And gradually the much-awaited year came.

In 2012, the couple finally got hitched in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. It was the 25th of January when Nina first shared their wedding photo on Facebook in 2012. Her feelings after getting tied to Shane were further revealed as Nina shared another lovely photo of the couple with their family on 30th October 2012, and captioned it as ‘Wedding crashers.’ And later, they were blessed with two kids, a son named Hudson and a daughter named Stella. It was all due to the protective nature of Nina and Shane, that they posted the first picture of Hudson during their visit to South Lake Tahoe, California in 2017.
