Darnold and Hoofnagle began dating several years ago and officially tied the knot on April 3 in Rancho Sante Fe, Calif. The ceremony was attended by several famous figures, including Hailee Steinfeld, Josh Allen, Cooper Kupp and Christian McCaffrey.

Darnold actually spoke about how pumped he was for their wedding in the moments after Seattle clinched their Super Bowl victory.

“Is it weird that I’m thinking about the wedding right now and that it’s in a month, and I’m like, frickin’, I’m excited, but also just, it’s a lot, we got a lot to do,” he said. “But, it’s exciting stuff.”
