She would later describe the encounter as 'love at first sight.' The You're Cordially Invited actress and Jax initially bonded over watching NBC's Dateline before getting engaged during a romantic getaway to Big Sur in 2018. The exes tied the knot during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, exchanging vows in the backyard of a rented a seaside home in Malibu. They marked their October 23 fourth wedding anniversary with a celebratory trip to Greece. Feimster wrote online at the time, 'In between Prague filming and Oktoberfest, Jax and I took a little detour into Santorini, Greece and it was a magical much needed vacation. I was up to my eyeballs in feta and frappes and loved every second of it.'
