Brody Jenner & Tia Blanco’s Malibu Wedding: From Waterfalls to "I Do!"
Cue the wedding bells and the ocean breeze—Brody Jenner and Tiarah "Tia" Blanco just made it official in the most picture-perfect Malibu setting.
After a whirlwind romance that began with matching waterfall posts and led to a surprise proposal mid-baby shower, the reality TV star and the surfing champ tied the knot on Saturday, July 12, in an intimate backyard ceremony. The dreamy celebration took place at Brody's mom Linda Thompson’s ocean-view estate in Malibu, California. Yep, the same Linda who once dated Elvis and married Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner. Talk about a guest list with Hollywood roots.
With around 60 to 70 guests looking on—including Jenner’s famous father Caitlyn Jenner—the couple exchanged vows in front of their closest family and friends, marking a major chapter in a love story that has felt like a movie from day one.
A Love Story That Surfed Right Into Forever
Let’s rewind the clock a bit. The rumors of Brody and Tia’s romance first started flying in April 2022, when eagle-eyed fans noticed they were posting eerily similar pics from a lush Hawaiian waterfall. A month later, they were spotted out and about in California—clearly not trying too hard to hide the budding connection.
By January 2023, the couple decided it was time to share their joy with the world. They announced they were expecting their first child together with a heartfelt Instagram post, featuring an ultrasound video and the caption:
“We are excited to share with you the blessing of a new life in the new year… Our little angel is on their way 💙.”
The Baby Shower Turned Proposal
But leave it to Brody Jenner to turn a typical baby shower into a jaw-dropping, heartwarming proposal moment.
At the couple’s baby shower in June 2023, just weeks before welcoming their daughter, Brody gave a short thank-you speech—then added a curveball:
“One more thing…”
He pulled out a ring box and dropped to one knee right in front of their guests, including Caitlyn and Linda. Tia looked completely stunned—and then immediately said yes, melting into Brody’s arms as the crowd erupted with cheers and applause.
Their joint Instagram announcement read:
“Can’t wait to love you forever 💍”
And yes, they included a video of the whole romantic surprise for us to swoon over.
Enter: Baby Honey Raye
Soon after the proposal, the couple had even more love to celebrate—the arrival of their baby girl, Honey Raye, in July 2023. The couple gushed about the moment in a joint Instagram post:
“Momma and baby are in perfect health. We are so incredibly in love and have been cherishing this precious time together as a family.”
To let fans in on the full experience, they directed everyone to their brand-new YouTube channel where they shared a touching video that included the baby shower, the proposal, and even footage of their home birth.
Sweet Words & Surfer Strength
In the video, Brody didn’t hold back about how deeply he feels for his now-wife. He reflected on how their connection was fast but authentic:
“We got pregnant very fast. I know we’ve only been together a year, but she’s the right one, and I know that with all my heart.”
He went on to call Tia, who’s no stranger to accolades—she won gold at the 2015 ISA Women’s World Surfing Championship—“the most incredible woman” he’s ever met.
“She’s my better half. I think the universe does things the way it’s supposed to. She was the perfect person for me.”
The Countdown to “I Do”
Just days before they officially said their vows, Brody and Tia couldn’t contain their excitement. They posted a playful clip on Instagram featuring Brody dancing to Bruno Mars' “I Think I Wanna Marry You,” while rocking a shirt covered in photos of Tia.
Tia captioned it with the lyrics, while Brody hyped it up in the comments:
“6 MORE DAYS!!!!!! I LOVE YOUUUUUU ❤️”
Even Brody’s mom Linda jumped into the comments to show her love:
“I’m so happy you found the love of your life and that we can all celebrate a beautiful marriage! Love you so much❤️”
Wedding Vibes in Malibu
When the big day arrived, it was everything they’d hoped for and more. With the Pacific Ocean in the distance and the warm glow of Malibu sunshine, the ceremony felt like something out of a movie—or maybe a reboot of The Hills, but with way more love and a lot less drama.
According to TMZ, who first broke the news, the backyard wedding was cozy, elegant, and very personal. No over-the-top Hollywood production here—just heartfelt vows, happy tears, and a whole lot of love.
From Reality Star to Real-Life Romance
For those who’ve followed Brody Jenner over the years—from his MTV The Hills days to his high-profile relationships with celebs like Avril Lavigne and Kaitlynn Carter—this feels like a real full-circle moment. The man known for his wild party days and dramatic reality TV moments has now settled into family life with a grounded, golden-hearted surfer girl who seems to bring out the best in him.
And for Tia, who spent most of her early life chasing waves and championship medals, life has come crashing in like a warm wave of happiness.
Final Thoughts: A Malibu Love Story for the Ages
Let’s be real—Hollywood marriages aren’t always built to last. But this one? It feels different. From waterfall dates to home births, from surprise proposals to backyard vows, Brody and Tia have written their love story their own way.
It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s just getting started.
