon life. They often hike and go to the beach.”
