Bradley Constant and Bella Golden are married!
The Young Rock star, 28, and the model, 29, tied the knot on Tuesday, July 14 in an elopement ceremony on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The couple, who met through Instagram in 2021, had always dreamed of getting married in the place where they said “I love you” for the first time.
“Hawaii is so special to us. We spent our first vacation there and said ‘I love you’ under the stars,” Golden tells PEOPLE. “We decided to elope to really focus on our bond, our commitment to each other, and leave the rest out of mind.”
“Hawaii will always be the place we fell in love,” adds Constant, who plays a younger version of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on the NBC series.

Golden and Constant’s ceremony was officiated by Moe, who the couple says they were drawn to because he “feels like family.”
“Moe brought the energy and the culture that is so magnetic and that we so gravitate to,” explains Constant. “His energy is so strong and connected.”
They chose their ceremony location to include the natural landscape of Kauai, which is known for its lush rainforests and stunning mountain views.
“The nature in Kauai is so vibrant and alive,” says Golden. “We wanted to feel a part of the environment. Our ceremony backdrop was the island. The beach is beautiful and speaks for itself.”
Constant and Golden opted for white anthuriums, orchids, green calla lilies and trailing amaranthus for their flowers, creating a “soft, peaceful, tropical and fresh” vibe. To continue the Hawaiian theme, Constant donned a chocolate brown suit.
“I knew immediately it was the perfect choice,” he says. “We kept things loose and undone, no tie and sneakers. The energy of the island is laid back and feeling comfortable and true to us, [which] helped us both to feel most in our element.”
When the two were planning their wedding, it was most important for them to have a “simple” ceremony that focused on their commitment to one another.
“We were so lucky to have Kauai Elopements take care of so much of the planning,” the couple shares. “We were able to share what elements were important to us in the ceremony — such as the location and officiant and florals — and they all made it come together. We are so grateful for them!”
Golden and Constant shared private vows at the One Hotel beforehand as they overlooked Hanalei Bay. Then, immediately after their ceremony, they went out on their first date as husband and wife at Bar Acuda Hanalei.
“Choosing to elope let us focus on the moment rather than perfect,” Golden says of the couple’s decision to forgo a traditional wedding. “It‘s like you think about it for years, you plan all the details, but in the moment it’s just you and the love of your life, standing across from each other looking into their eyes and planning forever. And suddenly that’s all that matters.”
“It was passionate, romantic and perfect for us,” adds Constant. “It rained all day and the sunset came out right as we walked onto the beach. It felt so magical.”
Constant and Golden first connected on Instagram when Golden saw a picture of the actor on her Explore page. She reached out, and the two began chatting.
“Seeing a notification that she messaged me took over my whole day,” remembers Constant. “I was so focused on what to say or how quickly to respond.”
“We texted for a while before finally meeting for our first date — a hike that turned into hours of chatting, laughing, walking into the beach, and ended at a Mexican restaurant sipping margaritas,” shares Golden. “We didn’t want that date to end. We just enjoyed being together. Five years later, on October 16th, we got engaged.”
Constant got down on one knee in Laguna Beach, Calif. As a mariachi band played “Bésame Mucho,” he proposed to Golden with a vintage mermaid ring box and an emerald-cut gold ring from Brilliant Earth.
As the two look ahead to life as a married couple, they share that they can’t wait to start a family together.
“To have the blessing of experiencing life with my best friend,” Constant says of what he’s most looking forward to. “Experiencing the world with her. Having babies.”
“To get to spend every day of my life with this person that makes life so good,” says Golden. “To get to make so many more amazing memories together. To be together in every chapter of our lives. [And] having babies.”
