Randy Fenoli is off the dating market as he is currently engaged to his partner of 1 year, Mete Kobal. The star, known for his show Say Yes To The Dress, popped the big question on December 10, 2022 at the Marmara hotel in Manhattan, the same place they met in January 2022.
Currently 58 years old, Fenoli was also in a relationship with Michael Landry for 8 years but unfortunately the latter passed away in 2021 at the age of 52. Not much is known about his previous partners as he keeps his dating and personal life under wraps.
Relationship timeline of Randy Fenoli and Mete Kobal
Randy met video creator Mete at the Marmara Park Avenue hotel in January 2022. At the time, Kobal used to work as a bartender at the restaurant. According to Instagram, Randy Fenoli and Mete Kobal began dating soon after January and eventually met each other's family and friends in the following months.
The pair have been spotted at many events together since then. In December, Randy proposed to Mete at the Marmara in front of 50 members of their family and friends. Since Kobal is from Turkey, some of his family relatives were also on a Zoom video call.
In an interview with People, Randy said after the proposal,
"I'm the king of bridal. I've been doing this bridal for 30 years, and I honestly just never thought it was going to happen for me."
He also said that he was ready to stay single for the rest of his life before meeting Mete. The proposal had a special Turkish food station to celebrate Mete's heritage.
They have not decided on a date for the ceremony yet but it looks like they want to have a destination wedding. In an interview, Randy shared how they wanted to get married at the Princess Cruise Lines, which travels through Greece, Italy and ends in Istanbul.
Randy Fenoli said,
"I'm thinking that might be something where we might do a little ceremony in maybe Italy or on the ship or something and then we'll get to Istanbul. We can disembark and do a reception for all of his friends over there and his family."
Both of their Instagram posts often include their dog Chewy.
