Katie Stevens and Paul DiGiovanni Married in 2019
Katie and Paul tied the knot in October 2019 after nearly six years together, as reported by People.
The former Boys Like Girls guitarist even surprised Katie during their wedding reception with a special video from Ben Rector. “Our first dance was to ‘I Will Always Be Yours’ by Ben Rector. When we went out for our first dance, Paul surprised me with a video from Ben on the TV screen,” Katie previously told the outlet.
“Paul asked him if he could make a video singing our first dance song, and he did! It was truly so special.”
Katie Stevens Had Long Imagined Raising a Family
Years before becoming a mother, Katie spoke openly about wanting the Nashville home she shared with Paul to be a place where they could eventually raise children.
“It was really important to me that the home be perfect because this is the home that Paul and I are starting our life in,” she told People in 2020.
Katie said she could already picture future children doing homework at the table and gathering on the couch for family movie nights. The actress also designed a reading nook with future children in mind. She remembered sitting with her own mother in a similar space as a child and imagined one day doing the same with her kids.
“Now, I look at our little nook and wonder if I’ll be there reading to my kids, and my kids will be watching me.”
Six years later, that vision has become a family of four.
