Ryan Blaney and Gianna Tulio have been together since 2020. They first met in Las Vegas in 2018 and began dating two years later. In 2023, after Blaney won his first Cup Series championship, he proposed to Tulio on a snow-covered bridge in Leavenworth, Washington. The couple married exactly one year later on December 12, 2024, in Aspen, Colorado.

The wedding date wasn’t random; their engagement and wedding were held on December 12, a tribute to the No. 12 car Ryan Blaney drives for Team Penske.

“It just feels more secure” - Gianna Tulio reflected on early married life with Ryan Blaney

In an earlier interview with NASCAR journalist Justin Schuoler, Gianna Tulio opened up about how life has changed after marrying Ryan Blaney. The couple, who tied the knot in December 2024, completed their first month of marriage in February. Reflecting on the experience, Tulio shared what she’d learned so far.

When asked by Schuoler if she had learned anything new in the first month, Tulio responded candidly, saying:

"I don't think I've learned anything in the first month. Not that I haven't learned anything; I just feel like everything feels the same, you know, like it's just security. I guess I feel more secure I have a husband. I've learned that, but I always felt secure."

She stressed that the biggest difference has been emotional reassurance. According to Tulio, marriage didn’t drastically change how their relationship feels, but it added a sense of stability.
