Jaleel White, famous for his role in “Family Matters” and author of the upcoming book “Growing Up Urkel,” recently tied the knot with tech executive Nicoletta Ruhl.


The couple exchanged vows at the elegant Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles on May 4th, surrounded by 175 guests, in a celebration filled with love, good food, and great music.

Ruhl, sharing her thoughts with PEOPLE, expressed the importance of having their loved ones present to share in the joy of their union.

She emphasized creating an intimate and meaningful experience for everyone involved, ensuring that each guest felt valued and part of something special.

The wedding décor was elegantly neutral, setting a sophisticated tone for the festivities.

Jaleel White praised the “5 star food” and the incredible music provided by three phenomenal DJs throughout the event.

However, what mattered most to the couple was spending quality time with those who have positively impacted their lives and continue to support them.

Following the heartfelt vows, which marked White’s first marriage, the couple and their guests enjoyed a sumptuous dinner featuring filet mignon and branzino with vegetables.

The highlight of the evening came with the cutting of a decadent red velvet wedding cake, offering flavors of lemon, funfetti, and vanilla.

A delightful surprise awaited the attendees as the newlyweds changed outfits and treated everyone to a choreographed dance set to Marvin Gaye’s iconic “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”

The moment encapsulated the joy and love shared between Jaleel and Nicoletta.

The couple’s journey to marriage began during the pandemic when they crossed paths while working out at UCLA’s track.

Their relationship blossomed, with Nicoletta Ruhl making their love public on Instagram on New Year’s Day in 2022.


They later attended the premiere of Jaleel White’s movie, Hustle, together, accompanied by his daughter.

For Jaleel and Nicoletta, marriage symbolizes a commitment to supporting each other in all aspects of life, both personally and professionally.

They believe in taking things at their own pace, with genuine intentions toward each other, leading to countless blessings in their life together.

Looking back on their magical wedding day, Jaleel White expressed feeling like a prince, capturing the essence of a fairy tale come to life.
