Cody and Cristie announced in September 2025 that they were expecting their first child together after tying the knot in February 2024. At the time, the couple shared maternity photos that showed Cristie holding up sonogram images while exposing her baby bump in a pair of low-rise jeans. “Next chapter starting 2026,” they wrote at the time.

The couple first met at a bar on the Fourth of July back in 2015 and got engaged seven years later, in October 2022, in a romantic sunset proposal at Riverside Gardens Park in Red Bank, N.J.

In February 2024, the duo tied the knot in New Jersey, saying “I do” at Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury and celebrating with 200 of their loved ones.
