Such a beautiful gesture by him. During this difficult time, his girlfriend supported him all the way despite their wedding delayed.

When asked about their relationship and marriage, Gretchen stated, 

“It’s no longer a concern of starting a family with him because I think that through self-realization and realizing that life happens, Slade’s unfortunately and probably never going to be completely out of debt because a lot of his debt is due to his son being ill.”

This will be the second marriage for both the actors. Slade was previously married to Michelle Arroyo, and they share two children between them, Grayson Arroyo-Smiley and Gavin Smiley.
