In a celebration filled with love and warmth, home designer Gray Benko has married Bobby McCullough, declaring it “one of the most beautiful weekends of my life.” The couple exchanged vows shortly after announcing their engagement just four months prior, with the joyful occasion captured in a series of images shared on Benko’s Instagram on June 23.
The enchanting wedding weekend saw the couple surrounded by close friends and family, showcasing memorable moments from their special day. “I was going to wait until we have the professional photos and video to share… but I couldn’t do it,” Benko explained in her post, which expressed gratitude to those who joined in the celebration. She also extended a heartfelt thank you to her new husband, whom she affectionately referred to as her best friend.
In a heartwarming carousel of photos, the couple’s Instagram showcased snapshots of joyous gatherings, delightful clips from the ceremony, and memorable moments from the reception. One particularly charming photo features McCullough giving Benko a tender kiss on the cheek, capturing the essence of their relationship.
The couple’s journey to marriage began publicly only four months ago, when Benko announced their engagement in a March 17 Instagram post. Accompanying the announcement were a collection of images chronicling their relationship, which Benko described as a “major life update.” Reflecting on their bond, she shared, “I know people talk about getting engaged to their best friend but, in this case, I mean it literally. I have never gotten to experience falling in love with someone who, at one point, was just my best friend.”
Benko went on to share the joy that McCullough brings into her life, stating, “The way he makes me laugh harder than anyone else can make me laugh. The way he makes life feel light for my children.” Her heartfelt message concluded with an expression of excitement for their future together, stating her eagerness to spend the rest of her life in love and laughter with him.
This new chapter for Gray Benko follows her previous marriage to Mike Benko, her former co-star on the Magnolia Network series “Happy to be Home with the Benkos.” The couple, who share two children — daughter Farris and son Charlie — quietly separated earlier in 2023, with reports confirming that their separation took place in April of that year.
During their time together, Gray and Mike Benko showcased their home design talents on their popular television series, which featured Gray managing interior designs while Mike took on tasks like painting and woodwork. Their project spotlighted their combined efforts as they transformed various spaces.
In a subsequent exploration of her career, Gray Benko hosted the show “Anything But Gray,” which premiered in October 2025 on Magnolia Network. This series not only highlights her design prowess but also features her partner Chelcie Eastman and her father, affectionately known as “Grumpy,” as they work to reimagine homes in Charleston, South Carolina.
As she embraces her new beginnings, Benko’s marriage to McCullough marks a fresh start filled with promise and passion. The couple’s journey, stemming from a deep friendship, has blossomed into a remarkable love story that resonates with their fans and followers alike.
With the wedding now complete, both Gray and Bobby McCullough look forward to sharing their lives together while blending their families. With their shared commitment to love and support one another, this vivacious couple appears well on their way to building a future that holds plenty of laughter and joy.
As the couple begins this exciting new chapter, there will undoubtedly be more beautiful moments to share, and the world will be eager to follow their journey as they navigate marriage and family life together.
