Blake Horstmann and Giannina Gibelli have officially found their happily ever after beyond and away from the reality TV cameras.
The Bachelorette alum, 37, and the Love Is Blind alum, 33, tied the knot during an intimate wedding in Croatia on Saturday, June 20, surrounded by alums from both reality franchises, including Jason Tartick, Astrid Loch, Alexa Lemieux, Colleen Reed and Raven Ross.
Horstmann and Gibelli began dating in December 2021 after costarring on season 1 of the Paramount+ series All Star Shore. Us Weekly confirmed in January 2022 that the couple were officially an item, though they initially had to keep their romance under wraps since the reality show hadn’t premiered yet.
“We had to first keep basically six months of our relationship private, so that was fun in a sense because we didn’t have the public pressure, we didn’t have all the eyes on us, we could just kind of be ourselves,” Horstmann exclusively told Us in October 2022. “But it was hard too because it’s never fun to hide the person you love.”
Horstmann also revealed one of the keys to his and Gibelli’s relationship was their ability to communicate.
“We both handle conflict incredibly well,” he explained. “I’ve never had a relationship where, you know, if you’re in a fight … or conflict, instead of holding grudges or doing whatever, we talk it out. Or even if it’s, we’re not able to talk [it] out now, we go to separate rooms, we cool down and we come back and we talk it out. It’s kind of the first time too where we don’t have the same fight over and over because we’re able to talk it out and we get over it and we come to a conclusion, if you will.”
After nearly two years together, Horstmann and Gibelli announced in November 2023 that they were expecting their first baby. The duo welcomed their son, Heath, in March 2024.
Reality TV brings people together with many personalities finding love (or at least a hookup) with other reality TV stars. Bravolebrities, for example, are no strangers to crossover hookups. In August 2019, Southern Charmers Craig Conover, Shep Rose and Austen Kroll visited the cast of Summer House at their Hamptons home. During their visit, which […]
Later that year, Gibelli hinted at the couple’s plans to eventually expand their family.
“I want the whole basketball team. I really do,” she exclusively told Us in August 2024. “I literally popped him out and I was like, ‘Let’s do it again!’”
Horstmann ultimately proposed to Gibelli during an October 2024 trip to Madrid, Spain.
“Our love story has been everything I’ve always dreamt it would be and more,” she told People the following month. “As soon as I met Blake, I knew he was my soulmate and I know the universe was always leading me to him. Being together forever and creating our family is literally the joy of my life.”
Some Bachelor and Bachelorette stars had more luck in the love department outside the reality dating series, finding their forever without the prying eyes of cameras. Ali Fedotowsky and Peter Kraus are among the alums who found The One after appearing on the show. “I went on the show for a good time. I didn’t […]
Horstmann, for his part, gushed: “We are over the moon and we can’t wait to be married in front of our loved ones.”
Gibelli and Horstmann confirmed in July 2025 that they were planning a destination wedding for the summer of 2026.
“I’m a very small and intimate kind of gal. Also, it’s far away,” she exclusively told Us at the time. “So you know who your people are. Whoever’s going to show up, I know you’re my people!”
Horstmann chimed in, “I think we’re going to invite a decent amount, but I think it’s going to end up being kind of an intimate, intimate [thing], it’s going to be fun.”
