Anyone who watched the show within the Nineties probably remembers its star, Jaleel White. The 47-year-old has long since abandoned her Steve Urkel/Stefan Urquelle persona from the Nineties and has recently gained a brand new title – husband. The actor married Nicoletta Ruhl on May 4 on the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. His recent wife heads business development at sports technology and gaming company StatusPro.
“It was important that all the people who impact our daily lives were present and that each of them had a good time and felt like they were part of something intimate and meaningful,” Ruhl told PEOPLE of their wedding day. Their wedding was attended by 175 guests.
The newlyweds first met throughout the pandemic on the UCLA track, where they each trained. They kicked off their relationship on Instagram during New Year’s Eve 2022. Ruhl posted photos of individuals cuddling while celebrating the New Year. They made their red carpet debut as a pair in 2022 on the premiere of White’s Netflix film. Although this is his first marriage, he has a 14-year-old daughter named Samaya. She also appeared on the red carpet on the film’s 2022 premiere.
Recalling their wedding day, the actor told the publication, “I felt like a prince.”
To ensure their big day left a long-lasting impression on guests, the couple added details like five-star food and three different DJs with sets at different times of the day.
During an interview with PEOPLE, the couple reflected on what marriage means to them. White stated that this implies: “Each of us has made a commitment to love each other and to help each other achieve the best possible results in everything we set our minds to, both personally and professionally.”
Ruhl confirmed this, adding that they’ve good intentions and are letting things unfold naturally.
“We don’t rush anything and we always have sincere intentions towards each other,” she added. “We both fully believe that if you force something, it won’t bring the best result, and that’s why we’ve seen so many blessings in our lives together so far.”
