Aaron Carpenter, the social media sensation and singer who rose to prominence on Vine, has largely kept his romantic life private, with his most significant and publicly documented relationship being with model and influencer Connar Franklin. Their journey from mutual friends to husband and wife has captivated fans, culminating in a grand wedding that marked a new chapter in Carpenter's life.
The couple's connection reportedly began around New Year's Eve 2017, as hinted by Franklin in a later Instagram post, stating, "I knew you’d be my Valentine’s 4eva since NYE 2017." While they initially kept their budding romance out of the public eye, Connar Franklin made their relationship Instagram official in July 2018, excitedly announcing, "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO BE COOL ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEY @aaroncarpenter." This public confirmation solidified their status as a couple in the eyes of their followers.
Over the next few years, their relationship blossomed, with both Aaron and Connar sharing glimpses of their life together on social media, showcasing a strong bond built on friendship and mutual affection. Connar, known for her modeling career and her close friendship with Selena Gomez, brought an additional layer of public interest to their pairing, often appearing alongside Carpenter in various social settings and online content.
The long-standing relationship reached a significant milestone when Aaron Carpenter proposed to Connar Franklin on January 1, 2023. Both shared the joyous news on Instagram, with Carpenter captioning his post simply, "Forever to go." The engagement announcement was met with widespread excitement from fans and fellow celebrities, marking a clear intention for their future together.
Just eight months after their engagement, Aaron Carpenter and Connar Franklin exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony on August 26, 2023. The wedding took place at the historic Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, a sprawling 8,000-acre property featuring a 250-room castle. The event was a grand affair, with Connar walking down a custom 200-foot-long aisle to the sounds of a 20-piece orchestra playing Taylor Swift's "Invisible String."
For the ceremony, Aaron Carpenter wore a classic black Tom Ford tuxedo, while Connar Franklin looked stunning in an iconic Elie Saab Bridal gown, featuring long sleeves and a dramatic skirt. The wedding was a testament to their enduring love, celebrated amidst family and friends, including Connar's father, who officiated the ceremony. Selena Gomez, a close friend of Connar, celebrated with her at her bridal shower, and expressed her joy for the couple on social media, though her attendance at the wedding itself was not widely confirmed.
