Though it's unclear how the couple met and exactly when they started dating, they confirmed their relationship with exclusive photos on Daily Drama. Just one month later, they made their red carpet debut at the Daytime Emmy Awards. "Our first red carpet together," Michelle wrote in an Instagram post at the time, adding: "It was a dream of a night from beginning to end. Thank you for all the beautiful kind comments & messages. I'm truly grateful." They got engaged in January 2025.

I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend, growing together each day in faith and love." Michelle shared: "Gosh, he's proven that fairy tale love truly exists. He's like pure sunshine — always uplifting, endlessly caring. His love makes me a better person every single day. To have the most incredible man I've ever known by my side forever brings me so much peace and happiness. He is the love of my life, and I feel so blessed to call him mine."

While Steve's passion is acting, Michelle's is cooking, and she runs an Instagram account with over 100k followers where she posts all of her recipes. She also showcased her cooking skills on Netflix's cooking competition show Barbeque Showdown. She was featured in season two of the show in 2023, and later eliminated in the sixth episode.
In a tribute to the experience on Instagram afterwards, she wrote: "Take the chance, be yourself, push past your comfort zone and find your fire," and reflected: "If you do get the opportunity, take it. I'm so glad I did. It changed me in so many ways, bonded me with friends who are now family, opened up incredible opportunities and showed my girls you can do WHATEVER you dream."
