Costabile, at the time, shared a photo of himself and Perri in front of a green screen, writing, “4 years ago today I met my dream girl in this room. 4 years later today I married my dream girl and best friend.”
“Pretty sure I’m the proudest I’ve EVER been to be able to call the most bellissima person + woman I’ve ever known now my wife,” he continued. “Whoa. I thank God for the gift of her, our relationship, our bambino on the way, our family’s love and support and this unforgettable year.”
The former couple welcomed their daughter, Carmella, in January 2018. Although the two had yet to announce they were expecting again, in January 2020, Perri announced that she had experienced a miscarriage at 11 weeks.
After announcing that they were expecting again in July 2020, Perri shared that the baby had been “born silent” that November.
