Savage and Angermeier announced in May that they were expecting their first child, posting a photo on Instagram of them holding up a sonogram with the caption, “Arriving this fall.”

Savage and Angermeier first got together in 2018, with the Girl Meets World alum hard-launching their relationship on social media in August 2018. In January 2023, Savage announced their engagement with a shot of his bride-to-be wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger, writing that “the best is yet to come.”

The couple then tied the knot at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., in March 2023.
