Last year, they celebrated their decade of love and Daniela shared on social media: "I knew this was the man I would build a life with, parent with, argue with, cook with, travel with, be mad at, be excited about, make mistakes with and celebrate life's victories with. He was my person from the moment we met, and I was his."
