She has since gone on to star in the CW\u2019s Dynasty<\/em> reboot as Fallon Carrington. She\u2019s also been featured in many of Grande\u2019s artistic accomplishments, including singing on her Christmas album and appearing in the music videos for \u201cThank U Next\u201d and \u201cRight There.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gillies met her now-husband, Michael Corcoran, when they were working together on the Nickelodeon show, Victorious<\/em>. At the time, Corcoran was 36-years-old, and Gillies was 16-years-old.<\/p>\n

Gillies was one of the stars of the sitcom and Corcoran co-wrote and produced the songs Gillies sang on the show<\/a>. Corcoran is also known for making music for other Nickelodeon shows like iCarly<\/em> and Zoey 101<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Their Low-Key Dating Life<\/h2>\n

For the duration of their pre-marriage relationship, Gillies and Corcoran kept their dating life on the down-low for some obvious reasons. Gillies was 18, and Corcoran was 38 when they first started dating. But, they met as co-workers when she was only 16. <\/p>\n

According to Gillies, \u201cI always had a crush on him\u2026 But I played it cool.\u201d <\/p>\n

The couple dated for six years before tying the knot, but fans weren\u2019t aware they were together until after the nuptials.<\/p>\n

After Gillies\u2019 show Dynasty<\/em> got picked up for its third season, she convinced Corcoran to relocate to Atlanta so they could be together while filming. Corcoran agreed despite his love for California, and together, they bought a house in Atlanta. The day after they closed on the house, Corcoran proposed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gillies told Vogue<\/em>, \u201cWhen we got there, he started leading me down to the backyard\u2026 I had no idea what he was doing. All of a sudden he got down on one knee and proposed to me right there. I was totally surprised. It was a perfect proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liz And Michael Had A Sweet Micro Wedding<\/h2>\n

The couple originally planned to get married on April 25, 2020, when the pair would be 27 and 47, respectively. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, things didn\u2019t go as they had hoped.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\u201cOnce we saw how dire the situation was, we knew we had to postpone,\u201d she told Vogue<\/em>. \u201cIt was a no-brainer for us. Aside from the obvious travel and crowd restrictions, it didn\u2019t feel right to be celebrating in such a big way when there was so much going on in the world. It would have been in poor taste to burden people by asking them to risk their lives to come to our wedding. There were more important things to focus on. Our wedding could wait.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, as was true for so many, the state of the world started to change the couple\u2019s view of their dream wedding. <\/p>\n

According to Gillies, \u201c\u2026as time went on, we decided a big wedding was no longer something that made sense for us. The virus really put things into perspective. That being said, we did want to get married as long as it could be done in a safe and intimate setting with a group that we trusted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair picked a venue in New Jersey near Gillies\u2019 family. For Gillies, safety was the number one priority, so flying across state lines was a definite no-go. Instead, they opted to drive a Class A RV with their dogs to the venue. On August 8th, the small wedding of only 10 guests went off without a hitch, and Gillies was over the moon, saying, \u201cI\u2019m very happy with the way [it] turned out. I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve had it any other way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some Fans Didn\u2019t Take The Wedding News Well<\/h3>\n

Even with the many precautions they took and their very private approach, Gillies\u2019 wedding announcement on Instagram<\/a> attracted more than just congratulations for the newlyweds. The wedding photo was the first time most of the public had heard of this unlikely match. Many fans expressed concern<\/a> for Gillies\u2019 relationship. Accusations of grooming and the couples\u2019 questionable age gap flooded Twitter and Gillies\u2019 Instagram comments.<\/p>\n

Fans aren\u2019t wrong to express their worry, however, Gillies and Corcoran seem genuinely happy together. As Gillies said,\u00a0 \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s about you and the person you love. The rest doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
