In a new PEOPLE exclusive Jaleel White is married!
The Family Matters alum and author, 47, — whose new book ‘Growing Up Urkel’ comes out Nov. 19 — said “I do” to tech executive Nicoletta Ruhl at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles on May 4.
After exchanging vows, (this is White’s first marriage) Ruhl and the actor, who is dad to 14-year-old daughter Samaya, celebrated with their guests including Omar Miller, Lamorne Morris, Adam Ray, Hannah Stocking, Mekhi Phifer, Alyson Felix, Camilla Belle and Sina Sadighi over a dinner of filet mignon and branzino with vegetables.
White and Ruhl —who swam at Yale as an undergrad and received her business degree from Stanford Graduate School of Business —first met during the pandemic when they both worked out at UCLA’s track.
The sports technology business executive debuted their relationship on Instagram on New Year’s Day in 2022, sharing photos of the pair cuddled up together as they celebrated the holiday. “New year, same peeps ????,” she captioned the post.
In June of that same year, the two stepped out together publicly to attend the premiere of White’s movie Hustle where they were joined by the actor’s daughter.
For the newlyweds, marriage means that “we’ve each committed ourselves to loving and helping one another achieve the best possible outcome in anything we set out to do both personally and professionally,” says White.
Congratulations to them!
