The couple tied the knot in September 2025, and in November, Mackz shared highlights from their wedding on Instagram, saying, “A quick running break on marathon weekend for a few photos from one of our favorite weekends.” She added, “Love you so much, can’t wait to grow our family together 🩵.” Mackz has previously shared with Us Weekly about her journey in creating a platform for running and interviewing notable figures like Lindsay Hubbard, Jason Derulo, Julianne Hough, Tim Gunn, and others.

“We’ve completed over 300 interviews, creating countless unforgettable moments and experiencing amazing places through our shows,” she reminisced. “My first major collaboration was with Bobby Flay; we ran together along the West Side Highway and then cooked pasta together. Since then, the adventures have only increase.”
