Family Matters star Jaleel White, better known as Urkel on the sitcom, has officially tied the knot. He married tech exec Nicoletta Ruhl in a country club wedding. The actor felt like royalty at his wedding.
“I felt like a prince,” White said of their wedding. White invited all of his close friends and family out to the occasion. His wedding wouldn’t be complete without his daughter Samya there. The 14-year-old is the daughter of White and ex-girlfriend Bridget Hardy. Other guests who made the list include Omar Miller, Lamorne Morris, Adam Ray, and Mekhi Phifer.
“It was important for all of the people that carry an impact on our daily lives to be present and for each and every one of them to enjoy themselves and feel as though they were part of something intimate and meaningful,” Ruhl told People. In total, the actor and exec invited 175 people to their dream wedding.
Weddings are extremely busy as I can vouch for having got married myself. However, the actor wanted to make sure that every guest felt welcomed at the wedding. White said that the couple made sure they had “enough time to spend with the people who have had a positive impact on our lives and continue to support us daily.”

Leave it to White to bring a certain amount of style and class to his wedding. The happy couple made a grand costume change during the reception. They then proceeded to dance to Marvin Gaye’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”
Music was a big part of the wedding. How big you might ask? Well, they had three DJs at the occasion. White and Ruhl began dating during the pandemic. They later went public with their relationship on New Year’s Day in 2022. The image featured the pair sharing a tender moment.
“New year, same peeps,” she captioned the post. White shared how happy he was to finally marry the love of his life. The actor said, “We’ve each committed ourselves to loving and helping one another achieve the best possible outcome in anything we set out to do both personally and professionally.”
