The former "Skating with the Stars" judge opened up about his nuptials to Voronov in an interview a few days before the New Year. "I'm getting married on New Year's Eve," he told IceNetwork.com. "His name is Victor [Voronov], he's kind of everything that I've ever looked for and aspired to be in a relationship with."
"We've known each other for a long time and we reconnected over the summer, and it's just been a whirlwind," he continued on dishing. "I'm very happy with my personal life and also my professional life, and I thank God I can be exactly where I'm at."

Time for a Corona with lime and a bite of swordfish!" He later expressed his gratitude for the well-wishers, "Thank you to everyone for your well wishes to me and @vitya_zvesda! It means a lot to have your blessings!"
