On the morning of their wedding, the couple relocated their ceremony from the beach to a palm-covered cove due to heavy winds. The groom described his wife’s vows as “incredibly touching” but declined to share more. Their wedding weekend coincided with a full moon \u2014 just as it had during their engagement.
\n $\"\"$ The groom, once part of a highly publicized Hollywood marriage, recently remarried in a private ceremony kept under wraps until photos from the event began to circulate. His new union, however, first took shape under unusual circumstances \u2014 after a ring unexpectedly changed hands on the very night he met his future wife.\n

Their recent wedding, held at a remote hotel in Mexico, not only marked a personal milestone but also prompted a swift and personal reaction from his well-known former spouse. The details behind the couple’s first meeting, their engagement abroad, and the carefully planned celebration are now coming to light.\n

A Cold Night, Misplaced Ring, and a Joke That Stuck
\nThe couple first met in 2022 at a private party hosted at The Nines, a bar in Lower Manhattan. They were introduced by actor Louisa Jacobson, a mutual friend. After the event, a small group went out for drinks nearby on what the bride later recalled as an unusually cold night \u2014 temperatures had dropped to about six degrees.\n
**$\"\"$ \n**
During that outing, he offered her his gloves, which she wore and returned once they were back inside. The following morning, he sent her a text message reading “This yours?” along with a photo. In the image, he was holding a criss-crossed diamond ring that had slipped off her finger into his glove.\n
“[Justin] likes to joke that I proposed first, the very first night we met,” she explained, noting she had assumed the ring was lost. He added that at the time, he believed leaving the ring behind was intentional.\n
“I for sure thought leaving the ring in my glove was a move,” he said. “Which now, knowing Nicole as well as I do, it certainly was not.” The groom also recalled being drawn to her immediately, even before knowing her name.\n
He pointed her out across the room to his friend Rassi, who took one look and said, “She is the one.” He later asked Rassi to retrieve her name for him, having forgotten to get it during their initial conversation.\n
**Their relationship continued to develop in private, leading to a turning point a year and a half later during a trip abroad that ended with an engagement under the moonlight.\n**
A Rainy Arrival, a Blue Moon, and a Waterfront Proposal
\nAbout a year and a half after they began dating, the couple traveled to Italy, where the proposal took place. Their destination was Hotel Il Pellicano, located along the coast of Monte Argentario. Upon arrival, they were jet-lagged, and the weather was overcast with rain clouds.\n
**$\"\"$ \n**
Despite considering skipping dinner that evening, they chose to eat at the hotel’s restaurant and, during that meal, had what she described as a “really poignant conversation” by candlelight. As they talked, a full blue moon appeared in the sky, catching them both by surprise.\n
They decided to take their drinks down to the water to enjoy the moment, and he briefly returned to their room under the pretense of retrieving towels. In reality, he went to collect the engagement ring. Once they were at the water’s edge, under the moonlight, he proposed.\n
“He said some of the most beautiful things,” she recalled. “It was wonderful \u2014 we were both crying.” By August 2024, news of their engagement became public. The bride was seen wearing a large diamond ring during the world premiere of “Beetlejuice,” sparking speculation.\n
Shortly after, it was confirmed that the groom had proposed during their trip to Italy. In the months that followed, the couple made plans for a private destination wedding and returned to a location in Mexico that already held special meaning for them.\n

\nThe couple were married in March 2025 at Hotel Esencia in Xpu H\u00e1, Mexico \u2014 a venue they had previously visited in February 2024. They chose the location for its seclusion, natural beauty, and proximity to the ocean, describing it as peaceful and uniquely suited to their desire for a private celebration with family and friends.\n
