The nuptials was an intimate affair with several of their friends and family in attendance. Around that time, Jo had already started making rounds in the comedy scene.

After the divorce between his parents, they decided to share joint custody of their son. Leading up to this point, the former flames have co-parented their boy in an excellent manner. In no way did they ever make him feel estranged and less loved, something which we generally see in a child between a divorced couple.
Moreover, Joseph has a terrific bond with both of his parents. We can say he is the glue that holds both of them together.

Back in 2020 when the whole country was in a state of lockdown, Angie stayed with her husband. Both of them decided to take this step just so their son could spend time with both of them simultaneously.
