A few years ago, Ballas and Jean, who have been married since 2017, opened up to PEOPLE about their wedding and the one thing that went wrong on an otherwise perfect day. “I teared up when she walked around the corner and I saw her,” Ballas recalled at the time. “She walked the aisle to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen, which is one of my all-time favorites.” Except... it wasn't exactly as they'd planned it. “It was funny because they played the wrong version — they were meant to play the symphonic string version, but they played the real version,” he said. “So all of a sudden she turns the corner and we hear: ‘Is this [the real life]?'” ?s=20 “Freddie [Mercury]’s voice is booming through my ceremony!” Ballas added with a laugh. “I turned to Derek at the time, my best friend, I was like, ‘They’re playing the wrong version!’ He goes, ‘Relax, man. You love Queen.’ I was like, ‘I do love Queen.’ ” Ballas later added that he and Jean loved being married to each other. “Back when we were dating, we pretty much knew everything there was to know about each other — we’d traveled together, we’d lived together, we’d been through ups and downs together,” he said. “We’d kind of worked on all the things that we loved in our relationship and that we knew we needed to work on. We fought for this relationship, and that’s why it feels so solid now." "Highs & Lows" is out now. Close
