Johanna and Jackson's wedding came just seven months after they got engaged on her 30th birthday in May 2021. In an interview with HELLO!, Johanna gushed about the romantic proposal. "I'm happy, I mean obviously we got engaged on my birthday which was about a month ago so it's been some time since we got engaged," she previously said.

"I've gotten used to it already - it's been really nice." She added: "The proposal was kind of a surprise but at the same time it wasn't."
Asked how she celebrated the news, Johanna revealed: "To be honest, we didn't really keep this a secret by any means. It's so interesting as it's not until you put it on social media that it becomes well-known. It's so funny. Celebrations-wise, we haven't done anything massive really. We've just stayed us."
