The Chainsmokers star Drew Taggart is officially a married man. The DJ and producer, 35, tied the knot with his model fiancée, Marianne Fonseca, in a romantic and casual beach ceremony at sunset. The couple announced their marriage to the world via a sweet video shared on Instagram this Monday.
A Barefoot Beach 'I Do'
The newlyweds opted for a beautifully simple setting for their big day. The ceremony took place on a sandy beach as the sun dipped below the horizon. In the video posted by Taggart, both he and his bride went barefoot in the sand. Marianne looked effortlessly chic in a white summer dress, while Drew wore a white shirt paired with black trousers. The intimate moment was made even more picturesque by the presence of two horses standing nearby as the couple watched the sunset together.
Alongside the video, the elated singer simply captioned the post: 'WE ARE MARRIED!' The announcement was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from fans, who filled the comments section with heart emojis and well-wishes.
From Engagement to Wedding
The couple's journey to the altar began exactly a year ago when they confirmed their engagement. Drew shared a series of snaps from their engagement party at the upscale Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica. The photo dump gave fans a glimpse of the celebration, which featured an abundance of red roses and plenty of red wine. It also prominently showcased Marianne's sizable diamond engagement ring.
The story behind the proposal, however, involved a surprising guest. Marianne later revealed that Ivanka Trump played a crucial role in orchestrating the surprise. The former first daughter tricked Marianne into thinking they were meeting for a girls' night out. When Marianne arrived expecting to see Ivanka, she was instead greeted by her now-husband, Drew, who was ready to propose.
'But when I got there, it was my love @DrewTaggart. You guys got me so good,' Marianne wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time. Ivanka responded on her own account, writing: 'It's the only time I'll ever lie to you @MarianneFonseca.'
A Look at Their Romance
Drew Taggart and Brazilian model and beauty entrepreneur Marianne Fonseca were first linked in May 2023. Prior to his relationship with Marianne, Taggart had brief romances with singer Selena Gomez and Eve Jobs, the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs. He also previously dated influencer Chantel Jeffries.
Earlier this month, Drew took to Instagram to celebrate Marianne's birthday, gushing over his then-fiancée. He shared loved-up snaps with the caption: 'Wow i love this girl so much!!! I can’t believe she agreed to marry me. Happy birthday Mari, i can’t wait to celebrate you forever!' To which Marianne replied, 'Hah I love you babe.'
With their sunset beach ceremony, the couple have now embarked on the next chapter of their life together, marking the culmination of a year-long engagement filled with love and a notably clever proposal.
