The Miami Dolphins star and Vaccaro tied the knot in November 2023 after a two-year engagement, the athlete confirmed to reporters in a post-practice interview. "I did get married to my longtime fiancé," Hill said in a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Hill and Vaccaro got engaged on July 4, 2021, at an Independence Day party — and his then-Kansas City Chiefs teammates were thrilled for him. Speaking to TMZ after the proposal, the wide receiver shared that he called his teammate Patrick Mahomes, who was engaged to his now-wife Brittany Mahomes at the time, and told him he was officially in the fiancé "club."
“As soon as I did it, I called up my boy Pat, like, 'I'm in the club now man, I'm in the club!' " Hill recalled. "He was pretty fired up, he was pretty turned up by that."
NFL fans weren't the only ones shocked by the athlete's spontaneous nuptials — it turns out Vaccaro herself was surprised by Hill's decision to head to the courthouse.
"I was like, 'Babe, we've been engaged so long, are you ready to tie the knot?' It kind of caught her off guard," Hill told reporters. "She didn't believe me because we've been engaged ever since 2021. It was like, 'OK, let's go do it.' She was like, 'Show me you're for real.' And we did it."
While Hill has been breaking records in the NFL, Vaccaro has been focused on growing her own career, which includes her brand, Own Flow, and an investment company.
