Who Is Tomi Lahren's Husband? The Sportjournalist Just Married JP Arencibia
After the end of a marriage on his end and calling off an engagement on her end, Tomi Lahren and her husband, JP Arencibia, found love again. After saying 'I do,' the couple took to social media to share pictures from their wedding day, which he called the 'best day' of his life.
While Arencibia had already made it down the aisle with a famous country singer, Lahren was about to marry another athlete, Brandon Fricke. Arencibia and Lahren took time after their respective relationships ended before they were romantically linked in early 2021.
Eleven weeks after grabbing dinner, Arencibia took to social media to share that he was both proud and lucky to call Lahren his. Since then, they've documented their engagement and wedding, which Lahren revealed had cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
JP Arencibia Is a Former MLB Player
Born on May 1, 1986, in Miami, Arencibia was drafted by the Toronto Blue Rays in 2007, where he played catcher. He played baseball in high school and continued playing after enrolling at the University of Tennessee. He also played professional baseball for the Rangers and Jays before retiring in 2017.
Arencibia did not stray too far from the game after retirement and became a pre and post-match analyst for the Marlins' Broadcasts on Fox Sports Florida. Arencibia has also been married once before. In 2012, he began dating Kimberly Perry from the country group The Band Perry after the exes met at a festival.
In October 2013, he proposed under a tree at her family home in Greenville, Tennessee. By June 2014, they were husband and wife, with big names such as Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton present during their wedding ceremony. In March 2018, Perry filed for divorce.
After releasing her song "The Good Life" a year later, fans guessed that the cause of their separation had been cheating on Arencibia's part. Perry did not mention him by name, and when the former baseball player went to set the record straight, he said:
"While matters of our relationship and what led to the demise of our marriage should remain between us, I will say there was no infidelity."
Arencibia and Lahren sparked daring rumors in 2021 and soon after confirmed their relationship on Instagram. Since making their relationship public, they have not been shy in sharing more of their romance with fans.
They Started Dating Less than a Year after She Called Off Her Engagement to Brandon Fricke
After calling off her engagement to Fricke in 2020 and meeting Arencibia about a year later, the former baseball player proposed in September 2021. Lahren took to social media to share their engagement pictures and wrote in her caption that she had found her best friend.
She posted the first picture from their wedding day on October 22. The big day occurred at Mint Springs Farms, which, according to its Instagram page, is just outside Nashville. On her wedding day, Lahren wore a dress from Olia Zavozina.
She posed in a fitted gown and cape and modeled for the bridal line's new collection. In multiple posts from the special day, Arencibia shared photos of the newlyweds saying 'I do,' and in the caption, he wrote:
"Best day of my life. I got to marry my best friend. We burned it down and had one hell of a celebration."
Before her wedding day, Lahren spoke about the final preparations leading to the big day and revealed that she had spent more than double the average cost of a wedding, twenty-seven thousand dollars. Unlike Prince William and Princess Kate's globally televised wedding, Lahren initially wanted something small-scale.
She didn't see the hefty bill coming. However, it proved worth it after they both called it the best day of their lives. Lahren was already anticipating the big day after she called Arencibia her husband in a tweet in early October.
