Drew Taggart, one-half of the Grammy-winning electronic music duo The Chainsmokers, married model Marianne Fonseca in a private beachfront ceremony in Costa Rica, the musician announced.
Taggart shared a short video on Instagram showing the newlyweds celebrating on the beach at sunset, with Fonseca jumping into his arms as two horses walked nearby. “WE ARE MARRIED!” he wrote in the caption, confirming the news to fans and followers.
The wedding marks a major personal milestone for Taggart, 35, who rose to global fame as part of The Chainsmokers alongside Alex Pall. Known for chart-topping hits like “Closer” and “Don’t Let Me Down,” Taggart has often kept his personal life relatively private. His marriage to Fonseca brings that quieter chapter into focus.
According to E! News, the couple opted for a small and intimate celebration, choosing Costa Rica for its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere. The ceremony reflected the couple’s preference for meaningful moments over spectacle, a value that has shaped their relationship.
From Surprise Proposal to Wedding Bells
Taggart announced his engagement to Fonseca in December 2024. He shared photos on Instagram from a candlelit proposal at Giorgio Baldi, a well-known Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, California. The images showed rose petals scattered across the table and Fonseca smiling as she displayed her engagement ring.
At the time, People magazine reported that the proposal came as a complete surprise to Fonseca. She believed she was heading out for a casual evening with friends before arriving at the restaurant to find Taggart waiting. Close friends and family later joined the couple to celebrate the engagement.
Fonseca, a Brazilian model, has spoken publicly about valuing emotional connection and shared goals in a relationship. In interviews cited by People, she emphasized the importance of building a partnership rooted in trust and mutual respect, rather than public attention.
The couple first met in early 2023 and gradually made their relationship public later that year. While Taggart’s dating history has occasionally drawn headlines, his relationship with Fonseca remained notably low-key, with the pair sharing selective glimpses of their life on social media.
A New Chapter for the Chainsmokers Star
The wedding comes as The Chainsmokers maintain a strong presence in the music industry more than a decade after forming in New York City. The duo has transitioned from electronic dance music favorites to mainstream pop hitmakers. They have earned major awards, headlined festivals, and reached billions of streams worldwide.
For Taggart, marriage signals a shift toward balance between professional success and personal fulfillment. Fans and fellow musicians flooded his social media with congratulatory messages following the announcement, celebrating both the milestone and the joy evident in the couple’s wedding video.
