At the time, they hadn't started planning the wedding and didn't have a wedding date.
Months after the engagement, Gina kept it real about wedding planning during an appearance on “The Talk.” She said, “I feel like we're gonna elope. It is so much drama! It's a lot of work. There was a point when I was like, 'Everybody arrange everything.' I just want to show up. I just want to do it. I want to say 'I do.' I'm happy. And then I started hearing about what they wanted to do and I was like, 'Well, I don't know about that.'
The couple met in 2016 when he played a stripper on her show. After they went public with their relationship, she opened up about meeting him during an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Ryan." She dished, “He thought I was being nice to him because I am nice to everyone that comes on the show. So he thought I was just being super sweet to him. And I thought he was just being sweet on me because I'm the lead.”
