At the premiere held in Santa Monica, California, the 40-year-old star spoke exclusively to PEOPLE, detailing his feelings as the couple prepares to welcome their baby. “It sounds crazy, but I’m ready for my life to be put upside down in that way,” Colletti remarked. He praised his wife’s strength throughout her pregnancy, describing her as a “superhero” and saying, “She’s been such a badass.”
Colletti appeared genuinely impressed by Weaver’s handling of the pregnancy journey. “I honestly thought it was going to be very overwhelming,” he admitted. “And it is, but she’s taking it in stride. And I’m like, damn, what a badass. Excuse me. But she is.” His enthusiasm for the impending arrival was evident, as he stated he felt “fortunate” to begin this new chapter of their lives together.
The couple first disclosed their pregnancy news in a heartfelt joint post on Instagram featuring a black-and-white photograph taken on a beach, where they were seen lovingly cradling Weaver’s baby bump. In another photo within the same post, Weaver beamed as she held her belly with one hand and Colletti’s hand with the other, leading them to caption it simply, “Mom & Dad 🤍.”
Colletti and Weaver initially began dating in 2021, and their romance blossomed into an engagement two years later in a picturesque setting in Rome. Following the proposal, which took place on November 15, 2023, they spoke candidly about how Colletti successfully concealed his intentions for the day. Weaver recounted that he cleverly suggested they take a “Christmas card photo” to ensure she was dressed for the occasion, keeping her unaware of the impending proposal.
In October 2025, the couple further celebrated their love by announcing their marriage on Instagram. The post showcased photos from an intimate courthouse ceremony, where they were surrounded by their closest family members. They described their wedding day as “beautifully intimate,” expressing gratitude for having loved ones by their side.
As both Colletti and Weaver look to the future, they know they have a great deal to learn about becoming parents. “We’re going to have a lot, a lot to learn,” Colletti acknowledged. Their heartfelt remarks indicate a deep bond as they embark on this significant journey together.
Fans of the couple can look forward to seeing more from them, as ‘The Reunion: Laguna Beach’ is set to debut on the Roku Channel on April 10. As the couple transitions into parenthood, many will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on their journey, anticipating the joy and the challenges they will undoubtedly encounter.
As they prepare for this next adventure, Colletti’s excitement and confidence shine through, promising to make for a heartwarming story as he and Weaver embrace the joys of family life.
