When Ryan Blaney and Gianna got married in December 2024 in Aspen, Colorado, Bubba and Amanda attended the wedding. Amanda shared photos from the event, expressing how much they enjoyed the moments:
"Photo dump from our besties' wedding in Aspen! I am the most forgetful about taking photos, but best believe we enjoyed the moments 🤍"
Gianna shared an emotional response to Amanda's post, saying,
"Love ya'll so much 😟❤️"
Both Blaney and Wallace currently sit inside the top 10 in the 2025 NCS drivers' standings (P10 and P8, respectively).
Gianna shared what she learned after one month of marriage with Ryan Blaney
One month after tying the knot in December 2024, Ryan Blaney and Gianna appeared for an interview with a NASCAR news writer, Justin Schuoler. During the conversation, Gianna shared her feelings about the new chapter in their lives and what she has learned after a month of being married.
Gianna mentioned that, while not much has changed, she feels a greater sense of security since getting married. She shared that having Ryan Blaney as her husband has improved the stability and comfort in their relationship.
"I don't think I've learned anything in the first month. Not that I haven't learned anything; I just feel like everything feels the same, you know, like it's just security. I guess I feel more secure I have a husband. I've learned that, but I always felt secure," Gianna explained.
Ryan Blaney has had a difficult run of races in the past few weeks, including three back-to-back retirements in Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Homestead-Miami. Two of those retirements were the result of an engine failure in his #12 Team Penske Ford. However, he was able to get to the finish line in Martinsville with his third new engine and secured an 11th-place finish on Sunday, March 30.
