She and Jacobson are married

In June 2024, the couple announced that they'd wed but didn't specify the exact date of their New York nuptials. The wedding took place at Public Records, and they each wore off-the-rack dresses by The Row.

“I like a little bit of grub with my beauty," Balfour told Cultured when discussing her and Jacobson's decision to marry in Brooklyn's Gowanus neighborhood.

While an unexpected rainstorm derailed the pair's plans for an outdoor ceremony and dinner, the reception was more memorable than they could have dreamed.

"We were in a dark wooden room with no windows, an insane sound system, and a disco ball. Everyone’s nice clothes became wet rags. People were smoking who don’t smoke. Our moms did the hora. It was like we all existed in a different dimension for a while," Balfour shared.
