The joyful public appearances and candid social media updates have resonated with supporters, adding to the couple’s positive image. In a recent Instagram story, Tulio again highlighted her pregnancy, as enthusiasm builds around the couple’s growing family.

Their wedding, which took place on December 12, 2024, in Aspen, Colorado, was celebrated exactly a year after their engagement.
Their firstborn is expected to arrive during the NASCAR off-season, giving the couple time to adjust to their new chapter away from the racing circuit’s spotlight and travel schedule.

Gianna Tulio recently opened up about the expected arrival date on a podcast, sharing that the timing holds a special place in the couple’s hearts.
“Our due date right now is December 6th, which is crazy cuz we got married December 12th. So, just 6 days before our anniversary is when the baby’s supposed to come.”

The close proximity of the due date to their wedding anniversary adds another layer of significance for the new parents. Tulio emphasized the importance of having Ryan with her during this major life event, expressing appreciation for the timing aligning with the end of NASCAR’s competitive season.
“I’m just honestly grateful that my due date is during the off season, especially since it’s my first pregnancy. I don’t know what to expect. And just having Ryan there with me will help calm a lot of nerves,”
she said. —Gianna Tulio
Ryan Blaney also acknowledged the good fortune of the timing, noting in a recent interview that it will allow both of them to focus on family as they adjust to parenthood.
“We’re in the winter, so that takes a lot of stress off. I can’t say we necessarily drew it up that way. Just kind of got fortunate on the timing of it. So hopefully, fingers crossed, it all goes to plan, and we can be kind of settled into the offseason by the time that the little one comes,”
