Suarez and Piquet began dating in 2019, and after nearly spending three years together, they got engaged in November 2022. Later, the couple tied the knot in 2024 during the two-week Paris Olympics break.

"I guess we know who the favorite person is 😅 Julia can’t come to the phone right now… her hands are full 😅🐾"
In 2021, Daniel Suarez and his wife, Julia Piquet, donated $30,000 to the Humane Society of Charlotte after competing in the Coca-Cola charity event. He went to the Humane Society's existing shelter to meet the representatives who received the check from Coca-Cola on his behalf. He spent some time in the cat area, and Nicky was all over him, so the couple adopted the cat.
Daniel Suarez's wife shared a goofy moment with her husband from the Bowman Gray stadium
