Jordan and Ellie, a clinical nutritionist, tied the knot last year in a private Disney's Fairy Tale Wedding ceremony in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort on Nov. 21, PEOPLE exclusively revealed at the time.

The Dancing with the Stars champion and his then-fiancée exchanged custom vows outdoors at the stroke of midnight on the back courtyard of the Cinderella Castle before celebrating their new union with a pared-down reception.

"We already had such a great foundation. We've been together for a long time and been friends even longer than that," said the actor, who proposed in May of 2019. "We're partners in life... Having somebody that knows you inside out and can lean on [is so special]."

The To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You star and his wife, who are both from Birmingham, Alabama, met when the actor was 13 years old. They "were best friends growing up," he previously told PEOPLE, and after their relationship turned romantic as adults, he knew "pretty much two months into dating" that she was "the one."

The soon-to-be mom told PEOPLE in 2019 that the two are planning for a family-packed future together.

"His goal in life is to have a family. I'm not an actress or in the entertainment industry in any way, so it was really important for me to find a husband that was grounded and had goals that were the same as mine," she said. "For us to both agree that family was the most important thing that we get out of life was a big sign for me."
