The exciting post comes shortly after Graziano shared a video of the couple dancing in the streets, telling his followers that their wedding will take place in June. "I met you because of dancing and in seven months you'll be my WIFE," he wrote in the caption. "I know how LUCKY I am. TI AMO [I love you in Italian] @giada.lini." Giada was quick to reply with: "Fell so lucky to have you in my life! Loved that moment. Ti amo."

Graziano, 25, regularly shares sweet tributes to his fiancée. She shared her first photo of Graziano when they first started dating in 2015, and the pair have been inseparable ever since. Last year, pro star Graziano told HELLO! that his partner would be joining him for some of the show's special routines. "She's so excited by this new adventure, too," explained Graziano, who has been dating the 28-year-old Venetian for three years. "We both are." He continued: "And it was so good meeting the judges. Bruno told me how pleased he was to have a fellow Italian on the show."
