Ballet Power Couple Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia Reveal Intimate Life Behind the Curtain

Tiler Peck, 36, and Roman Mejia, 25, are principal dancers with the New York City Ballet who have found love both on and off the stage. The couple met 8 years ago when Mejia was just an apprentice and Peck was an established performer. Over the years, their professional partnership deepened into a personal connection, which blossomed during the COVID-19 pandemic when they spent time together at Peck's family home in California.

In September 2024, Mejia proposed, and the couple married in June 2025, beginning their wedding day with a pre-ceremony first look at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, the "space that brought us together," as Peck describes it. Now, as they settle into married life, the couple is looking ahead to more shared moments on the stage, including their upcoming performance, "Turn It Out With Tiler Peck & Friends," debuting on October 16th at New York City Center.

Peck, who expects to retire by 2030, says, "It's amazing to share this. The fact that I found somebody to experience these ballets with for the last time is really special." For now, the couple is savoring every moment, with Peck still giving her husband the occasional correction, as she trusts his opinion more than anyone else's. "A lot of couples don't get to do what they love with the person they love," she says.
