The fan favorite couple solidified their connection by tying the knot on June 18, 2016. They were surrounded by their friend and family for the same. In their vows, Heather poured her heart out and said:

"In a million years, I never imagined I’d be marrying someone I met on TV… Standing here today, I know it was more than a coincidence. It was destiny or fate that brought us together…Life will bring us challenges, but together, we are stronger and can face any obstacle that comes our way…”

Heather has been contributing her skills at Unisoft, while Miles serves as the President at Signal Signs and Graphics, a company specializing in printing services according to the couple's individual LinkedIn profiles.
