Charlie Puth and Brooke Sansone are married! After two years of dating, the 32-year-old musician and digital marketing coordinator tied the knot Sept. 7 at Puth’s family home in Montecito, Calif., which they announced 10 days later on Tuesday (Sept. 17).
In photos from the outdoor ceremony, which the groom shared on Instagram, Sansone looks gorgeous in a strapless white dress while the “See You Again” musician sports a black suit with lacy white trim.
“I love you Brooke…I always have,” Puth captioned his post. “With you I am my very best. I promise I’ll love you everyday in this life, and even more when we move on to our next.”

“Thank you for making me the happiest man alive,” he added. “It has always been you.”
The couple have been dating since June 2022, though they both grew up in New Jersey — a fact they paid tribute to by using Bruce Springsteen’s “Jersey Girl” as their first-dance song, according to Vogue. After a year and three months together, Puth flew from Los Angeles to New York City and proposed to Sansone at 11:11 p.m. on Sept. 5, 2023.
“It was just the two of us, sharing Chinese food on the couch in a beautifully intimate moment,” the fashion hobbyist told the publication. “Afterward, we FaceTimed our families to share the news and spent the next few days celebrating in NYC.”
Puth first announced that he was engaged exactly one year prior to the nuptials on Instagram, writing at the time, “I am the happiest, best version of myself and it is all because of you Brookie.” A few months prior, they’d made their red-carpet debut at the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles.
In October 2022, Puth revealed on The Howard Stern Show that he was “definitely in love” with “someone [he] grew up with.” “As my life gets more turbulent and I travel everywhere, it’s nice to have someone close to you that you’ve known for a very long time,” he added at the time.
A mere two months after announcing they were a couple, Mexican music stars Angela Aguilar and Christian Nodal tied the knot in a private ceremony at a ranch in Mexico.

Rumors about the wedding started circulating Saturday night (July 24) online, when magazine Quien published photos of the couple on social media, with Aguilar wearing a long, embroidered dress. In one, she appeared walking holding the arm of her father, fabled ranchera singer Pepe Aguilar, and in the other, she faces Nodal, wearing an off-white suit, at the altar.
While many fans speculated the photos could be from the set of a music video, sources confirmed to Billboard that the couple indeed got married. The wedding took place in a private ranch in Morelos, a couple of hours outside Mexico City. Other photos of the couple have also surfaced on social media.

The relationship between Aguilar and Nodal, two of the most promising names in Mexican music, came to light two months ago.
According to sources, Aguilar, 20, an Nodal, 25, who had recorded together back in 2020, reunited after Nodal ended his relationship with Argentine trap star Cazzu, with whom he recently had a baby. The Mexican superstar and Cazzu publicly announced their breakup on social media on May 23, stating they still have a respectful and amicable relationship.
At the time, Aguilar and Nodal noted they had been friends for years.
“It is not a new relationship; it’s the continuation of a story that life made us pause so we could grow and miss each other. Because when we let go, we returned even closer,” Aguilar told HOLA! at the time. Since the announcement, the couple has kept a low profile, although sources said they were deeply in love.
Ángela Aguilar was honored with the Musical Dynasty award at the 2024 Billboard Latin Women in Music ceremony, which aired on June 9, where she was also the youngest of the eight honorees.

Shelton and Stefani met on the set of The Voice, when they were both coaches on the reality singing competition series. They tied the knot in 2021, and have been going strong ever since. Stefani shares sons Kingston, Zuma and Apollo with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. The former couple were married for 13 years — and dated for nearly six years before that — but parted ways in 2015.
Earlier this year, Stefani and Shelton teamed up for their new collaboration, “Purple Irises,” though it’s hardly the first time they worked together musically. In February, Shelton dropped his six-track Love Language EP, featuring the previous Stefani collabs “Nobody But You” and “Happy Anywhere,” as well as “God Gave Me You,” “Sangria,” “Honey Bee” and “A Guy With a Girl.” The duo also released their festive hit, “You Make It Feel Like Christmas,” in 2017.

In 2023, Stefani gushed about her country singer husband in a cover story for People. “I didn’t see any of this coming with Blake. This was just a big old ‘What?’ It was an amazing gift to experience love like that for the first time,” Stefani recalled of falling in love with Shelton. “He’s changed my life … when I [started dating] Blake, that’s when I felt home, like, ‘Oh, this is where I’m supposed to be, with this guy.’”

It appears that wedding bells may be in order for Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker! According to People, the High School Musical star and the professional baseball player, tied the knot in Tulum, Mexico.
Although both Hudgens, 34, and Tucker, 27, have yet to comment on the reports, photos of the Tick, Tick… Boom! star posing in a white dress made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend (Dec. 3). A post from former High School Musical co-star Monique Coleman added more fuel to the rumors; the Emmy-nominated host shared clips of a sunny beach on her Instagram Story, tagging her location as Tulum, Mexico.
Billboard has reached out to representatives for both Hudgens and Tucker for comment.
In a 2021 Drew Barrymore Show interview, Hudgens recounted how got in touch with Tucker after meeting him in a Zoom meditation group during the peak of COVID-19 lockdowns. “I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, ‘Hey it was nice to meet you,’” she said. “I think there’s no shame in making the first move. If you want it, why wait for someone else to give you what you want?”
On Valentine’s Day 2021 (Feb. 14), Hudgens made the couple Instagram official when she posted a sweep snap of them sharing a kiss. “It’s you, it’s me, it’s us. @cotuck ❤️💋🤟🏽,” she captioned the post. By Feb. 9, 2023, the couple confirmed their engagement — again via Instagram — with a post captioned, “YES. We couldn’t be happier.”
News of Hudgens’ reported marriage closes a busy year for the multi-hyphenate. This year, she starred in the Lily Rabe-directed drama Downtown Owl, hosted the pre-show for the 95th Academy Awards and continued to prep for the forthcoming fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise.
Vanessa Hudgens has earned 15 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 10 hits “Breaking Free” (No. 4) and “What Time Is It” (No. 6) from the High School Musical and High School Musical 2 soundtracks, respectively. On the Billboard 200, she has charted both of her solo studio albums: 2006’s V (No. 24) and 2008’s Identified (No. 23).

