Merritt Patterson is officially off the market. Back in October 2021, Patterson posted a picture of herself and her significant other embracing via Instagram. Patterson was visibly wearing an engagement ring on her wedding finger in the black-and-white image. She simply captioned the photo, "08.12.21," alongside a white heart emoji. Following this news, the Hallmark Channel star was interviewed for an Over the Moon blog post as she and her partner, a talent agent named JR Ringer, were tying the knot in a 2022 ceremony that took place in Italy. "You can't go wrong in Italy! The people, the food, the landscape — everything is incredible," Patterson said. 

In the post, it was also shared that the spouses had first crossed paths at a music festival five years prior to the nuptials. When the two wed, their immediate family members and just a few close companions were present. During the intimate wedding, the attendees were not occupied with distractions, as they turned off their cell phones at the event. "We wanted the ceremony to really reflect us as a couple and what we value — not necessarily what's traditional," Patterson said. In addition, the actor revealed a photo of herself and Ringer smiling on their wedding day, per Instagram. Patterson has previously shown some special moments with Ringer.
