Robin Thicke Marries April Love Geary After 6-Year Engagement
Robin Thicke and April Love Geary have tied the knot! PEOPLE can confirm that the longtime couple is officially married. The pair wed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Friday, May 30. Geary posted several clips and photos from the celebration on her Instagram Story. She wore an all-white dress, while Thicke wore a suit with a white flower in his lapel. One guest at the wedding published a video showing Thicke walking down the aisle to Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Just days before the wedding, Thicke, 48, got down on one knee for a second time, popping the question to Geary, 30, again in Cannes. "Robin surprised me during our trip to Cannes by proposing to me again with a new ring that one of my best friends @nikkiwhatnikkiwho @establishedjewelry made, I'm so obsessed with it, thank you!!!😭 This trip was such a dream. 🤍 I love you so much @robinthicke Also a huge thank you to @alilasky for clearing out the whole area and making sure there wasn't a single person getting in the way," Geary shared on Instagram. Thicke and Geary, who share three children — son Luca Patrick, 2, and daughters Lola Alain, 4, and Mia Love, 6, began dating in 2014, several months after the singer separated from his wife of 10 years, Paula Patton. Two months after Thicke and Patton's divorce was finalized in March 2015, Thicke and Geary made their public debut as a couple at the Cannes Film Festival. The Grammy-nominated artist also shares son, Julian Fuego, 14, with ex-wife Paula Patton. In September 2016, the pair celebrated their second anniversary by getting matching tattoos on their ring fingers, sparking rumors that they had secretly wed, but a source told PEOPLE two months later they were not married.

Chase Stokes ‘Such a Blessing' for Girlfriend Kelsea Ballerini: ‘They're Mapping Out Their Future'
has been opening up about her romance with Outer Banks hunk Chase Stokes and a source exclusively tells Life & Style a wedding and babies are high on the agenda as they look to the next phase of their three-year relationship. 'The more Kelsea gets to know Chase, the more she loves him,' the insider says. 'He's just so thoughtful and sweet, and super solid. She loves that he wants to work on things, that's the kind of life partner she wants.' The Grammy-nominated country star, 31, began dating the Netflix heartthrob, 32, not long after finalizing her divorce from Australian singer Morgan Evans in November 2022. After ending her five-year marriage due to 'irreconcilable differences,' Kelsea, who tends to be very open with her fans via social media, gave an update: 'I've always tried my best to share my life with you in a real and vulnerable way, while also protecting layers of my personal life as they unfold. This is now public record so I wanted you to hear from me directly that I am going through a divorce,' she wrote on her Instagram Story. 'This deeply difficult decision is the result of a journey of love, growth, and effort that ultimately has come to an end.' With the painful split behind her, the 'Cowboys Cry Too' singer first started getting cozy with Chase as early as January 2023, with the two snapped attending the Georgia vs. TCU game together that month. Their relationship took off after that, appearing in each other's socials more and more frequently before they went official as a couple in April of that year. The source notes that after two years together, both Chase and Kelsea are open about planning their next steps and aren't shying away from committing to spending the rest of their lives together. 'They talk about everything,' the insider reveals. 'Communication is something they are both big on. That's why they are mapping out their future now, making sure they are on the same page about where they want to live, how they want to raise their future kids, even what kind of wedding they both want.' All this talk of major milestones certainly hints at upcoming nuptials and a family, but more important than anything for the country singer is making sure she applies the lessons she suffered to severely to learn from her the implosion of her first marriage. 'They want to make sure they are aligned on the big things before they just jump in blindly,' the source adds. 'Kelsea learned a lot from her divorce, she wants to make sure not to repeat the same mistakes and Chase is totally on board. If anything, he's leading the charge.' Kelsea noted the 'sexiest' thing she found about the Outer Banks star was his willingness to collaborate in their relationship. 'Now my version of love that I've found, it's steady and it's human, and we work on it," she told People. "That, to me, honestly, is the sexiest thing, like, 'Hey, you want to go to therapy? Let's go to therapy.'" The source confirms, 'He's way more evolved than the average guy and very into self-development, which has been such a blessing for Kelsea.'
