Not much is known about him as he tries to keep his personal information private. His fiancée, nicknamed Teresa G on social media, is a former ice dancing champion and received her MST degree from Fordham University in May.
A scroll of their social media feeds shows the couple have known each other since 2016. Pictures on social media reveal Blake is a doting big brother to little sister Dakota, nine.
The A League of Their Own star revealed in a touching essay for People in September that the girl had been diagnosed with autism, writing: “I’m learning to have a much deeper compassion than ever. To really listen and communicate in a way I never had to with my other kids. The sense of vulnerability that comes with having a child with autism was a gift to me. She teaches me.”
Big Brother: Parker is a doting big brother to younger sister Dakota, nine. Revealing earlier this year that the girl was diagnosed with autism, Rosie wrote, “The sense of vulnerability that comes with having a child with autism has been a gift to me.”
