Gianna Tullio Steals Fiance Ryan Blaney’s #12 Thunder as Surprise Announcement Leaves NASCAR Fans Enchanted

Ryan Blaney is not having the best time on track, but off of it, he seems to be reaching milestone after milestone! Besides the excitement building for the playoffs, the Team Penske driver is gearing up for a massive personal turning point in December. Six months have passed since the 2023 Cup Champion proposed to his girlfriend, Gianna Tulio on December 12 last year. And now, the couple is headed for forever with a special tribute. 

Ryan Blaney will walk the aisle soon

Gianna Tulio and Ryan Blaney started dating four years ago, and their relationship has bloomed since then. Being a professional model, Tulio works for Hooters, which is an old NASCAR sponsor. She is a permanent fixture on racetracks, rooting for her soon-to-be hubby at every race. And just like the supportive girlfriend she is, last year Blaney, after Blaney clinched the Talladega race, Tulio praised her boyfriend with praise, expressing her joy on social media.

“Talladega was such a dream, I went through every emotion this day! I couldn’t be more proud of this man right here and everyone that’s a part of the 12 team.”

And after Ryan Blaney soared to victory in Phoenix, Tulio’s love for the No. 12 man heightened. Hence, as an ode to the 2023 Cup champion’s No. 12, Tulio is planning to exchange rings with Blaney on a symbolic date: 12th December or 12/12. She updated this news on Instagram: “Yesterday was 6 months until we say I do ✨💍🥂🤍🕊️”

This announcement comes after months of gossip about Ryan Blaney’s wedding plans. Talking to Bob Pockrass in March this year, Blaney shared how the reins are in Gianna’s hands. “I try to just give her the reigns on everything, just do it you’ve got full control of this, but she wants to include me in a lot of it, which is like alright, that’s fine. But I usually just agree with her. She’ll be like ‘What do you think about this?’ and then I’ll just ask her ‘Well, what do you think?’ and then I’ll just agree with whatever she says.”

The culmination is bound to be a dewy-eyed phenomenon, as the racing couple’s fans go head over heels for their announcement.
