Audrey and Mariah have yet to announce when they are getting married, although it’s clear they are still very happy together years after going public with their relationship.

What Did Audrey Kriss Share in Their Announcement?
“I just wanted to let you know that I am transgender, and my pronouns are they/them. I’m still going by Audrey,” the TLC alum shared in an Instagram statement on December 4, 2021. “I don’t want to hide myself from the world anymore.”
Audrey said they have never felt more themselves in this new chapter despite knowing that embracing their gender identity may come with some challenges. “For the first time, I look at my body and I feel free. I am starting to feel more at home, more ME. I love being trans and I love being queer,” they continued. “I am still the same person I was yesterday. I just might look a little different!”
In conclusion, Audrey also thanked the “supportive people” in their life, pointing out that others don’t always get the same positive response.
They were close friends before pursuing a romantic relationship. Mariah met Audrey when they were both undergraduates at Westminster College in Utah. After completing their programs, Mariah pursued her master’s degree in social work at Loyola University Chicago before moving back to Utah with Audrey.
Mariah proposed to Audrey at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., in January 2019. “I can’t exactly pinpoint, but it was pretty early on I knew [they were the one],” Mariah told People. “There are a lot of things about Audge that I am so in love with, and I knew that I wanted to love those things for the rest of my life.”
