As for the last-minute nuptials,the couple intended on just taking a typical romantic trip for Valentine’s Dayto the Wynn hotel, but then it quickly turned into a lifetime commitment. “Sean and Jody share a best friend, Courtenay Semal, which was the reason why they kept reconnecting over the years. They both have famous families, they just get each other,” the source shares, noting that the couple is “so much alike” and are “born two days apart” from one another.

After Sean’s sweet proposal, he called his mom Alana Stewart on the way to the courthouse and the source says that it took her a minute to really know if he was serious or not, “as he’s known as a bit of a jokester in the family.”
When they sent her photos and videos after they made it official, “she cried” and was “so so happy for him.” Sean also talked to his dad, Rod, who was heading to Tampato play an intimate show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. “His dad was so happy to hear the news,” the source says.

For the casual ceremony, Sean wore jeans and a YSL sweater, while the bride rocked a black, cashmere jumpsuit. “They just went back to the hotel after. It was kind of like, ‘Holy s—, we just got married,’ but they were so so excited and didn’t regret one thing. Their relationship and connection is solid.”
When the couple got back to Los Angeles, they celebrated with Rod and Alana at Nobu in Malibu. Sean’s parents married in 1979, then divorced in 1984. Rod is now married to his wife of 14 years, Penny Lancaster.