Mammoth WVH frontman Wolfgang Van Halen married his long-time love Andraia Allsop during an intimate ceremony over the weekend on the eighth anniversary of their first date. According to People magazine the couple tied the knot at their home in Los Angeles on Sunday in front of 90 guests.

“Our goal was just to bring all of our closest family and friends together,” Allsop told the magazine. “The past few years, not only with the world, but also with personal tragedies, haven’t been the easiest, but we wanted to create this wedding as a celebration not only just for us to get married, but a celebration for the people we love.”
One of the most emotional moments of the ceremony was when Van Halen down the aisle with his mom, actress Valerie Bertinelli, to a song written for him by his late father, Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who died at age 65 in Oct. 2002 after long battle with cancer.
“The song that my father had written for me, it’s an instrumental piece called ‘316.’ It’ll be a nice way to include my dad,” Wolfie said of the acoustic, finger-picked 90-second track from VH’s 1991 album For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge that was inspired by Wolfgang’s birth on March 16, 1991. The bride walked down the aisle with her dad to Dean Martin’s “Everybody Loves Somebody” and tapped her grandmothers as the flower girls.
The wedding took place in the couple’s living room and was officiated by one of the guitarist’s closest family friends, whom Wolfgang, 32, said he’s known for most of his life. “He’s the dad of one of my best men and he’s just an important guy in our life,” the rocker said of the officiant. The backdrop to the ceremony was a stained-glass window that previously served as a backdrop for a Lady Gaga performance.
In addition to writing their own vows, the couple honored loved ones who couldn’t be there, including leaving an empty chair for Eddie Van Halen and clearing their bookshelves and lining them with pictures of loved ones who’ve died or could not attend. Allsop also made “memory charms” with pictures of Wolfie and Eddie on boutonnieres, corsages and bouquets so they would think of the late rocker “throughout the day.”
“It brings me such a nice sense of peace knowing Wolfie and Andraia have each other for the rest of their lives,” Bertinelli told People. “They really ‘get’ one another. Their humor is very similar, they like similar things, they know how to give each other space and they’re just so comfortable together… Ed would’ve been absolutely beaming and so, so proud of the man Wolfie has become and is becoming and so happy that he has found Andraia, someone who really understands Wolfie, who he is and who he wants to be and supports him wholeheartedly.”
The party included a DJ to “keep it simple,” and allow Wolfgang to enjoy himself without the pressure of performing; he kicks off his upcoming Mammoth WVH tour on Nov. 4 in Milwaukee. It was, of course, not the typical line dances and “Macarena” playlist for the couple, as Van Halen requested some non-traditional tunes from one of his favorite death metal bands, Meshuggah.

Congratulations are in order for Grammy-winning country star Hank Williams Jr. On Monday, via his official Facebook page, the singer-songwriter announced that he tied the knot.
“Please congratulate Mr. And Mrs. Hank Williams Jr!” the post reads. “Hank and Brandi were married on Sept 9, 2023 at Enon Baptist Church in Banks, Alabama in front of a small group of family and friends. A reception followed at Kendall Hall in Troy, Alabama. They had gotten engaged earlier this year on Mothers Day. The bride and groom have known each other and been friends since 2003.”
This is the fourth marriage for Williams. He was married to Gwen Yeargain from 1971-1977 and to Becky White from 1977-1983. In March 2022, Mary Jane Thomas, Williams’ third wife, unexpectedly died. According to People, the autopsy listed Thomas’ cause of death as “pneumothorax due to perforated parietal pleura during liposuction with autologous fat reinjection procedure.”
“38 wonderful years she gave me. Her kind spirit and beautiful and endearing love carries on in the hearts of our son, Sam, grandsons Beau and Tennyson, and granddaughter Audrey Jane,” Williams wrote on Instagram weeks after her death. “Of course, she will be missed and loved by so many forever.”
On Tuesday (Sept. 12), Williams posted a wedding picture of Brandi and himself with the caption “Mr. and Mrs. Hank Williams Jr.” He limited the comments on both his Instagram and Facebook posts.
Last year, Williams Jr. released Rich White Honky Blues, a Dan Auerbach-produced album of blues covers and original tracks.
Hank Williams Jr. has earned three entries on the Billboard Hot 100: 1964’s “Long Gone Lonesome Blues” (No. 67) and “Endless Sleep” (No. 90), as well as 2000’s “A Country Boy Can Survive” (No. 75, with Chad Brock & George Jones). On the Billboard 200, he has notched 39 career entries, reaching as high as No. 12 with 2012’s Old School New Rules. He’s the son of Hank Williams, one of the most celebrated country singer-songwriters in American history.
