The Family Matters actor married his wife, Nicoletta Ruhl, on May 4, 2024. The couple first met during the pandemic and made their relationship public on New Year’s Day in 2022. White is a father to one daughter, Samaya, from a previous relationship.
To White, getting married meant committing himself to Ruhl in every aspect of their lives, he told PEOPLE in May 2024.
“We’ve each committed ourselves to loving and helping one another achieve the best possible outcome in anything we set out to do both personally and professionally,” White said.
Ruhl added, “We don’t rush anything and we always have honest intentions for one another. We both fully believe that when you force something, it won’t result in the best outcome and because of this we’ve seen a lot of blessings in our life together so far.”
