New Year’s Eve was more than just fireworks for Bubba Wallace and Dale Earnhardt Jr – it was their anniversary bash too!

Over on Twitter, Dale Earnhardt Jr was all about sharing the love, announcing that he and Amy have been hitched for seven years now.

Their love story? It’s like something out of a storybook. Amy showed up in Dale Jr’s life right when things were pretty bumpy, and she turned out to be the steady hand he needed. It’s like they say, sometimes you find the right person when you’re not even looking.

Now, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Amy and Dale Jr’s paths crossed back when she was at Wakefield Beasley & Associates. Sparks started flying in 2009, but they kept it on the down-low until the 2011 NASCAR Awards, where they finally went public. In 2015, Dale Jr figured a family trip to Germany was the perfect setting to ask Amy to marry him. Talk about a romantic gesture, right? Fast forward to the last night of 2016, and there they were, saying their ‘I dos’ and ringing in the new year as newlyweds.

Now, seven years down the line, Dale Jr shared a touching note on Twitter, simple yet full of love, saying, “Celebrated 7 years married to an incredible woman. Hugged her and the kids a little more these past few days. Life is flying by. Happy New Year everyone. Enjoy it and hope ya have a safe night.” No fancy words or pictures, just heartfelt emotions.

Their wedding came during a challenging time in Dale Jr’s career. He had to take a break from racing in the second half of 2016 due to concussion symptoms. And to double the happiness, just before the wedding, on December 8, the good news came from Hendrick Motorsports that he was cleared to race again, marking a sweet comeback.

 

But Dale Jr and Amy aren’t all about just romantic moments; they’ve got a playful side too. Amy recently shared a fun post on Instagram, where she was teasing her husband, showing that they’re not just lovebirds, but also a couple that knows how to keep things light and lively.
