The two proposed to each other on the same day: “I was going to try and do some big elaborate proposal, but that’s not really us, and I just wanted it to be genuine,” Blonsky said.

“And so we were just hanging out watching TV in bed one night, and the ring was burning a hole in my pocket. My pants were on fire.”

“So I pull out a ring and then Hailey pulls out a ring, and then we all started screaming,” Blonsky added.

“It was super special,” Blonsky says of the intimate ceremony. “That was the main thing, all I knew was that I wanted to marry Hailey. As long as Hailey showed up, we were good to go. Hailey and the person who was going to marry us.”

“Just being together every day [is my favourite part of being married],” Blonsky continued. 

“Talking about everything, but also just being there for each other, and getting to experience things together. And I learned so much from Hailey, because I come from the entertainment world, and Hailey comes from aerospace. So they’re the super smart one. And it’s just so nice to just talk to somebody who’s not in my game, but who supports me and vice versa.”

The couple live together with their dog, Charlie.
