Ryan Blaney’s Racing Career
Ryan Blaney drives the No. 12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Team Penske in the NASCAR Cup Series. The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion has accumulated 13 victories, 81 top five finishes, and 149 top ten finishes over nine full time seasons. His father Dave Blaney is a former NASCAR racer known as the “Buckeye Bullet,” and his uncle Dale Blaney was a sprint car driver.
In 2025, Blaney qualified for the playoffs after winning at Nashville Superspeedway. He has expressed interest in attempting the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR double, calling it “really special” for drivers who get the opportunity.
Personal Life and Family
Ryan and Gianna first met in 2018 at the Losers Bar inside MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Blaney was there for a NASCAR event while Tulio was in town for a Hooters modeling assignment. They kept their relationship private before going public in 2020. The couple got engaged in Leavenworth, Washington in December 2023, shortly after Blaney won his first Cup Series championship.
Their wedding in Aspen attracted 150 to 200 guests including NASCAR stars Chase Elliott, Scott McLaughlin, Daniel Hemric, Austin Cindric, Bubba Wallace, Josef Newgarden, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. with his wife Amy. The couple chose a winter wedding because the holidays are their favorite time of year.
In June 2025, Gianna announced she is pregnant with their first child, a baby boy expected in late 2025. She has been open about experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe pregnancy complication causing significant nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. Gianna receives medicated IV infusions twice a week at the hospital to manage the condition.
The couple lives together in their mansion in Huntersville, North Carolina. The 10 acre property features an open concept layout, gourmet kitchen, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a powder room, koi pond, and private courtyard. Blaney purchased the home for $1.6 million after it was originally listed for $1,649,000.
Gianna experienced personal loss in 2024 when her stepfather passed away in April after being part of her family for 15 years. In December 2024, her uncle Dominic A. Tulio passed away at age 53, just days after her wedding to Ryan.
