It wasn't until June 2021 that Marner popped the question at their Muskoka Cottage while being surrounded by family. The duo tied the knot in a private ceremony at Peller Estates winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario. The guest list included A-listers such as Auston Matthews, Morgan Rielly, John Tavares, Nazem Kadri, among others.
In February 2025, news broke of Stephanie's pregnancy. The news became viral when Jake McCabe's wife Gaby, shared a picture of the invite to their baby shower. A greeting card in colours blue and white carried the text, "Oh boy, welcome Baby Marner".

Craig Berube
