Aaron Tveit and Ericka Yang tied the knot on June 22, 2025, in New York City, and the Broadway couple insisted that two very special guests be present for every moment.
**At a Glance
- Tveit and Yang married at The Milling Room restaurant with 7-month-old daughter and dog Miles on hand
- The couple, together since 2021, welcomed their daughter in November 2024
- Restaurant staff agreed to let their goldendoodle stay for the ceremony before heading home
- Why it matters: The intimate celebration shows how pets and children are increasingly central to modern weddings
The Grease Live! star shared the story during a January 12, 2026, appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, telling hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that the guest list was short by design. “We knew we wanted friends and family, but we also knew that we had to have our 7-month-old daughter there, and our dog there,” Tveit said. “It was amazing.”
A Pandemic Love Story
Tveit and Yang first stepped out together at the Thoughts of a Colored Man opening night in October 2021, three months after the Tony Award nominee recovered from a breakthrough case of COVID-19. By July 2024 the pair were ready for the next chapter: they announced they were expecting a child with a simple Instagram post-two black-and-white photos of Tveit cradling Yang’s bump captioned “Table for 3 🤍.” Sharp-eyed followers also spotted a diamond ring on Yang’s left hand, confirming an engagement that neither actor had spoken about publicly.
Their daughter arrived in November 2024. Tveit confirmed the birth exclusively to News Of Losangeles in December, though the couple have not yet revealed her name.
Planning a New-York-Centric Day
Speaking to Vogue in September 2025, Tveit said the wedding itself came together quickly once they decided their baby should witness the vows. “In the end, she is the reason we decided to have a wedding,” he explained. “We wanted to celebrate our love with our people.”
Key priorities for the day:
- Keep it local: both actors have lived in New York City for more than two decades
- Keep it small: only closest friends and family
- Keep it canine-friendly: Miles the goldendoodle had to be part of the ceremony
The Milling Room, an American bistro on the Upper West Side housed in a restored 19th-century church, checked every box. The space allowed the couple to hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner under one roof-crucial for a June evening with an infant and a dog on the guest list.
Negotiating With the Venue
Tveit admitted he was nervous the restaurant would balk at a four-legged attendee. “The kid, they were like, ‘Of course she can come.’ But we were a little worried about the dog,” he told Ripa and Consuelos. “I just asked, ‘Is there any way we could have our dog with us?’ And we totally expected them to say no, and they said yes. So, he was able to come to this restaurant.”
The actor had even prepared a backup plan: “I was ready to say he was my emotional support animal,” he joked.
Miles stayed long enough to trot down the aisle and sit for family photos before heading home. The newly minted big sister almost made it through dinner before falling asleep in her carrier.
A Broadway-Loved Couple
Friends from the New York theater community peppered the guest list. Tveit earned a Tony nomination for Moulin Rouge! The Musical and counts Catch Me If You Can, Next to Normal, and Les Misérables among his Broadway credits. Yang, a performer and choreographer, has appeared in Hamilton, Mean Girls, and Moulin Rouge! as well; the couple met during overlapping company swings.
Tveit told Ethan R. Coleman that keeping the celebration rooted in Manhattan felt essential. “My wife and I got married in June here in New York, which is just wonderful. We’ve both been in New York City for over 20 years. So, we wanted it to be a very New York evening, and just did it at a restaurant with some of our closest friends and family,” he said. “It was amazing.”
Life After ‘I Do’
Since the wedding the family of four-counting Miles-has settled into a routine that balances eight-show weeks with bedtime stories. Tveit is back on Broadway in a limited engagement, while Yang returns to the Hamilton company this spring. Their daughter, now nearly a year old, recently attended her first rehearsal, perched in a car seat stage left while Mom ran choreography notes.
Tveit told Live with Kelly and Mark that parenthood has already reshaped his perspective. “You think you know what love is, and then this little person shows up and you realize you had no idea,” he said, smiling. “Now every love song I sing on stage feels different-it’s deeper.”
