“Introducing Mr. & Mr. Grande‼️ Yup! We’re MARRIED! Surprise!,” his caption began. “Hale and I were married at a small intimate galactic ceremony in my family home in Florida on May the 4th be with you, cause we really are both that nerdy.” According to the Big Brother alum, the pair exchanged vows in front of their “immediate families and before God.” The ceremony was officiated by his mother, Joan Grande.
