Meeting through Malin Akerman’s younger sister’s boyfriend, they were friends for two years before they started dating.
“When I first started dating Jack, I dared him to strip for me and my girlfriends poolside because he claimed he had worked as a Chippendales dancer for a summer in England – and he did! That’s when I knew I was going to marry him,” she said in an interview about daring Jack Donnelly to put on a strip show.

Announcing their engagement in October 2017, they married in a seaside ceremony on December 1, 2018, in Tulum, Mexico.
“[A year after that,] Jack came to the door with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and proceeded to take me out for dinner at my favorite spot in Brooklyn,” Malin told Vogue.
“We sat in the garden and closed the place down. When we got home, he called me to our room, where he got down on one knee and asked the big question with a beautifully designed ring.”

“We’ve talked about [siblings] before,” Akerman told Us Weekly in 2019 about wanting another child. “He’s curious about it. I don’t think he actually knows what it means! I think he wants a sibling his age, which would be interesting. But we’ll see.”
