Love Finds Its Way to Croatia

Giannina Gibelli, famed for her stint on 'Love Is Blind,' and 'Bachelor' alum Blake Horstmann have embarked on a new chapter of their love story. On June 20, the pair shared an intimate and enchanting wedding ceremony in Rovinj, Croatia, surrounded by 100 of their nearest and dearest. The sun-drenched coastal town set the perfect backdrop for what Giannina described as a day that "exceeded every single expectation." In a heartfelt Instagram post on June 22, she gushed about the perfection and meaningfulness of their weeklong celebration.

"People say your wedding is the best day of your life and we can say with the most certainty and love in our hearts that it exceeded every single expectation," Giannina expressed, basking in the afterglow of their magical day.

A Love Story That Captivates

The couple's journey to the altar has been as captivating as a Hollywood rom-com. Just seven months ago, Giannina and Blake welcomed their first child, son Heath. And on October 30, beneath the golden hues of a Madrid sunset, Blake proposed with an exquisite 4.87-carat diamond ring that left Giannina saying "yes" even before the box opened.

Blake, who captured hearts as a runner-up on Becca Kufrin's season of 'The Bachelorette' in 2018, didn't need much convincing that Giannina was the one. "As soon as I met Blake, I knew he was my soulmate and I know the universe was always leading me to him," Giannina shared, echoing the sentiments of a true LA-style love story.

Past Relationships and New Beginnings

Giannina's romantic history has its share of twists, including a memorable proposal and breakup with Damian Powers on 'Love Is Blind.' But it seems the universe had other plans, and Blake was destined to be her true partner. Since making their relationship public in June 2022, the couple's love has grown organically, unbothered by the rush of celebrity whirlwind engagements.

In a candid moment with E! News, Giannina once reflected, "I'm definitely not uncomfortable talking about being engaged to him or just spending the rest of my life with them." It's clear this power couple is ready to embrace whatever the City of Angels and beyond has in store.
