Weaver and Colletti started dating in the previous year and publicly announced their relationship in August 2022.
Colletti shared a picture of the couple cuddling while sailing on Instagram, captioned "Magic hours are a bit more magical this year. @al_weave." Weaver affectionately responded with "Luckiest girl," accompanied by a white heart emoji.
Prior to officially committing to Weaver, Colletti reconnected with his high school sweetheart and long-time friend, Kristin Cavallari, to discuss their past relationship on their podcast, "Laguna Beach Rewatch." Their on-and-off romance was a popular subject on the MTV reality series in the 2000s, which also featured Lauren Conrad, Jason Wahler, and Lo Bosworth.
During a July 2022 episode of "Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen," Cavallari, who is 36 years old, disclosed that she and Colletti shared a kiss during their highly-publicized reunion in August 2020. (Cavallari had previously divorced Jay Cutler in April 2020 and they have three children together: sons Camden, 10, and Jaxon, 9, and daughter Saylor, 7.)
"Posting a photo of us turned out to be a remarkable moment on Instagram. It swiftly became my most popular post, surpassing anything else I've ever shared. It was even more significant than pictures of my own children or any other milestone in my life. This reception deeply touched me as it demonstrated the immense bond that the audience still holds for our time in Laguna Beach. I find it incredibly endearing and heartwarming."
As for Colletti, he reveals that the picture caused his phone to constantly buzz for several days, confirming its immense impact."
People were emerging and inquiring about my well-being. Some would even send me text messages merely to inquire. Gradually, they started steering the conversation towards a casual topic of whether or not I was in a relationship. The whole situation was glaringly apparent to me. I was taken aback by the number of individuals who believed I was that naive.
