How Did Matthew Morrison And Renee Puente Meet?
Matthew Morrison is best known for acting in the hit TV show ‘Glee,’ as well as a number of other projects; yet, little is known about the gifted actor’s love story with his wife, Renee Puente.
In 2002, Puente was previously married to Doug Stanhope, a writer-actor-comedian, before marrying Matthew. Although the union did not last long.
Before finding Renee, even Mathew had a slew of high-profile romances. He dated Olivia Munn, Kelly Brook, Kristen Bell, and plenty of other celebrities. Renee, on the other hand, was unconcerned about all of this.
Matthew and Puente met at Grammy’s party in 2011 for the first time. While Matthew was walking, he overheard her conversing in pidgin which piqued his interest. Renee was drawn to Matthew because he attempted to impress her by speaking Hawaiian.
“I sang backup for a guy named Don Ho in high school, and spent summers in Hawaii,” Matthew told The New York Post about his initiative. “So I responded, “Howzit, Sistah?” when I heard her speak, and she chuckled. “The rest is history,” he concluded.
They chatted a little more time in simple English and the couple started dating. Puente also spent most of her time on Matthew’s tour bus when he was out for his new record.
After two years of dating, Matthew Morrison popped the question sitting on one knee Maui after horseriding and proposed to Renee with a sapphire-and-diamond ring. It was a heartwarming moment for both of them.
In 2013, the couple got engaged at London’s White Tie and Tiara Ball, where their pal Elton John, Chris Martin, and David Furnish mesmerized the couple with ‘Your Song.’
After years of seeing together, the couple exchanged the vows the next year on October 18, 2014, with only 50 guests at a private event in Maui.
Matthew was taken aback when his wife began playing the ukulele and sang her late mother’s favorite song, Top of the World by The Carpenters.
Welcoming Their First Baby
The couple has been married for 8 years. On October 22, 2017, Renee and Matthew announced the arrival of Revel James Makai Morrison on Renee’s official Instagram account by the username “reneemmorrison.”
“I can’t begin to express my immeasurable gratitude for being the one you chose as your Mama!,” Renee stated.
She also added, “My Revel James Makai Morrison, I promise to cherish you, to constantly remind you that you are worthy of love and belonging, to teach you compassion and kindness.”
Parenting Struggles
Last year, Morrison confirmed that he and his lovely wife Renee Morrison are expecting their second child together on March 16, 2021, by posting an ultrasound picture that was lit with text and colors.
Matthew Morrison opened up about the struggle of becoming parents in his post where he said, “The thing that resonates most when I look back on this past year is the amplification of love that our little tribe has been gifted. We have had the time to fill our cups with wonder, conversation, and the joys of watching our toddler thrive.”
The star also said that he and his wife had been trying to have their second child for a long; unfortunately, they have suffered three miscarriages and heartbreaking pregnancy difficulties in the past. He says it himself:
“After 3 miscarriages, a pandemic, and the loss of many loved ones… Renee, Revel, and I are elated to be bringing a little joy into the world. Patience, reflection, and introspection are a few of the many tools that we have learned this year. And we are excited to bring those tools into our parenting.”
Matthew Morrison and his wife Renee Morrison shared news of their second child, Phoenix Monroe Morrison’s arrival on Monday, June 28, 2021. The couple also released the first pictures of their newborn, which show them posing with Revel James Makai, their then-3½-year-old son.
