Maria Taylor’s love life has largely been shielded from the public eye, but in 2019, she spilled all the details about her romance with her first husband, Rodney Blackstock. Speaking with The Knot, the renowned host revealed that they met at a basketball game in 2014 and that it was love at first sight. He proposed just shy of a year later, and wedding plans were set for June 2016. But they soon realized they were rushing into marriage and called it quits. They officially reunited three years later. By then, both were finally ready to commit. The pair exchanged vows at a beach in Destin, Florida. Reflecting on their relationship, Taylor said: “You always knew there was love, but marriage adds this layer of security. We’re going through our life together, forever.”

Sadly, it wasn’t forever at all, with the pair splitting in 2021 for undisclosed reasons. It didn’t take Taylor long to find love again, however. In February 2021, she got hitched to a mystery man, who was later revealed to be named Jon. Taylor remains discreet about her new partner, but she shared in a TikTok post that they had known each other since they were in high school. “Our road to marriage was not easy… but it was worth it. He always wants me to shine… He pushes me to see my greatness even when I doubt myself,” she gushed. “Thank you God for giving me the husband I’ve always prayed for.”
