Nick Viall from Bachelor Nation recently got married to Natalie Joy.

The couple exchanged vows in a beautiful wedding ceremony held at Joy's family farm in Georgia. The ceremony took place on Saturday, April 27, according to People magazine.

The 170-person guest list for the wedding included some familiar faces from Bachelor Nation such as Jared Haibon, Ashley Iaconetti, and Ben Higgins. Victoria Fuller served as Joy's maid of honor, and other reality stars like Katie Maloney from Vanderpump Rules and Jojo Siwa were also present at the event.

The newlyweds, Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, first started dating in 2019 but made their relationship public in early 2021. Shortly after the news of their romance became known, Viall shared that Joy made the first move by sending him a direct message.

During a February 2021 episode of his “Viall Files” podcast, he jokingly described it as very romantic. He mentioned that Joy was ready to settle down before him, but the fear of losing her led him to commit.

He recalled how they continued to spend time together, and Joy eventually expressed her desire to date. Initially unsure, he was taken aback when she decided to pursue other options. Her actions made him realize what he might be missing out on.

In June, the couple decided to take their relationship to the next level by adopting a dog together. Viall shared a heartwarming Instagram photo of Joy cuddling with their puppy, Jeff, which he described as one of the top 5 moments of his life.

Joy has expressed her gratitude for Viall and the happiness he has brought into her life. She publicly praised him on his birthday in September 2021, calling him one of the best people she has ever met. She feels incredibly fortunate to share her life with him, love him, and be loved by him.

She continued: "You have turned my whole world upside down and given every dream and goal a new meaning and purpose. Your sense of humor, honesty, generosity, talent, creativity, drive, heart, and passion just blows my mind. I will cherish your existence forever!! You surpass every fairytale. Happy birthday, baby, I love you like nothing else!!"

The lovebirds announced their engagement in January 2023. However, five months prior, Viall exclusively told We that he wasn't in a rush to pop the question.

He expressed his excitement about the progress and speed of their relationship in August 2022, mentioning his gratitude for the certified surgical technologist.

In August 2023, Viall and Joy shared the news of expecting their first child together. They joyfully announced the arrival of their daughter, River Rose, in February, calling it their biggest dream come true.

River Rose Viall was born on 2-2-2024 and was named after Natalie’s great grandmother and niece. "The best part of life starts now ❤️," Viall and Joy shared in a joint Instagram post to announce the happy news.

Before his relationship with Joy, Viall was the runner-up on both Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe’s seasons of The Bachelorette in 2014 and 2015, respectively. He later appeared on season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2016, where he formed connections with several women such as Leah Block and Amanda Stanton. Ultimately, Viall dated Jen Saviano on the show, but during the finale, he expressed uncertainty about their relationship, citing doubts in his heart.

Later that year, Viall became the season 21 Bachelor and proposed to Vanessa Grimaldi during the season finale. The former couple split in August 2017 after a nine-month engagement.
