Ryan Blaney’s wife Gianna Tulio took to Instagram and shared a few glimpses of how she was spending Christmas Eve in Aspen. Notably, it’s her first Christmas as Blaney’s wife and Tulio’smi attire spoke heavily of her mirth.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Gianna Tulio is a professional model who has worked for Hooters on both domestic and international levels. In 2021, she was named Miss Hooters International and won the Most Photogenic Award. Tulio was also the Hooters Calendar Cover Girl in 2022.
Tulio married Blaney, her longtime boyfriend, on December 12, 2024, at Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado. The event was themed, “Winter Enchantment: A Candlelit Aspen Affair.” Several NASCAR stars like Chase Elliott, Daniel Hemric, Bubba Wallace, and NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. showed up at the wedding.
Tulio recently posted,
“Merry Christmas Eve.”
Tulio has been seen cheering for Blaney on countless occasions. Ahead of the decisive playoff race at Martinsville Speedway, which Blaney ultimately won, she held her then-fiancé in a warm embrace. Tulio got her hands on the photos and later posted them on social media.
Blaney is a third-generation driver who currently drives the No. 12 Ford Mustang for Team Penske. Last season, he ended up second in points, closely missing out on the Championship title despite making the final four for the second straight year.
As of today, Blaney has 13 wins in the Cup Series, seven in Xfinity and four in Truck. He also won the prestigious NASCAR All-Star race in 2022.
Gianna Tulio penned heartfelt note following Ryan Blaney’s Cup Series win in 2023
Ryan Blaney has been racing in the Cup Series since 2015 and started as a part-timer with Wood Brothers Racing. He won his maiden championship in 2023 and Gianna Tulio lauded him on his triumph.
“I never had any doubts in you and never will. You made history and I’m so honored I was able to be there for you & watch you fight for it," she said.
Blaney wasn’t able to defend his title this year, but he did put up a strong season highlighted by three wins, seven top-5s, and 13 top-10s. The Hartford, Ohio native, will return for his eighth full season with Team Penske on February 2, 2025.
That’s when the season-opening clash will be held at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, Oklahoma. The 200-lap exhibition event will start 8 pm ET onwards. Fans can watch Blaney in action on FOX or listen to live radio updates on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
