Reigning Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney is getting married this December. His fiancee Gianna Tulio recently took to her Instagram stories dressed in a dazzling white floral outfit as she shared a few photos from her bridal shower.
Tulio and Blaney have been dating for three years now. The couple got engaged in December 2023 and are planning on tying the knot exactly a year later. Tulio reshared a story uploaded by one of her acquaintances, which read:
"CELEBRATING THE FUTURE MRS. BLANEY @GIANNATULIO"
Born and brought up in Philadelphia, Tulio is a model by profession. She is a brand ambassador for Hooters, a renowned fast-food chain in the US with over 400 locations across 30 states. Tulio has been the front face of Hooters on several domestic and international ventures. She won the 'Most Photogenic Award' and was also crowned Miss Hooters in 2021.

While Tulio and her friends remain neck-deep in pre-wedding celebrations, Ryan Blaney prepares for the upcoming Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway tomorrow. Blaney qualified for the playoffs this year following his win in the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway in June.
In 33 starts, Blaney amassed nine top-5s and fifteen top-10s, leading 476 laps in all. Looking at the playoff picture now, the Team Penske driver sits inside the bubble, 47 points behind the provisional cutline.
Ryan Blaney drops health update following Las Vegas headache
Ryan Blaney received a hard hit on the driver's side of his No. 12 Ford Mustang due to its tire blowing up last week during practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The next day, he got involved in a multi-car wreck on lap 89 of the 267-lap main event and ultimately finished 32nd.
The series of impacts resulted in a terrible headache, which forced Blaney to ask for an Advil from his crew. According to RACER, Blaney said that the headache was "killing" him. However, Blaney felt alright when he spoke to the reporters at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
"I’m feeling all right," Ryan Blaney said. "Yeah, a couple of hard hits. I’ve had more hard hits than I’d like, especially recently in the last year and a half or so, two years. But I’m doing OK."
"Our team does a good job of doing all we can in the car to try to make sure we’re as safe as we can be, and there’s some other tweaks with the car that we’ve got to continue to work on. But I’m feeling all right," he added.
Blaney qualified 20th for tomorrow's race at Homestead. In his nine starts at the 1.5-mile oval-shaped intermediate speedway, Blaney owns two top-5s and a single top-12 and has led a combined 123 laps.
Sunday's race will start from 2:30 pm ET onwards. Fans can watch the event live on NBC or listen to radio updates on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
