Love is in the air during the Olympics break, especially for NASCAR drivers. With Tyler Reddick and Daniel Suarez having already tied the knot, all indications point towards another couple getting hitched soon. Recently, Ryan Blaney took to Instagram to wish his fiancee Gianna Tulio on her birthday, referring to her as “future wifey”. The couple have been together since 2020 and after dating for three years, Blaney popped the question after winning the Cup Series championship last year.

The couple are on holiday at St. Martin, where Ryan Blaney is enjoying a well-earned rest before the NASCAR season resumes at Richmond Raceway. The Team Penske driver is looking to defend his championship, and with four races to go before playoffs begin in Atlanta, Blaney is hoping to finish the season strongly.

Ryan Blaney seems to be making headlines both on and off the track. Currently ranked 5th in the driver standings, the 30-year-old has already secured wins at Iowa Speedway and Pocono Raceway this season. Meanwhile, he continues to be busy making preparations for the wedding with Gianna Tulio, after the pair got engaged in December 2023. Tulio, a successful model, rose to prominence after winning the Miss Hooters title in 2021, as well as the Most Photogenic Award. She was also featured on the Hooters calendar, which has made her a recognizable name in the fashion and modeling circles.

While their wedding preparations continued, Ryan Blaney took a moment to wish his fiancee on her birthday. He uploaded a four-image carousel of the couple enjoying their time together, with the caption, “Happy Birthday to my future wifey, my partner in crime, my supporter to the end. Every year around the sun with you is a treasure. I love you very much.” The post featured the instrumental version of ‘Get it Sexyy’, which was appreciated by his fiancee, who responded, “I love you so much ❤️ music 10/10”.

Recently, Ryan Blaney spoke about the upcoming wedding preparations with fiancee Gianna Tulion on the Dale Jr Download podcast. The Team Penske driver said, “The days are closing in very rapidly. It’s been a fun process, and I’m excited for when it finally arrives. We’re just looking forward to enjoying the experience.” Like a true racecar driver, he compared wedding preparations to the extensive organization that is required for a racing event. He also said that from a financial standpoint, the wedding had already exceeded the budget that he had in mind.

As things stand, Ryan Blaney and Gianna Tulio are set to get married in December 2024 in Aspen, Colorado. In an Instagram story earlier this year, Tulio had uploaded a cryptic message which read, “Save the date” along with “December 12, 2024”, hinting at when they will be tying the knot. As for Ryan Blaney, the 30-year-old will hope to have defended his Cup Series title by then to truly make the event even more special.

As expected, the NASCAR community rallied behind Ryan Blaney’s birthday post for Gianna Tulio, expressing their adoration for the soon-to-be-married couple, while wishing the Tulio. New Zealand racecar driver Scott McLaughlin, who currently drives the No. 3 Dallara-Chevrolet for Team Penske in the IndyCar Series, sent a message to Gianna Tulio under Ryan Blaney’s post, expressing his wishes on her special day. He wrote, “Happy birthday @giannatulio hope it was a gooooodie!”

With Chase Elliott being NASCAR’s most popular driver at the moment, one fan shared his thoughts on Ryan Blaney’s Instagram post. Wondering why the Team Penske driver is not more popular, especially since he fits the traditional image of who a NASCAR driver should be, the fan wrote, “I’ll never understand how you don’t win most popular driver. You’re marrying a @hooters model. What’s more @nascar than that!”

Knowing that Ryan Blaney and Gianna Tulio are expected to get married later this year, a fan, who was hoping to get a birthday wish from the couple, wrote “Happy birthday to the future Mrs Blaney, My birthday is tomorrow.” Echoing a similar sentiment, one fan sent a sweet message to Ryan Blaney’s fiancee, saying that those born on July 31st are of exceptional quality. The fan wrote, “Happy Birthday to Gianna! One of my very best friends was born on this day so it’s definitely a birthday for the highest quality people. 😍”

Ryan Blaney’s choice of music for the Instagram post, which was the instrumental version of Get It Sexyy by American rapper Sexyy Red was complemented by Gianna Tulio, who said, “music 10/10”. However, one fan was surprised at Blaney’s choice of music for the birthday message, writing “Ain’t no way he used Sexy red 😭” as a comment under the Team Penske driver’s Instagram post. Commenting on the song was Spire Motorsports’ Truck Series driver Rajah Caruth as well, who went on to say, “A1 song 😂😂😂😂”
