The couple tied the knot last year on May 12, 2023, with a wedding in Venice, Italy. They met over five years ago thanks to an introduction from Stroll’s brother, Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll. 

The couple announced their engagement in December 2021, by sharing a video on Instagram of James smiling as Stroll, a singer-songwriter, showed off the ring while surrounded by snow flurries.

"Hey! We're getting married!" James said to the camera, adding, "Everyone, this is my fiancée!" Stroll excitedly echoed her future husband before kissing him on the cheek. "This is my fiancé!" she repeated.
