New York City Ballet Stars Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia: A Love Story Unfolds on the Dance Floor
The New York City Ballet managed to love the life-story of two principal dancers of the Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia, the lovers who recently announced their engagement, that was getting mistaken for the very ballet that is. Theirs is an incredible story, full of love, partnership, and a shared love for New York City, a city that brought them together.
A Proposal Worthy of Center Stage
On September 15th, 24, Mr. Mejia orchestrated a proposal that really summed up their love affair perfectly. In the Mandarin Oriental hotel, after a romantic dinner at an upscale restaurant, Mejia suggested that they go to the suite overlooking Central Park, and when they are there, he was the one who asked the life-changing question.
About the jewelry, which was created by Stephanie Gottlieb, the jeweler preferred by Peck, the understanding of it is twofold. The ring is actually the stone, which belonged to Peck's grandmother that is also embedded inside, contains both of their birthstones, a detail that Peck stated as one of her "favorite parts."
From Dance Partners to Life Partners
Their relationship, which started as a professional partnership, blossomed into a very close friendship. They were first met as dance partners and their relationship strengthened even further during the COVID-19 pandemic when they were shifted and lived together to continue their work.
You would think that I was going to say "The man is my favorite partner and now every audition he wins he gets to have me as his partner," but it is the other way around," Peck, who is a choreographer of several well-known ballet companies and who even delved into acting and television, involved herself in projects like "John Wick: Chapter 3" and casted herself in "Tiny Pretty Things" and "Ballet NOW," said in her words.
A Match Made in Ballet Heaven
Peck and Mejia added to their partnership by bringing in their impeccable credentials. Among the other things, Peck has acted as a choreographer for many prestigious ballet companies and went into film and television also, producing projects such as "John Wick: Chapter 3" and starring in "Tiny Pretty Things" and "Ballet NOW"
One of the most revered ballet companies in the world, the company of Mejia, the ones who are reveling in the career of the dancers of New York City Ballet the most is the NYC Ballet.
Looking Towards the Future
The couple, while they are now enjoying their engagement, could not yet think about the wedding celebration. We remain "happy being engaged for now," according to Peck.
Their love story, which has inspired people both in the dance world and the world at large, is a glaring example of the fact that common aspirations can become the seed of a relationship as deep and as long-lasting as no other. As Peck and Mejia keep dancing through life together their story will be a source of inspiration to many, both on stage and off stage.
