Ryan Blaney's now-wife, Gianna Tulio, has made her feelings known about her marriage. Tulio expressed how happy she was getting married with her dream win, wishing everyone would experience a love like theirs.
Blaney is a 30-year-old NASCAR Cup Series driver under Team Penske. He tied the knot with Tulio on December 12 in Aspen, Colorado, after dating for over four years.
Gianna Tulio took to Instagram and shared a heartfelt admission about her married life.
"Now I understand when people say 'Your wedding will be the best night of your life,'" Tulio wrote.
She added, feeling lucky to marry Blaney, who she considers her best friend, dream man, and the funniest person.
I will forever say I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have married my best friend, dream man, and funniest person I know all in one. I hope everyone gets to experience a love like ours," Tulio said.
Tulio posted the heartfelt message with some snaps from the wedding day. About 150 to 200 people attended the event, including Blaney's long-time buddies and fellow NASCAR drivers Chase Elliott and Bubba Wallace.
The year was 2018 when Ryan Blaney and Gianna Tulio met in Las Vegas. Blaney raced at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, while Tulio had a modeling gig with Hooters. Two years later, the couple publicized their romantic relationship.
The Ohio-born driver proposed to Tulio in December 2023 after he won the NASCAR Cup Series championship.
The couple planned to stay at home with their animals this NASCAR off-season. They will celebrate their honeymoon around Easter in April while the season is underway.
"Ryan really helps calm my nerves": Gianna Tulio expressed affection for now-husband Ryan Blaney
In an interview with People Magazine, Ryan Blaney's now-wife, Gianna Tulio, spoke fondly of the NASCAR driver. She said Blaney makes her feel calm and relaxed, adding that they embrace and find joy in their differences.
Tulio told People Magazine:
"Ryan really helps calm my nerves. I'm most relaxed in the morning, sipping my coffee with him, so we decided to read our vows privately to one another [...] The thing we love most about each other is all the things we have in common. Then, the things we don't have in common, we find joy in those differences and embrace our differences."
She shared that the wedding in Aspen was everything she ever dreamt of as a little girl.
"It was everything I have ever dreamt of as a little girl for a wedding … the most magical night of my life," Tulio added.
