The couple's journey began in 2013 and led to the birth of their first daughter in 2015. Despite a brief separation in 2016, they reconciled in 2017, became engaged in 2018, and welcomed their second daughter the same year.
They celebrated their union in March 2019, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
Chance had previously shared how they met at his mother's office party when he was nine.

Years later, the couple's romance culminated in marriage.
"16 years later, it's happening. This (weekend) is the time, and the place is my wedding. I'm going to dance with my wife because this is my destiny," he wrote overjoyed."
