Palmer, 45, and Fardo, 38, started dating in 2017 and got engaged two years later.

The couple confirmed in October 2021 that they had been married since June 2020.
“We originally had a wedding planned in Provence, France for the summer of 2020, which was postponed until the summer of 2021 due to the pandemic, but we didn’t want to wait any longer,” Palmer shared exclusively. We weekly in October 2021. “So we had a small, private and intimate ceremony with close friends who lived in New York City.”
Palmer noted at the time that not much had changed since things had become official with Fardo. “I still wake up every morning with the woman of my dreams,” he said. “The biggest difference is wearing a ring, but I’m getting used to it – and loving it!”
The following year, Palmer and Fardo held a second wedding in France. “So… we did something,” he captioned a July 2022 Instagram post. “After canceling our wedding twice due to Covid and then eloping in Connecticut, Emely and I finally got married (again) in front of our immediate families in Provence, France 🇫🇷.”

Before meeting Fardo, Palmer was the Season 5 Bachelor in 2004. Although he didn’t find lasting love on the show, he said Us in January 2022 that he “learned so much about myself” as the lead actor.
“I actually just went for it and I’m happy – a terrible football analogy – [but] I left it all in the field and it helped me later in life [with] dating as I grew up and matured until I finally met my wife Emely,” he continued. “Learning to be vulnerable and open up, learning to communicate and admit when my feelings were hurt and talk about how I was feeling has really taken me a long way. It has opened more doors than I could have ever imagined personally and professionally. And I’m really happy and very fortunate that I had the opportunity to do that in 2004.”
Palmer later returned to host the Bachelor education franchise will follow in 2022 Chris Harrison‘s exit.
