"She asked me, 'Are you sure you want to do this? I understand if you want us to just be friends.' And then I said, 'You know what? Screw it'," he recalled.

Benny added, "We're lucky because we both have friends and family we've known since before all this, and we're surrounded by a good group of people we love."

After dating for two years, the spouses wed in Santa Barbara on September 27, 2025, with an intimate, A-list ceremony that was attended by Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, and Camila Cabello.
