Living life in the public eye is one of the hardest things for celebrities. Whether the paparazzi lurk around every corner or their name shows up in every tabloid, some find it very difficult to live privately. 

There are, however, quite a few celebs who seem to have that whole privacy thing on lock. And both Olimp and Carrigan are definitely among them.

The pair is very private and lives a life away from the limelight. They had an intimate wedding on June 22, 2018, and it is believed that they have lived a very blissful conjugal life ever since.

Olimp shared their wedding news on her Facebook account with a heartwarming caption that read:

"Three years ago, I met him at the subway in New York. It was summer solstice, wrong station, wrong train, but right moment. I didn't know I could love this much."

The caption continued:

"@carriganagain you are the man of my dreams, amazing inspiration, and now my HUSBAND!!!! I'm excited for our new adventures and many Green Thursdays that we are gonna have! Volim te! 🌞🌹☀️🍾🌊🍷🌸🖤🖤🖤💍💋🌺"

During his interview on NBC's Late Night With Seth Meyers, Anthony revealed that he met Gia on the train in New York in 2015. To be specific, it was the Broadway-Lafayette Street train station.

Gia Olimp And Anthony Carrigan's Blissful Relationship

As mentioned earlier, Anthony and Gia rarely make public appearances, but it becomes the talk of the town when they do. 

Back in 2019, the pair attended the Screen Actors Guild awards event and had nothing but good things to say about each other.

They both looked smitten in love, and when an interviewer asked Carrigan about his relationship with his wife Gia, he stated his married life is wonderful. 

He still feels surreal that he wakes up next to his beautiful spouse every morning.

Likewise, Gia also made her husband blush talking about him. She shared how she felt about his performance in Barry.

" I am beyond proud. Have you not seen him? Come on, so proud. I am a little too much proud and cry a little sometimes."

Also, she confessed that she didn't know she could love anyone before meeting Carrigan- he is the man of her dreams and an amazing inspiration.

Furthermore, the couple admits they often spend time together playing chess.

The pair certainly have an emotional connection; the Barry star has frequently admitted that his partner has helped him cope with his condition-alopecia areata. 

She helped him build confidence in himself and pushed him to accept his reality in a better way.
