Colletti and Weaver, a NASCAR reporter and host, tied the knot in October 2025 after getting engaged in November 2023.
The couple announced in January that they were expecting their first child. Ahead of Rhodes' birth, Colletti exclusively told Us Weekly that he was looking to Lafferty, a new dad himself, for tips. (Lafferty, 40, and Park, 37, welcomed their first baby, son River, in December 2025.)
"I have been leaning on him," Colletti said in May. "I've been watching him forge the path of fatherhood, and I've been so impressed with what he and [his wife] Alex together have been doing. It's just so cool to see your best friends go through that journey and to be right behind them and getting excited here for my wife and I."
