Howey first revealed that she was in a relationship in November 2014 during an interview with Complex. When asked what she likes to do in her spare time, she revealed that she was seeing someone.

"I live with my boyfriend, and we see lots of movies," she shared. "I love going to farmer's markets, they're my favorite thing in the world. I just think they're so fun; you get little samples and you can buy flowers and fruit and stuff. And, because I'm from L.A., I spend a lot of time with my family. Luckily I get to see them all the time."

He married Howey in 2021

After originally scheduling their wedding for 2020, the couple pushed back their ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They tied the knot on July 24, 2021, in a backyard garden in Palos Verdes, California. About a hundred of their closest friends and family members attended the ceremony.

"It was the most beautiful feeling to be surrounded by so many people we love. The night was more magical than I could have ever imagined," Howey told PEOPLE of the ceremony, which was followed by a reception catered by a local restaurant. "I wish all of my nights could end with a Son of a Gun fried chicken sandwich and a Spice Girls dance party."

Howey wore an A La Robe gown from Loho Bride and walked down the aisle to "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers.
