2026 Celebrity Weddings: Hunter King, Brooke Hyland and More Stars Who Said I Do

Valentine's Day 2026 turned out to be one of the busiest wedding days in recent celebrity history, and the nuptials kept coming well into February. From courthouse ceremonies in Florida to Dance Moms reunions on the dance floor, the first months of 2026 delivered a genuinely charming wave of celebrity love stories, each with its own distinct personality.

Vanna White and John Donaldson

The year opened with a milestone for television royalty. Wheel of Fortune's Vanna White rang in the new year with a wedding to her now-husband, John Donaldson, making her one of the first stars to walk down the aisle in 2026. No venue or guest list details have been confirmed, but the timing felt fitting for a woman who has spent decades turning letters on national television: a quiet, private beginning to a new chapter.

Elizabeth Weber and Gianni Settino

Just two weeks into January, Love Island USA season 1 winner Elizabeth Weber married Gianni Settino on January 15 in a courthouse ceremony in Naples, Florida. Weber kept the announcement refreshingly unfiltered, posting portraits from the day on Instagram with the caption "Courthouse official!!!!" She followed it up with a clear hint that a larger celebration is on the horizon: "Summer 2026 can't come soon enough." The courthouse-to-summer-party pipeline is having a moment, and Weber is doing it with exactly the right energy.

Iyanna McNeely and Alex Lewis

Two days later, on January 17, Love Is Blind season 2 alum Iyanna McNeely married her fiancé Alex Lewis in what was described as a dreamy Chicago ceremony. McNeely's journey to the altar has been anything but linear: she was previously married to Jarrette Jones, whom she met on Love Is Blind season 2, before the couple divorced in 2022. This time around, McNeely's words to People carried the weight of hard-won perspective. "It's not quite a dream come true, but a new beginning because life together is the dream come true," she said. It's the kind of quote that earns its place on a wedding card.

Will Reeve and Amanda Dubin

Also on January 17, ABC News journalist Will Reeve, the son of the late Christopher Reeve, married Amanda Dubin, with People reporting the nuptials. Dubin's announcement was brief and perfectly calibrated: three days after the wedding, on January 20, she posted a single word on her Instagram Stories alongside a photo of the couple: "Husband." Sometimes one word is enough.

Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson

February brought one of the season's most talked-about ceremonies when Stranger Things star Maya Hawke said "I do" to longtime boyfriend and musician Christian Lee Hutson in a surprise Valentine's Day ceremony on February 14. People obtained wedding pictures confirming the date, though the venue and guest list remain private. The pairing of one of Hollywood's most quietly stylish young actresses with an indie singer-songwriter made for a wedding that felt entirely in keeping with both of their aesthetics: intimate, unexpected, and resolutely unannounced.

Hunter King and Chris Copier

The other Valentine's Day wedding of 2026 belongs to Hallmark star Hunter King and Chris Copier, and it may be the most memorable venue choice of the year. King didn't share the news until March 6, when she posted on Instagram to reveal that the two had married at Medieval Times. The caption was perfectly in character: "Long ago, (on Valentine's Day) we said I do in front of the realm (our families)," she wrote. "We celebrated (at Medieval Times) well into the night (9pm). The end⚔️🏰 ." Jousting, a castle setting, and a sword emoji as punctuation: it's the kind of wedding story that practically writes itself, and King told it with exactly the right amount of tongue-in-cheek theatrics.

Brooke Hyland and Brian Thalman

The final wedding in this early-2026 wave belonged to Dance Moms alum Brooke Hyland, who married her longtime love Brian Thalman on February 21. The ceremony doubled as a Dance Moms mini-reunion, with Kendall Vertes, Kenzie Ziegler, Chloe Lukasiak, Nia Sioux, and Kalani Hilliker all in attendance, according to photos shared via Instagram. For anyone who grew up watching that particular group of young dancers navigate the pressures of competitive performance, seeing them gather for Hyland's wedding day carries a certain sweetness that no choreography could replicate.

What unites this eclectic group of 2026 newlyweds is a refreshing lack of spectacle. Courthouse portraits, Instagram reveals days after the fact, surprise ceremonies with no advance notice: this wave of celebrity weddings feels genuinely personal rather than produced. Whether that reflects a broader cultural shift away from the maximalist wedding-as-content era or simply the preferences of this particular group of couples, the result is a set of love stories that feel more human than headline.
